Your Passion,
Amplified

You know your business inside and out. You're passionate about what you do, care deeply about your customers, and believe in the value you provide. The opportunity for us is translating your passion into words that feel authentic to you and resonate with others—helping your clients catch the same excitement you have.

 

I'm CJ, and I help passionate people express themselves in ways that draw customers to them!

Consistent, Cohesive, Communication

Communicating your business strengths to your customers and clients happens dozens of ways every day. Social media posts. Your logo. Phone calls. Text threads. Official documents. Sales proposals. Grant applications. And even standing on stage presenting to an audience. With the right underlying themes and verbiage, you can package these ideas a dozen different ways to meet various communication needs.

Your unique voice and offerings are most effective when they consistently carry through everything you do. But consistency can be hard to deliver if you don’t have a message and language that feels natural for you.

 

I work with my clients to come up with a narrative that is comfortable for you to present, and translates into different presentation formats. Sales proposals. Public speaking. Social media posts. Web content. Articles. Sponsored content. Grant applications. I have extensive experience in all of these areas of communication and can train you how to do this work yourself, or I can parachute in and help create the content for you. Whatever you need, I am here to help you communicate in a way that brings your customers and clients to you.

The Business Storyteller

My name is Christian Jacobsen, or CJ for short, and I have been working in communications since the 1980s. Originally in architectural storytelling, I moved into the technology industry and worked for Apple, NASA, JavaSoft, many startup companies, organizations in the EU, UK, South Africa, and Australia, and published a few books along the way, too. From a costume designer in a musical theater, to a debt collector, to sports writer, to technologist (software and hardware developer), to non-profit board member, and voice actor for feature length films, my range of experience is extremely wide and includes work with governments, publicly traded companies, private companies, entrepreneurs, sole proprietors, non-profits, and everyone in between.

The Bottom Line

I enjoy interesting people and interesting projects and work on a sliding scale to fit any sized budget. Reach out to me and let’s discuss your project. If we feel a connection and you want to hire me, we will work out the details then. But there’s no charge until we agree on something I can charge you for, and the amount. My preference is to work on a flat-fee basis where we establish what the deliverables are, and I deliver that work. That way both of us have the best incentives to get work done quickly and efficiently.
