Anna Solomon

I am a strategist and educator, a right-brained creative with a left-brained approach. With over a decade of experience working alongside creative businesses and organizations, I serve as a trusted partner in turning ideas into strategic action.

My Approach

Assess Foundations:

Before pressing play, I want to understand where you are, and where you want to get to. Listening to past experiences and analyzing quantitative data, we will identify current strengths, opportunities, and benchmarks from where you are growing from.

Cementing Your Values and Vision: 

As we define what a future vision for your business could look like, we’ll measure this up against your core values to envision something you would be proud of.

Building Systematically:

Each step in your strategic plan will be approached with intention and an eye for creating systems that grow with you.
