Welcome to Seven Oaks Consulting! I’m Jeanne Grunert, a senior Content Strategist, Content Marketer, and Brand Storyteller. I help business-to-business (B2B) companies turn their expertise into stories customers care about.

I have decades of experience in journalism, direct marketing, brand marketing, SEO, and writing. I use the power of stories to create impactful sales and marketing materials for acquisition, retention, and brand loyalty campaigns.

The right words matter.

Stories Sell

The best brands are story brands. Human beings are hardwired since birth to focus on stories. Content marketing harnesses the power of stories to help customers understand not just what you do, but why it matters.

As a content strategist, brand storyteller, writer and RFP consultant, I work with companies who have complex products or services and struggle to make them stand out. Often, they get mired in industry jargon, or lost in the details. I sift through those details to find the treasures beneath, and make them sparkle through powerful content strategies, thought leadership, and proposals.

Services I provide include:

• Marketing consulting, reviewing your existing content programs, proposals, and materials like blogs and helping you identify what works, what doesn’t, and fix it.
• Content strategy, content marketing, and content writing, from start to finish, managing and owning the entire content cycle for your marketing team.
• Writing, especially articles, blog posts, and other narratives that help sell complex products and services.
• RFP management and writing, to help your proposals stand out in federal, state, and private procurement.

You can hire me for a one hour consultant, a monthly retainer, or a project. Contact me today for an estimate.
