Jodi is an amazing person, that knows how to reach out, lift-up your spirit, and make you smile for choosing the entrepreneurial roller-coaster.

Jodi has a long-standing relationship with Venture Cafe and when we needed an instructor for the Marketing & Branding segment of our Fall 2020 LAUNCH! Pre-Accelerator, she answered the bell once again. Jodi's expertise helped 25 aspiring entrepreneurs develop their branding strategy and despite the virtual nature of the class, participants were actively engaged and present (if you know Jodi, its hard not to be!) We're grateful for her help and mentorship for our community.

I had given a few pitches before I met Tatiana but I had never won nor placed in any. I met with Tatiana and she is efficient! Tatiana asked me the perfect questions I needed to hear so I could tell a more compelling story, within minutes of our meeting. Meeting Tatiana was so valuable, her wisdom and guidance allowed me to create and tell my story so it could be heard and 1 week after meeting Tatiana I won a cash prize in a pitch contest! All of my pitch adjustments I made because of her specific points and questions. She is a powerhouse thinker, communicator, marketer!

Jodi is amazing! Even in my short time working with her, I've found her to be an extremely demanding, yet an enthusiastic, supportive, and engaged mentor. She's highly interested in making sure founders and teams have a deep understanding of the problem, and context their own solutions reside within. Beyond just marketing and branding, she brings a depth of knowledge & experience on all aspects of building/running a company. She's an absolute pleasure to work with.

My organization hosted a Business Sustainability Boot Camp, where Jodi was one of the presenters. Her style was informal, creating an atmosphere that was akin to having a conversation with a trusted mentor.
She started from her beginnings of how she got to where she is today. Her story was compelling and inspiring. Her presentation ended in a crescendo full of knowledge and experience, with a splash of 'you can do this, you have to do this', determination.
Jodi is an amazing person and an asset to whomever she comes into contact with.

Jodi and the team she put together with LCG Brands for our total company rebrand were exceptional! Jodi's direct experience in the private sector and government gave her insights into our business that we couldn't find anywhere else. From basic concept, naming convention, logo design and website design, she drove the process, providing our firm with direction and focus from a singular voice which was very important for us. Additionally, her team was able to seamlessly pivot when a significant challenge presented itself; dramatically compressing the timeline and leading to a very successful launch of our new brand.

Jodi is a true life force! She is extremely focused about her objectives and also about what she can offer. Don't go to Jodi if you want an easy time - she will challenge you and push you hard! But her goal is very clear - to get you to look at the things that need to be addressed and come up with answers and insights that will power you forward. I highly recommend some time with Jodi if you want a breath of fresh air in your life!

I had the pleasure of attending one of Jodi's workshops on how to work with traditional media. I gained valuable insights both on how to approach traditional media outlets and on managing media relationships as a small startup. What sets Jodi apart is her ability to apply her expertise and cater to the needs of a wide variety of companies – from startups to large, established players. Oh, and she is a fabulously fun and energetic person to work with as well!

I had the pleasure of working with Jodi at the business accelerator program MassChallenge, where my company, Smak, was a finalist. As the resident branding expert, Jodi had an amazing ability to come up with very creative and well thought out ideas, and see them through to completion. The level of access she provided to us in good-natured fashion, at any time, was frankly off the charts. I'd be delighted to work with Jodi again.
