What I Do

Lionsheart Creative is a professional content development and marketing firm that is:

On Call

By design, we have a small customer base. We commit to our clients and the causes they care about. We only dedicate our efforts to customers we believe in. Lionsheart works with a large team of freelancers who only work on projects where they’re needed. That keeps your costs low but never compromises your needs or quality.

Began in Journalism

Traditional journalism and broadcasting skills are the most transferable to the new world online. Lionsheart straddles the world between traditional media (newspaper, magazine, radio, and TV) and the internet.

Grew in Publishing

Book publishing and product creation tempered Lionsheart’s skills of taking an idea from white board to the street. Lionsheart does it faster because of their relationships and less expensive because of integration.

Specializes in Blue Collar Creativity

Lionsheart believes that creativity for creativity’s sake creates Super Bowl ads that cost millions to produce and millions more to air but are forgotten within a few days. Directional Brainstorming^TM applies creativity to your problems for solutions that make you money.

Operates with Common Sense Marketing

Thousands of books and tens of thousands of blog posts recommend millions of marketing tools for your business. But just like every smart phone owner doesn’t need all one million apps available in the app store, you don’t need all marketing tools for your business. You need the right ones that make you more efficient, convert more new customers, and build your brand. Lionsheart customizes each marketing plan based on your needs. No cut and paste allowed.
