At its best, communication should propel your mission forward. It should build trust with your audience, bring clear value, empower you to show up as your most authentic self and rally your team together.

At its worst, poor communication becomes a barrier to connection and impact. It leaves you wandering, throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks or feeling completely stuck with little direction.

We help you affirm your unique identity. Then we use it to build marketing that brings deep and lasting impact for your mission.

Hi, I’m Aimee!

Hey, hi, hello — I’m the founder of Zest! Over my 13+ year career, I’ve used my obsession with the art of communication to support and guide teams of all shapes and sizes toward more impactful marketing.

I lead organizations to uncover their uniqueness —the one-of-a-kind pieces of their DNA that, when used strategically and creatively, help them communicate and connect in a whole new way. I help teams rally around their mission and support leaders to cast clear, bold vision that creates the foundation needed for a fulfilling, healthy and (dare I say) fun 🤩 culture. And I do it all with a commitment to curiosity, energy and zeal.

It’s time for a spark! Are you ready?

  • There has never been another mission just like your's, led by leaders like you, with a team like your's. You are one of a kind. So our work with you will be too!

    We use a process called AHA! — it’s been honed over thirteen years and has helped organizations of all kinds by using a DNA-first approach. It’s built to uncover what makes you unique and help you spark possibilities you didn’t see before. Then turn all those possibilities into effective internal and external communications that help you make progress for your mission.

  • No worries. That's why we're here! Schedule a free 30-min call and we promise by the end of it you'll have a better understanding of the problem you're hoping to solve and the path to progress.

  • We typically recommend starting with a communications assessment. We'll look at your internal comms, brand and marketing and put together a report that outlines where you're stuck and what possibilities are on the table. It will also include a roadmap for how to turn those possibilities into progress!

  • We got you! If you have ongoing marketing needs (like social media support, writing, project management, etc.) we'd love to chat through how we can support you on a monthly basis.
