Blended Collective, LLC

Lydia was wonderful to work with on my business goals! She helped me to clarify our vision and our messaging and I was so appreciative of the time that she took to really listen and turn it into something tangible rather than just telling us we need to be running ads for months and months in order to see any return on our investment. I would highly recommend Lydia and Blended Collective to anyone who is feeling a little lost with their business.

I worked with Lydia Micheal to refresh, rebrand and refocus my business website to my ideal clients and services and she was amazing at really "getting" me and my business in a short amount of time. She helped me tremendously - strategically to position my unique brand and coaching services, and tactically in reviewing and editing my website and marketing message. I've worked with many branding/marketing consultants and Lydia did more for me than any of them in getting my authentic message clear and impactful and out there on my site. Highly reccomend!

Lydia Michael at Blended Collective brought structure, clarity, and sharp strategic insight to our branding and positioning work while still respecting that the final direction needed to remain ours as founders. Overall, we had an excellent experience working with her through the Oakland Thrive grant program. Through focused brainstorming and guided exercises, she helped us expand our creativity, test out ideas, sharpen our language, and come to a consensus on outcomes that were both marketable and authentic to our long-term vision. During our engagements, we finalized a new flagship product name, VeloxiTuner, and rebranded one of our subsidiaries from Extracurricular Engineering Solutions to doing business as MindFuel Engineering. Both outcomes were meaningful, durable decisions that we are confident moving forward with. Lydia is thoughtful, efficient, and genuinely collaborative. She listens first, challenges with thoughtfulness, and adds value without pushing cookie-cutter branding solutions. We would absolutely recommend her to other founders and small businesses looking for strategic marketing guidance that respects technical depth and founder intent. -Co-Founders at Curriculars, LLC & Extracurriculars, LLC
