VIP DAY
Brand Messaging + Marketing Strategy
Kickstart your brand’s evolution with a full day of dedicated creative energy
— and your complete marketing strategy roadmap delivered in less than 8 hours.
Time to rock the boat.
Too many extraordinary brands settle for an ordinary marketing strategy — because we’re taught from day one not to make waves on the sea of sameness.
But you’re a majestic ship in an ocean of busted old dinghies, and it’s time to set a course beyond that endless horizon of “meh” marketing.
When the pressure’s on — to make that next fundraising push, pitch your next dream client, enter a new market, or launch your next big thing — there’s no room for an ordinary marketing strategy and no time to waste.
And it’s oh so easy to get in your own way with all those shoulds and what-ifs.
So sit back and let us help you sail right out of the fog with clarity and power with a marketing strategy that works.
Brand evolution doesn’t have to take centuries.
WIth a traditional agency, the messaging and marketing strategy process can take six weeks or longer. There are other clients and projects to juggle, and the feedback and revision process slows the whole thing down even more.
We think the best results happen when those creative juices can flow for hours at a time — not in 30-minute bursts.
Fortified Branding’s VIP Day pulls back the velvet rope and lets you sashay straight into that exclusive club of trailblazers and mold breakers.
You’ll have your evolved messaging and a marketing strategy blueprint in your hands within 8 hours and can put it to work in hour 9. (Go ahead, vogue.)

Testimonials
Branding is supposed to tell people who our company is to them, but working with you helped us understand who we are to ourselves.
With my new CBD company, SierraKind, about to join a crowded marketplace, I invested in The VIP experience offered by Fortified Branding. Beth teased out our ethos setting us apart from competitors. The cohesive messaging package she orchestrated allowed me to immediately build relationships, elevate my fledgling company, and alleviate the stress that comes with the details of marketing, allowing me to focus on the rest of running my company.
I struggled for the longest time trying to capture the true essence of my brand. Fortified Branding’s work has brought about newfound clarity and confidence, and I now know exactly what my brand does for my people.
We hired Fortified Branding to redo our branding after a merger. We could not have landed in a more exceptional place of clarity, magic, and differentiation. Through this creative process, we created a unique voice that will make an incredible difference in the marketplace and showcase our value to current and future clients alike.
Just imagine.
You’ve put your evolved marketing strategy plan into action, and now…
- Your team knows what’s up with your messaging and shares it with a unified voice.
- Your website is hustling to attract your ideal customers while you sleep.
- Your marketing strategy makes your customer the hero, and they’re clamoring to work with you.
- Hitting your revenue goals is child’s play because everything just…works.
- You’re busting through growth barriers like it’s nobody’s business.
And you wonder how you ever settled for playing small ball. You’re major league, baby.
Hey, VIP.
I’m Beth Carr, Founder and CEO of Fortified Branding, a brand and marketing strategy firm.
I spent years in the world of corporate branding, and I’ve experienced the frustration of trying to be someone else in hopes of getting ahead in the business world — especially when you discover it’s not actually getting you that far.
And after learning how to sail my own way out of the sea of sameness, I started Fortified Branding to help badass brands navigate those murky waters.
We believe you and your brand deserve to shine unapologetically and make a difference with your mission, vision, values, and everything you offer.
We can’t wait to give you the VIP treatment and put your brand first for the entire day. The world shouldn’t have to wait another day to experience your brand’s brilliance.
