Company Detail:
Write Connections is a strategy and design firm that works with businesses, municipalities, and nonprofits to fulfill their marketing and strategic consulting needs. The firm is unique in offering a full menu of marketing and graphic design services (web hosting/building, social media management, graphic design, promotional items, etc.) along with strategic services including executive coaching, GallupStrength coaching, strategic planning, DEI consulting, and customized training..
Unique Selling Proposition or Competitive Advantage:
Write Connections is an all-female design team that focuses on building relationships and providing top-notch customer service. While many firms tout their customer service, this firm lives it. Clients not only retain its services but also continue to collaborate on advancing their organizational needs. Everything is created uniquely for each client—nothing is canned or dialed in.
Challenges Faced During the Journey:
The firm was established in October 2019, and by February 2020, the world shut down. It had to pivot and find new ways to serve and attract clients. Its dedication to relationship-building enabled it to grow even when other businesses were struggling. Without advertising or employing project/sales managers, the firm has expanded across the United States solely through its reputation and word of mouth.
Advice for Women Entrepreneurs:
Jess Koscher recommends staying fluid and open to learning—both in challenging times and during success. She emphasizes the importance of cultivating a strong network and continuously growing it. Being a good partner who leans in, contributes, and seeks advice is key. She also encourages taking the time to listen and engage with others, regardless of how successful one becomes.
