Helping you get clarity, confidence, and clients.
As a brand messaging and marketing firm, we help coaches, consultants, and creative professionals clarify their messaging and streamline their marketing so they work with better clients, regain their time, and take home more money.
We help new organizations establish their positioning and develop a strong communications platform that will give them visibility and legitimacy.
We also work with established businesses who need to evolve their messaging and collateral to reflect a shift in strategic priorities or organizational structure that will broaden their reach and strengthen their appeal.
The result is communication with connection and understanding. Confident conversations. Outreach efforts coordinated and consistent across your team. A simple yet powerful pathway for new business growth. Increased focus on the things you most enjoy doing in your business and more people you enjoy doing business with.
We are here to help you win with your words—as defined by YOUR vision for success in business and the impact you desire for your family and community.
At the helm
Lisa Mullis,
brand messaging specialist and copy coach
Verbal and visual language has been a running theme throughout my professional and personal journey. A childhood filled with fine art extracurriculars and notebooks crammed with creative writing. A dual education in journalism and graphic design from University of Missouri-Columbia. Helping my Ethiopian-born son learn English. I have always been fascinated with the power of art, writing, music, and dialogue to communicate and connect.
Prior to Paraphrase Communications, I founded and operated Blue Marble Creative for sixteen years where I led communication strategy, brand identity and message development, and design execution for small businesses and nonprofits primarily in the edtech and health & wellness spaces.
Today, through Paraphrase Communications, I combine 23+ years of messaging, marketing, and small business acumen with a team of tech specialists to help coaches, consultants, and creatives build their businesses. New business owners get clearly defined brand positioning and the words that win clients—online and in real life. Advanced business owners are able to improve profit and predictability within their organization through high-converting marketing funnels.
I’m driven by a belief that small business has the power to positively shape our economies and communities and a desire to help entrepreneurs and organizations doing good in this world expand their ability to make a difference.
Whenever I can get out from behind the screen and jump into RL, I’m usually off adventuring with my family on foot, mountain bike, or boat somewhere near or far to where I’m based in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.
It’s all in the name
To “paraphrase” is to restate an idea in another form so that its meaning becomes clear. Effective communication is the ability to use words and images to help people understand, process, and share information. I believe communication is the key to living in a world that is happy, healthy, and safe.
