Sweet Retreat Guesthouse & Sugarworks in Northfield, VT is a prime example of a multi-faceted business.

Pam Knights has had the pleasure of working with the Morvan’s for many years to pull it all together and build their highly successful Sweet Retreat brand. PKC recently completed their new website and maple syrup jug labels.

Branding is What You Are

Marketing is What You Do to Promote Your Brand

For promotional planning to be truly effective, brand identity work should precede your marketing efforts. Think of brand development as the cornerstone of your marketing communications, just as your website is the online hub for your business.

My initial contact with Pam Knights centered around my desire to have a functional website. I was unaware at that time that Pam’s talents extend to all aspects of launching a successful business. After a visit to Contrary’s Whey, she chose the best features of the farm, the product, and myself to create a logo, website, messaging platform and promotional material with incredible attention to detail. The colors and design of the logo, the business cards and postcards are all beautiful. Pam arranged my thoughts into truly poetic script that conveys all aspects of what my product offers. She made my goat milk soap stand out, and her marketing skills really helped promote my product. She addressed all of my needs while remaining attentive to my financial constraints. Pam is honest, knows her business, and will work with you until you achieve your goals. Her communications skills are superb, and every time I package a bar of soap I have Pam to thank for getting my product to the public.
