SLEEP OR DIE
You’ve got a cool product and vision, but it’s just not clicking. Sometimes things work, sometimes they don’t — you’ve got the pieces, but not how to fit them together.
"OMG it’s me" 🤭
You’ve hired freelancers, followed DIY advice, teamed up with GPT, and tried to keep up with things the brands you love are doing—but your marketing still feels disconnected and impossible to manage.
You’ve Tried It All — But Your Marketing Still Feels Like a Mess
Meanwhile, that other brand is showing consistently up with on-point content, kick-ass messaging, a full waitlist, podcast spots, and the retail collabs on your manifestation board. 😢
IS THIS YOU?
You’re testing influencer gifting, tweaking your Shopify, trying to reverse engineer it-brand playbooks—but without the team, budget, or support, it’s hard to keep up.
You’re Playing the It-Brand Game Without the It-Brand Team
You’re Stuck Editing While Everyone Else Is Executing
You’re still editing that reel from two weeks ago while other founders are showing up every day with clear and cohesive content (that you keep saving as inspo).
You’re trying to look legit and you go through phases of feeling confident… then you come back to feeling like you don’t know what you're doing, stuck figuring out what to do next with no clear throughline.
You Bounce Between Confidence and WTF Am I Doing?
Most marketing advice skips the foundation: your Sticky Brand DNA. Once that’s set, strategy stops feeling like guessing and starts feeling like clarity you can execute.
If your marketing feels all over the place, it’s not you

So if it’s not about doing more…
What is it about?
It’s about building on a foundation that actually sticks.
That’s why inside The Incubator, we don’t start with content.
We start with your Sticky Brand DNA — and everything flows from there.
Why hasn’t your marketing been working?
➡️ You’re executing without anchoring.
➡️ Creating without clarity.
➡️ Building without a brand that sticks.
Because it was built on top of a brand that’s not fully defined.
You need a repeatable marketing system rooted in what makes your brand connect with your dream customer on the BFF-level—and turns your product into a must-have.
Sticky Brand DNA™.
Once your SBDNA is clear, everything else becomes easier — and far more effective.
At Creating Forward, we call this your
It’s the foundational strategy that clarifies your positioning, amplifies your marketing, and turns everything you already know about your product into a brand people obsess over.
It’s the first thing we build inside The Incubator — whether you’re launching or already established.
THIS IS WHERE You need Sticky Brand DNA
We'll talk about your business and goals, then I’ll offer insights to help build your brand and enhance your marketing.
If it feels aligned, we’ll talk about working together. If not, you’ll still walk away with value and will be a part of my Founder community, which means you’ll be on my radar for partnership opps and be invited to events.

Having a partner in your business who sees the full picture
I'm right there beside you to strategize, prioritize, and implement—step by step.
"This mentorship feels like such a safe space to ask all my questions, and I’ve been able to learn so much because of that."

"This roadmap approach has made it so clear how to prioritize my next steps—it’s exactly what I needed."

"The templates and examples you shared made it so much easier to tackle something that initially felt overwhelming."
It’s not a cheat sheet or a bigger budget. It’s having someone who’s done it before to guide you — and help turn every action into a calculated step toward real growth.
Creating Forward is a community of beauty, wellness and lifestyle founders and brands who are launching, growing and scaling their businesses with structured, high-touch, expert-level mentorship and implementation support.

Not Consulting, Not DIY - This Is Done WITH You Partnership
let's talk business
- Co-creation + strategic thought partnership
- Execution + implementation support
- Streamlined systems, structure + prioritization
The brand and the marketing are almost a given. The game-changer for founders in my mentorship containers is that I keep them moving forward, right when they would usually get stuck:
Yes, I’m Really Good At Marketing But...
I know that more advice and more ideas will just add to your overwhelm. Here, we are “creating forward”, and we’re implementing things together.
This means we create strategies, but then we take action, we embrace “test, learn, evolve” energy and we maintain momentum.
Not Consulting, Not DIY - This Is Done WITH You Partnership
When we feel supported and in control we can grow.
I help founders implement structure, with workflows, systems, templates, and GPT guides to accelerate their productivity and better manage their business so that they are set up to scale without overthinking every single thing.
Leveraging AI & Structured Systems
Being a founder is not, not a mindset game.
I believe that to show up for your business, you have to show up for yourself so while we’re here getting things done, we’re also consciously moving through all the things that block your path and anchoring in confidence building practices.

You’ve proven yourself and even have a marketing lead now, but you know you have big gaps to fill before you get to the next level.
Pre-launch brands that haven’t got a clear vision, or created/tested their product yet.
Founders looking for an agency to “do it for them” (this is a guided mentorship, not a done-for-you).

How to Decide Between Core & CMO
the CMO Suite is for you
Choose the level of access that matches your style of support.

Both tiers get my eyes and strategy, the CMO Suite gives you private time, personalized feedback, and hands-on co-creation with me.
If you’re the kind of founder who wants to collaborate directly with me as your strategic CMO thought partner, with a double the private 1:1 mentorship sessions, a 1:1 chat channel for back-and-forth collaboration, and unlimited material reviews.

who This is NOT for
the creating forward founder evolution
These are the types of founders who are the best fit for The Incubator.
You’ve gone all in, you’ve gotten traction, people think you’re bigger than you are but you know you’re leaving money on the table.
You’ve proven yourself and even have a marketing lead now, but you know you have big gaps to fill before you get to the next level.
Pre-launch brands that haven’t got a clear vision, or created/tested their product yet.
Founders looking for an agency to “do it for them” (this is a guided mentorship, not a done-for-you).
Businesses that aren’t ready to invest time and energy into their brand credibility.

You’ve got a product, you want to be taken seriously, but you know it won’t happen if you keep playing small with DIY and guesswork.
We'll talk about your business and goals, then I’ll offer insights to help build your brand and enhance your marketing.
If it feels aligned, we’ll talk about working together. If not, you’ll still walk away with value and will be a part of my Founder community, which means you’ll be on my radar for partnership opps and be invited to events.
START YOUR JOURNEY
THE SUPERCHARGED STRATEGY SESSION
This isn't a DIY course, or DIY anything. It's done with you.
The Incubator is designed for those who want a cohesive brand message, a demand-driven marketing engine, a clear roadmap, and systems that set them up for success—with a mentor who’s in it with them every step of the way.
Both tiers are a hybrid of 1:1 mentorship and group coaching, and both include access to my mentorship framework, expert feedback, AI-powered tools, and a tight-knit founder community.

How to Decide Between Core and CMO

the CMO Suite is for you
Choose the level of access that matches your style of support.
Core Access is the right fit for you
If you’re more of a “point me in the right direction and let me run with it” founder, and you want structured strategy, group mentorship, and a chance to submit your work for remote feedback with lighter 1:1 access to Sax with 3 materials reviews.
Both tiers get my eyes and strategy, the CMO Suite gives you private time, personalized feedback, and hands-on co-creation with me.

FAQ'S
Yes!! I’m the guide your entire way, but peer to peer learning is so valuable as a founder, and is an incredible way to get external perspective.
Can we troubleshoot with others in a group setting?
Yes, for sure, I can walk you through the plan in even more detail during your Supercharged Strategy Session.
Can I get the full breakdown of the training and everything that is included?
Both options have 1:1 access - this is NOT a DIY course and I am invested in your success.
How much access do we have to you and what does that look like?
CMO-Suite Private Mentorship Tier:
I’m your strategic partner and wingwoman throughout the entire journey. You’ll get a private 1:1 chat for voice notes, emails, and updates—plus personalized material reviews (think website copy, email flows, content plans—whatever you're working on). We’ll have 1:1 strategy sessions, deep work calls, and co-creation time, along with full access to everything included in the group Core Access tier.
Core Access Tier:
You still get me as your strategic thought partner, just in a group setting. This includes two 1:1 strategy and deep work sessions, live group mentorship with hot seats and real-time audits, and direct access to me in the Open Studio group chat during office hours.
Yes!! We implement, execute and take action together from the get go. I call this Creating Forward. Strategy is gold, but only when it’s put into action. My role is to keep you in momentum and making sure that every action is a calculated (but not over thinking) step toward your goals.
Does this include implementation or is it just strategy?
No worries, my systems are all founder-first and user-friendly. And if you’re having any blocks, we’ll work through them together 😊

- You've been circling around your Q4 strategy for weeks: saving posts, listening to BFCM podcasts, making notes, telling yourself "this is the year."
- You know exactly where you want to be by December 31st—the sales, the recognition, the momentum heading into next year.
- But something keeps getting in the way of actually executing the vision you have?
