“Kristen and I have worked together for quite a while, and I think I’ve called her my ‘word goddess’ and ‘lifesaver’ more than a dozen times. She proofreads and edits all of the content for my print publication and business correspondence. As a bi-lingual expat, a parent and someone who owns multiple businesses, I can’t do it all on my own. And as the owner of a magazine, I need an editorial assistant who understands my voice and my style and can edit content quickly. Kristen finds the words I’m missing while still staying authentic to my voice. She has the fastest turnaround time I have seen. Her communication is always on point and brightens my day. I can highly vouch for her work.”

“Kristen Shoates is a branding goddess. Her ability to beautifully, accurately AND concisely capture the heart of a business, brand or personality is unmatched. I’ve worked with Kristen for years in numerous capacities and when it came time to build a trusted team for my own personal brand, there was no one I trusted more to help steward and communicate my vision. Kristen is the strategist and brand master you want on your team.”

“Working with Kristen is a dream! Like most entrepreneurs, I’m protective of my brand and our voice. From the first conversation, Kristen listened and then gave us that brand voice back with more bounty than we could have imagined. It’s tough to admit, but she may be better at speaking it than we are. I couldn’t imagine not having her (and her fierce talent) on the team.”

“I can’t express enough what a joy it has been to work with Kristen on many projects through the years. She has an incredible talent for uncovering language that can position a brand in a unique and compelling way. She excels at building and executing strategy for brands in an exceptionally organized manner. She’s quick on her feet and quick to respond to any circumstance with relevant and impactful recommendations. If you are looking for someone to help you create a brighter tomorrow for your brand, Kristen is a great first step!”

“Kristen is a brilliant writer and marketing strategist. Her ability to see and think about the big picture and create solutions is outstanding. I have worked with Kristen for a few years and I have the utmost respect for her skills and workplace professionalism.”

“Kristen is one of the best writers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She’s extremely creative and personable, but she’s also results-oriented and sticks to deadlines. She quickly and easily grasps the ‘big picture’ behind communications tactics and always exceeds expectations.”
