Work With Me

Accolades...

Shanna Trenholm is one-of-a-kind. During our 8 years of working together, she has not only assisted with grant writing, web copy, and board development, but her creative team helped to redesign our brand identity to truly reflect the essence of Supporting Alternative Solutions. Shanna has a keen understanding of the nonprofit community, our unique needs, and the benefits we provide to our communities. I love that she views the challenges of grant writing and fundraising not as barriers, but new opportunities for friend-raising and sharing our message. Shanna and her creative team are refreshing out-of-the-box thinkers who completely support the vision of their clients. If you are looking to take your grant proposals or corporate identity to the next level, Shanna is the woman you want on your team.

You need compelling copy

or

a brand overhaul…

and you need it now.

Staring at your website or the blank page, while softly weeping, won’t make killer copy appear.

Chin up.

It doesn’t have to be so awful.

Dry your eyes and let’s get started!

I offer four convenient brand or copywriting packages or I can customize one that suits you.

Check out the packages I offer:

Conversation Starters

Notice that glazed look people get when you talk at them about your business? I’m here to help you banish the elevator pitch forever! But you still need a way to talk about your business, a way that isn’t slimy, right?

Instead of talking at someone, and boring them to tears, I’ll set you up with Conversation Starters that you can use to engage with your listeners and create meaningful connections.

After you fill out my Brand Exploration worksheet, we’ll set up a time to chat for an hour (phone or Skype), to dig deep and get at the core of what you do, how you do it, and why you are unique. Within a week of our conversation (and follow-up email), you’ll walk away with 5-7 phrases and questions—compelling ways to talk about your business in that a-ha, why didn’t I think of that way. And don’t worry; the Conversation Starters can be as unconventional (or tradition

al) as you are. Let’s chat.

Package cost: $900

Brand Boost

Does your brand reflect your business? Is your tagline a little…stale? Wait, what, no tagline? If you are an entrepreneur or you run a small- to medium-sized business, chances are your brand has not grown with you and the changes you have made over the years.

Your brand is your identity—it’s how the world sees you. Be sure that the world views you the way you want to be viewed—by articulating your message with clarity and style. No boring web copy or cluttered sites allowed!

With the Brand Boost, I will evaluate your current messaging and site design/layout for clarity and relevance to your offerings and/or business. You get a fresh new tagline, a brand values statement (NOT a mission statement, this is about you and your company’s personality, what you stand for, and why people would want to connect/work with you), in addition to the personalized site assessment.

The Brand Boost package is designed to give you what you need to align your design with your shiny new brand image. And don’t worry; if your site needs a facelift, I have a genius designer on my team if you need some visual magic. Get in touch with me today and let’s give your brand a boost!

Package cost: $1500

Take Five

New business? New website? Career change? You get word wizardry for your site’s five most important pages: Home, About, and three additional pages—the choice is yours. Super-charged, jargon-free web copy designed to enhance sales, spotlight your work, and clarify your image in a professional and personable way.

This package takes care of the essentials, so do yourself and your business a favor and Take Five!

Package cost: $2500

The Whole Shebang

You need it all. A refresh. A reset. A complete revitalization (or a blow it all up and start fresh package). That’s what you get with The Whole Shebang. You get all of the above, copywriting, branding, and the conversation starters, plus TWO additional pages of web copy, for $300 less than it would cost you for the a la carte options above. And I make it easy for you to pay over three payments (rather than two).

Let’s get this done, let’s get you on track, let’s end your misery of your website and messaging. Get The Whole Shebang today! This package requires serious brain, time and creative space, so I have limited openings for The Whole Shebang. Please contact me for my availability.

Package cost: $4500

And in case you are wondering…

Why Should I Work with You?

You should work with me because I do this every day: copywriting, branding, and coaching for clients large and small, and I love what I do! My experience is diverse: from restaurants, musicians, and museums, to cosmetic surgeons, nonprofit organizations, and therapists. I’ve got chops—check out my Portfolio page for a sampling of my work.

I play well with just about everyone. My fave collaborators are creative entrepreneurs (artists, designers, coaches etc.) or creative businesses (restaurants, design firms, hip + cool products & services), so if you like my style let’s talk and see if we are a fit!
