The Happy Medium Method
I bring my full self to our partnership, and invite you to as well. You're getting a 22-year marketing veteran, a 24-year camp counselor, a yoga teacher, and an indie bookseller, all in one. That mix makes for a more expansive, human outcome, for both of us, and it means the work will be grounded in fresh perspective and connection.
Here are three key ways this impacts our work together:
Your real life informs the parameters.
Before we talk marketing, I ask about your capacity, your energy, and your interest levels. Advice built on the reality of your life today is the kind you’re most likely to follow through on.
We strengthen foundations before building additions.
I’m all about clarifying before complicating. Oftentimes, the issue is that small businesses are prioritizing adding vs. strengthening. We’ll clear the noise from your business and ensure what’s working is as strong as possible before we add new tactics or trends (and get really clear on the “why” behind anything new.)
Simplicity drives self-trust and lasting results.
I focus on small, actionable steps to build real momentum in your business. My goal is always to give you something simple enough to act on (and once that's successful, to build upon). You'll leave our partnership with less on your plate than you started with, not more.
Hi! I’m Brooke. 👋🏻
I started Happy Medium to help independent business owners cultivate more clarity, confidence, and enjoyment in their marketing efforts.
In my career of working with brands big and small (including Jeep, Nike, ESPN, Chicago Public Library, Ask Holly How, and MCA Chicago), I’ve experienced the most success when the marketing honors and works with the humans behind the businesses. If something doesn’t work for your personality or day-to-day energy, it won’t work for your business.
It’s why I embrace vulnerability, connection, humor, and substance over mindlessness, false urgency, or short-lived trends. Because marketing doesn’t have to be all or nothing (or a perfect match for the algorithm) to be impactful.
Whatever your challenge, together we can identify the right next step for your business and your spirit.
Let’s find your happy medium.

Brooke was able to connect to our brand, take a holistic view of our needs and customer, and align all detailed elements of our campaigns in order to drive the best engagement. So often in the world of business, things can feel transactional, but she manages to make it feel personal- because it is!
