Rushford Lee has spent over 25 years as a branding and marketing creator. During that time, he and his team have developed the most remarkable branding tool I've seen in my 44 years in the marketing space. It's called a Branding and Marketing Playbook, and it can protect any company from "message drift", and the latest bright idea from some marketing genius. Rushford has designed hundreds of brands, but his most noteworthy achievement in my view is this Playbook. If your company is ready to lock in your marketing strategies and brand equity, you've gotta meet Rushford.

Make Kind LOUD is her mantra, and she delivers it powerfully. In the next few years I see Louisa on stage and on talk shows across America, because we all need what she is selling. We're sick and tired of the nasty tactics used by today's politicians, on our highways, and in the media. Thank you, Louisa, for your refreshing and electric message!
