Meet Laura

Branding for financial advisors, by someone who knows how.

I created You’ve Been Branded because I know how hard it is for financial advisors to find time for their own branding. After years working along side a top producing advisor, I was able to build his brand drawing from my strong background in marketing and communications. I can quickly pinpoint what your brand needs to look polished, professional, and competitive.

I help you strengthen your image and client communications so you can focus on what you do best.

Together, my goal is to help you achieve a cohesive brand identity that creates recognizable associations and feelings in the minds of your clients, that deliver actionable results. I help you communicate what you do best, which in turn, will motivate your clients and prospects to choose you for their financial guidance.

Helping Financial Advisors create a brand image and improve communications with their clients. 

If all products are the same, what is the differentiating factor? YOU!

You are the differentiating factor.

What do you think you stand for? What are your core values, and how do you communicate them?

I will help you solidify these ideas, and translate them to your clients.

1. Discovery

  • I begin with a one-on-one meeting to review your current brand, niche, and ideal client. We’ll walk through your client experience, strengths, and what sets you apart in the financial advisory space.

    This step helps me understand where you are, and where your brand needs to go.

2. Planning & Follow UP

  • After our discovery session, I develop a comprehensive brand and marketing strategy tailored to your unique strengths. This plan outlines what makes you different, why clients should trust you, and how to position your practice for growth.

    We will discuss how we will measure success and will be part of the implementation.

    You’ll receive a summary of findings, recommendations, and pricing for a full rebrand or a brand refresh, depending on your needs.

    “Laura did an incredible job with our marketing scheme and company website.  She continues to be tremendously helpful in developing and executing our overall marketing strategy.  Her vision and attention to details allow our advisory firm to stand out from the pack. She provides a great service and a very polished end product.”

    “We partnered with Laura after already being in the advisory business for 15 years, and our branding and marketing efforts took a quantum leap once we started working with her.  Her touch definitely made us look and feel like an organization that could compete with much larger firms, while still allowing us to convey the personalized service aspects that made us stand out. 

    Laura is a secret weapon and a gamechanger!”
