Testimonials
Lori challenged my preconceived notions about my organization’s values and the clarity I gained was one of the biggest benefits of the process.
I have already recommended AcornOak as a vendor because they are approachable, easy to work with, and insightful.
Ford Seeman, President & Founder, Forest Founders
Lori was open and willing to take on a start up brand and team to really set the stage for their digital launch strategy.
She brought order and collaboration to a group of friends and brand supporters and in the end we came away with a thoughtful and executable foundation in the way we will look to define our brand, launch our story and spend our digital dollars.
Thank you again!!

I would highly recommend Lori for your company's branding, marketing and sales strategy development. Over the course of 3 months, Lori worked alongside our small team to establish building blocks and roadmaps to help us with everything from our brand architecture framework to sales strategy.
Her suggestions and acumen truly helped us develop a strong foundation, and provided the us with the insight we needed to establish a solid plan for the future. I couldn't be any more pleased with the outcome of working with her.
