M. Ellison

Strategy consultant & writer

Clear thinking,
carefully written.

An editorial one-page template for consultants, writers, and advisors — set like a broadsheet, read like an essay.

About

Every practice has a thesis. Write yours in two paragraphs: the problem you keep seeing, and the way you approach it that others don't.

Second paragraph: proof. Years, industries, the kinds of rooms you've been in — stated plainly, without adjectives.

Expertise

  • Positioning

    One line on the outcome clients get.

  • Narrative & messaging

    Keep every line the same weight and length.

  • Executive writing

    Delete what you don't do; whitespace is credibility.

Process

  1. I. Listen

    Two weeks of interviews before a single recommendation.

  2. II. Frame

    The problem stated in one page, agreed by everyone.

  3. III. Write

    Drafts you can put in front of a board unedited.

Currently taking two clients for autumn.

The fastest route is a short note about your situation.
