Brand strategy and messaging for companies doing good work.

From strategy to execution, BNO Consulting supports brands to refine messaging, strengthen positioning, and elevate presence - ensuring every touchpoint works hard to connect with the right audience and spark a lasting impact.

I'm Brittany - a brand strategist and marketing leader who believes that the best work happens when you combine smart strategy with genuine playfulness. We all work too much to not infuse a little fun.

I help values-driven brands tell stories that connect, campaigns that convert, and strategies that actually get used (not filed away in a 92-slide deck nobody opens). Over 15+ years, I've led marketing for brands solving real problems - from making clean nutrition accessible to creating spaces for nursing moms to encouraging businesses to do better for the environment. I've managed teams, built budgets, launched products, and helped early-stage founders find their voice and craft messaging that connects with their audience.

Beyond the work, I'm a Vermont-based mom of two humans and one fluffy dog, an outdoor recreator, a pinecone enthusiast, and a firm believer that everyone needs an outdoor shower.

If you're building something meaningful and want a strategic partner who brings both the insight and the energy, let's connect.

brands I’ve worked with:

from idea to impact, here’s where I can jump in:

  • For brands seeking clarity, confidence, and a story that sticks.

    We’ll get to the heart of what makes your brand unique, and make sure that comes through in how you show up. This is about getting crisp on your positioning, defining your voice, and crafting messaging that connects with the people you’re here for.

    What this might look like:

    • A brand & competitive audit

    • Clear brand positioning & messaging framework

    • Voice & tone guidelines

    • Audience insights & personas

    So your brand shows up with clarity and consistency across each and every touchpoint.

  • For brands ready to translate their positioning into content that works.

    Your website and content should reflect the heart of your brand and drive results. Whether we’re refreshing your current site or building from scratch, we’ll make sure it’s designed to connect with your audience and support your goals.

    What this might look like:

    • Website copy strategy & structure

    • Updated messaging across key pages

    • Content planning (site, blog, email, campaign)

    • SEO-ready copy that sounds like you, not AI

    Because your content should do more than fill space - it should pull people in.

  • For growing teams who are stretched thin and need short or long-term support.

    I’ve been in-house and know what it’s like to have more goals than hands to execute them. That’s where I come in. I plug in as a trusted partner to lead cross-functional projects, manage brand or marketing efforts, and keep things moving without a long onboarding.

    What this might look like:

    • Leading brand or marketing projects

    • Managing new product or site launches

    • Supporting internal teams or contractors

    • Bridging the gap between strategy & execution

    So things don’t just get started, they get done too.
