Who makes all of this magic?

Rebecca

Many years ago, Rebecca was an agency client. The organization she worked was spending a pretty penny to retain a PR agency. Some months they issued press releases and some months not too much happened. The monthly expense was far greater than the overall benefit to the organization. Rebecca thought there must be a better way for modest-budgeted organizations to obtain phenomenal creative services.

Years later Rebecca didn’t forget that experience and launched an “un-agency”. Good Egg Concepts was, literally, hatched from the idea that all businesses deserve access to great creative. From one client came many, many clients seeking a flexible, year-round, creative practice that could market and position their business.

Good Egg Concepts is an independent, boutique strategic communications consultancy. Drawing upon 30 years of professional expertise she earned while working for art museums, universities and companies, Rebecca leads creative projects of every stripe. In partnership with her wide network of independent design and production colleagues, Rebecca develops brands and fine-tunes muddy existing brand identities, ghost-writes sparkling copy, strategizes with clients on myriad projects and brings a wildly fresh perspective to everyday business problems in the branding, communications, and marketing spheres.

Rebecca has developed deep niches of experience thanks to her frequent collaborations with professional services practices, non-profits, membership organizations, and start-ups. She is a passionate champion of entrepreneurs and local businesses and truly enjoys working with her clients to help them achieve their ambitious goals. Rebecca is a frequent presenter to professional groups and offers talks spotlighting business marketing, social media for business success and topics focused on brand-building in a competitive marketplace.

Rebecca’s a native Chicagoan and a proud graduate of the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. When she’s not working, you’ll find Rebecca with her family and friends, enjoying the visual arts, reading great books, watching comedy, documentaries, the occasional infomercial, and traveling.

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”
