Award-winning and results-driven 4C/4P marketing

If your startup or small business is lacking a marketing team, or  you need CMO level vision, specialized skills, or a jumpstart to your future, I’d love to help you. Welcome to The Brand Bunker! You’ll find deep marketing and communications expertise, but in a very lean operation. I’m a hands-on doer, but when burst capacity is needed, I access a broad global or local network.

You’ll quickly discover big picture thinking combined with ROI-driven process discipline in building the 4Ps of a complete, customized and integrated marketing strategy.

Progress over perfection

When you choose to start a new business, or transform the one you have, count on The Brand Bunker for expertise in go-to-market plans, sales enablement, and amazing brand strategy. 

Heather, our founder, has been in the marketing and communications game her entire career – internal and external – driving B2B and consumer marketing, corporate communications, employer brand/employee communications. 

Super well-versed in digital and traditional marketing, AI, new media, SMS and more, The Brand Bunker brings you  new marketing and technology approaches that can make your life – and your customer experience – easier with less stress.

Innovative Approaches

Our strategies deliver fast, practical ways to build trust and visibility for your business to the right people, at the right time, in the right way – on budgets big and small.

If you love your name, let’s amplify it. If you don’t have a name or want to change it, we’ll get super creative drawing on my love of language and meaning. My process includes thorough research into trademarks, branded domains and search engines to avoid unintended duplication.

We’ll talk about the customer or market need that your product, service or solution fills, including the ultimate value and benefits in the eyes of the customer.

Remember, not every product needs or deserves a brand! 

But rest assured, your brand architecture will fully support your customer lifecycle or product roadmap.

Then we can zone in on pricing strategies that command a brand premium. From there, I’ll partner with you or your team to create a brilliant marketing campaign.

Along the way, I’ll show you some tricks and tools to build self-sufficiency. In the end, that helps you save money, while upskilling your team for a sustainable marketing process.

My experience with CRM – or Customer Relationship Management – helps integrate new marketing activity directly into your management processes. Good systems matter!

Videos you can afford

Video in all its forms keep growing by leaps and bounds. Reels on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or YouTube, for example, continue to perform 300% better on social media platforms such as Facebook. At the same time, high-quality video has also been cost-prohibitive for many lower-margin businesses and those starting out.

Welcome to a place that delivers engaging, solid-quality videos that have earned thousands of likes, shares and purchase actions. Sure, if you need highly-produced videos with all the bells and whistles for your next industry keynote, I’m all in. But with today’s cutting-edge video software, I can crank out fast, scrappy videos in a couple days that really achieve the marketing goal. Ask for client samples!

Talent you can trust.

"Heather is an amazing marketing leader and communications strategist who has a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the marketing and communications field. She helped me launch a new health and wellness business venture as COVID-19 lockdowns put an end to in-studio classes yet demand for wellness was increasing. I shifted from a local to a national business model, and to online, interactive Zoom classes. Can't say enough about her expertise and ongoing support."
