I work with business owners as a strategic collaboration partner to define your brand strategy, optimize your digital marketing efforts, and create a plan to take action on your ideas + grow your business with confidence and clarity.

Can we talk about something I see a lot with clients and fellow business owners?

You have an idea you’re genuinely excited about. You know what you want to create, roughly how you want it to go, and you’re ready to get moving. So you start looping in your team — a Slack message here, a quick email there, a “can you just handle this?” conversation that made total sense in the moment.

And then things start to get … messy.

😵‍💫 Your team keeps coming back with questions you weren’t expecting.
😩 Decisions that should be simple suddenly require a whole meeting.
😬 Things that should have taken a week stretch into a month.
🫠 And somewhere in the middle of all of it, the momentum you started with just quietly (or maybe not-so-quietly) disappears.

It’s not because the idea wasn’t good.
And it’s not because the people around you aren’t capable.

It’s because everyone is trying to execute something that was never fully mapped out in a way they could actually work from.

That’s the thing a real plan solves — not just the what, but the who, the when, the order of operations, and the reasoning behind it, documented clearly enough that your team can move without you having to be in every conversation to keep things on track.

So the next time to feel the momentum stalling and the mess creeping in, ask yourself: Does my team have the action plan they need? Or am I expecting them to read my mind and fill in the gaps?

If you’ve rewritten your website more than once and it still doesn’t feel quite right … the problem probably isn’t your copy.

I promise I’m not saying that to be judgy.
I’m actually currently in the process of iterating the hell out of my website copy, so I think that’s why I have this on the brain right now.

But here’s what I’ve been noticing (in myself and in my clients and colleagues), and honestly it’s one of the reasons I love working at the intersection of messaging and website projects.

We have a moment to read through our website (or if you’re like me, you have a big presentation coming up and you have this “oh sh*t” moment where you realize you haven’t actually updated your website copy since what feels like the dark ages), and you see outdated copy, surface level language, clunky descriptions (or again, if you’re like me, photos that are eleven million years old). … I could go on and on.

So you get the instant desire to just scrap it all and redo it. Maybe you hire a copywriter, or maybe you take another pass at it yourself, but something still doesn’t feel right … so you tweak, and tweak, and iterate, and tweak some more. And the whole time, the real issue is sitting one level up — in the message strategy that the copy is supposed to be built on.

Because here’s the thing …
Your copy can only be as clear as the strategy behind it.

Let me repeat that for the folks in the back.
If you don’t have a solid messaging foundation — a clear sense of who you’re talking to, what you stand for, and what makes your approach different — how can you expect your copy to truly land?

So before you touch your website again, it’s worth asking yourself: do I actually have a clear message strategy to work from… or am I just hoping the right words will finally show up this time?

This is what I’m currently wrestling with on my own website (you know … the whole cobblers shoe thing), so if you want to chat through any questions that bubble up as you think through your website, feel free to reach out anytime!

There’s a line from a podcast interview I listened to a while back that’s been stuck in my brain for a bit.

Jesse Cole, the founder of the Savannah Bananas (if you’re not familiar, they’re basically what happens when baseball, theater, comedy, and pure chaotic joy all get tossed into a blender and somehow come out as a wildly successful sports entertainment experience with millions of people on a ticket waitlist) said something that felt really relevant to every business owner I know.

He said it’s important to know who you’re for. But it’s just as important — maybe more important — to know who you’re NOT for.

And I think most of us skip that second part entirely.

Especially if you’re a purpose-driven business owner who genuinely wants to help people. Because when you care about your work the way you do, the idea of intentionally narrowing your message feels counterintuitive. Almost unkind. So instead you soften what you really mean. You add more explanation. You slip into “this could also work for you if…” language because you don’t want anyone to feel left out. (Yep, I’m speaking from experience on this one)

And before you know it, your marketing starts sounding less like a clear signal and more like a polite little beige sweater.

Perfectly fine. Completely inoffensive. Not exactly memorable. And definitely not doing the hard work of helping the right people recognize themselves in what you’re saying.

The Savannah Bananas didn’t build what they built by trying to convince traditional baseball fans that they should enjoy dancing players, trick plays, and banana costumes. They got clear on exactly who they were for — families, people who wanted to have fun, people looking for an experience rather than just a game — and let that clarity shape everything.

So maybe we can all learn an important lesson from Jesse …

Your business doesn’t need to be for everyone. And the clearer you get about who you’re actually here to serve, the easier it becomes to stop diluting your message for people who were never really your people in the first place.

So if your marketing has been feeling a little flat lately, it might be worth asking yourself: am I trying to speak to everyone? And what would change if I stopped?

The clients I do my best work with aren't necessarily the ones with the biggest budgets or the most polished businesses.

They're the ones who show up ready to think.

They come into a session with context, questions, and a genuine willingness to dig in. They're not looking to hand something off and wait for a result — they want a real thinking partner who will push back when something isn't quite right, ask the questions they haven't thought to ask yet, and help them see their own business a little more clearly than they could on their own.

And honestly? That kind of collaboration is what makes the work feel like the work. When a client shows up that way, something shifts in the room … the conversation gets richer, the clarity comes faster, and what we build together actually reflects the depth of what they're doing in their business.

I don't think that's a personality type, by the way. I think it's a mindset. And it tends to show up in business owners who have been at this long enough to know that the answers are usually already there — they just need the right person and the right process to help bring them out.

So if that sounds like you … you’re in the right place. 😊
I'd love to connect and hear what you're working on!

Early in my business, I felt a lot of pressure to be one thing.

Either you're a strategist OR you're a project manager. Either you think big picture OR you get into the details. And for a while I tried (really hard) to fit neatly into one category … but it always just felt limiting. Like I was leaving half of myself out of whatever I was doing.

So, a couple years into my business, I finally gave myself permission to be an “AND”, instead of an “OR”. And once I stopped trying to turn one side of my brain off, I started really noticing what was going wrong in the launches and projects around me.

On one side, I'd watch ex*****on happen in a vacuum — lots of moving parts, lots of activity, lots of things getting checked off a list — but nothing anchored in a strategy that actually made sense for the business. On the other side, I'd see beautifully crafted strategy work collect digital dust because the business owner walked away with a gorgeous document, had a brief moment of excitement … and then the "now what" set in.

Neither one worked. And I knew I never wanted to be the reason a project ended up in either of those places.

So that became the lens I bring to every project now: can we keep this moving efficiently, AND is it anchored in something that actually feels aligned? Both questions matter, and it honestly feels liberating to think through projects from BOTH perspectives.

So, if you're heading into a launch or a campaign and you're thinking through the support you have around you, here are a few questions to think through:

-Does the person leading this understand the strategy behind it, or are they just managing tasks?

-Is there someone making sure the ex*****on actually reflects the vision you started with?

-If something goes sideways mid-project, is there someone who can make a strategic call — not just a logistical one?

-When the project is done, will it feel like yours — aligned, intentional, and worth the effort?

If any of those feel a little uncertain… that might be the place to start. And as always, feel free to reach out with any questions! (just be prepared to think things through from a million different perspectives … I guess that’s just how I’m wired, and I’m embracing it these days). 😊

Something I’ve come to understand pretty deeply about the business owners I work with is that most of them are hard-wired as visionaries.

Their brains are constantly spinning — with ideas, with possibilities, with the next thing they want to create or build or launch. That’s not a flaw, by the way. That’s actually their superpower. It’s what got them to where they are and what keeps their business moving forward in meaningful ways.

But here’s where it gets hard.

At some point, the vision has to come down from the clouds and turn into actual steps, timelines, task lists, and details … and that’s where a lot of visionary business owners hit a wall. Not because they’re not smart or capable enough to figure it out, but because that kind of thinking requires a completely different part of their brain. And constantly swinging between big picture ideation and tiny minutia details is exhausting in a way that’s hard to explain to someone who hasn’t experienced it.

What I’ve seen over and over again is that when visionary business owners spend too much of their energy trying to wrangle the details, something quietly suffers — and it’s usually the visionary thinking itself. The thing they’re actually best at. The thing their business needs most from them.

So if you're a visionary who's been white-knuckling your way through the details lately, here’s my gentle reminder for you today:

You don’t have to try to juggle it all. You can build something meaningful and impactful, without feeling like you’re constantly drowning. You just need the right support, so you can spend your time and energy in the ideation that only you can do.

I think most business owners are making marketing harder than it needs to be.

Yep, I said it.
And here’s why:

A lot of it comes down to something nobody really talks about: message strategy vs copywriting.

Yes, I used “vs” very intentionally there, because they’re not the same thing … but they often get confused or used interchangeably. And that’s what I think is making things a lot harder than they should be.

Here’s how I think about it.

Your message strategy is the foundational direction that lives behind the scenes. It’s your compass. It’s not polished, and it’s not supposed to be — but it should be grounded and clear enough to guide everything you say and do. Who you’re talking to, what you actually stand for, what makes your approach different. That’s the strategy.

Your copywriting, on the other hand, is the external expression of your message strategy. It’s where you breathe life into the messaging and make it connect with the right people. Your website, your emails, your content — that’s the copy.

The reason writing copy feels so hard is that most business owners are trying to do both things at once without realizing it. They sit down to write their services page and suddenly they’re also trying to figure out their positioning, their audience, and the right words to say it all at the same time.

Once you understand that these are two separate things that happen in a specific order, so much of the frustration starts to make sense. So if staring at a blank services page has ever made you want to throw your laptop in the trash and just live in a hammock on the beach instead … it might be worth asking yourself whether you have a clear message strategy to come back to.

Because although hammocks and ocean waves sound dreamy, think of how incredible it would feel to have powerful copy that flows out naturally because it’s anchored in exactly what you envision for your business.

“Do you think you’ll go back to a traditional 9 - 5 job anytime soon?”

A friend asked me that question recently, and I was honestly surprised at how quickly I said “Nope.”

When I started my business 7 years ago, I honestly didn’t have a long-term plan for it. I just knew there was something in my gut telling me to give freelancing a try … so I took an uncharacteristic leap of faith (if you know me, you know I’m SUPER risk averse), and Koree Ritter Consulting was born.

And what I’ve come to truly love over the past several years aren’t the big flashy moments.
Not the sales goals, or the creativity, or the flexibility, or even the wins that look great on paper.

It’s quieter than that.

It's the client who came to a messaging session feeling like she'd been describing her business wrong for years — and walked away with a one-pager that finally said exactly what she'd been trying to say all along. Not because I handed her something new. But because we finally got what was already in her head onto the page in a way that felt true.

It's the client who had a project she'd been wanting to tackle for months but couldn't seem to get any traction on. After our planning session, she sent me a message saying the document I put together gave her and her entire team their marching orders. Everything mapped out — the steps, the priorities, the who and the when — in a way that finally made it feel doable instead of just aspirational.

It's the business owner who stopped feeling like everything had to run through her, because for the first time someone else was holding the picture together.

That's what I'm actually trying to create in this work. Not just a deliverable. Not just a strategy doc or a project plan or a messaging one-pager. That specific feeling of finally being able to exhale … because something that's been sitting heavy for a long time just got a whole lot lighter.

If that's what you've been looking for, I'd love to connect.

Can we talk about websites?

I’ve led a L.O.T. of website redesign projects throughout my career, and the thing I hear most often — before we even get started — is some version of "I know something is off, but I can't figure out what. It just doesn’t feel like me or my business anymore."

The copy doesn't quite capture it. The pages feel a little disconnected. It looks fine, but it doesn't really feel like the business anymore. And every time you sit down to fix it, you're not sure where to actually start.

That feeling makes complete sense. And it's usually telling you something important.

So if you’re reading this and nodding, here’s a simple place to start:
-Read through each page as if you’re a stranger who just found you for the first time.
-Then ask yourself: Does each page feel like it belongs to the same business? Does it tell a clear, consistent story from start to finish?

If you’re hesitating on either of those … that’s probably your best place to start.
