In this episode of the Jane Anderson Show, I'm so amazed to get to interview an exceptional lady, Melissa Lithgow. 
Where some are left or right-brained thinkers, Melissa Lithgow is a hybrid. As a strategic marketer, she loves structure and strategy, yet she's big on aesthetics and creativity. While she prides herself on impeccable organisation, it's her vivacious energy and genuine care to support others in achieving success that underpins her service.
For her clients, this means results-based strategies, which outlast fads and create authentic brand followers.
Too often, she sees small business owners trapped in inaction because of fear and overwhelm. The little action they do take is task driven instead of strategy driven, getting them nowhere slowly.

That's where she comes in.
Based in Perth, Australia, Mel is focused on delivering a premium consulting service to medium-sized businesses and C-suite decision-makers to achieve long-term growth and improve the bottom dollar.

When working with her, she takes her clients beyond the day-to-day operations where most business owners get stuck to operating in blue ocean thinking.
She has a proven track record consulting across a multitude of industries. She's worked with brands like BHP, KPMG, Caterpillar, and Alta-1 and successfully rolled out large-scale:



Sales & marketing strategies
Strategic sales & marketing operations
People management initiatives
Effective internal & external communications


Access to her expertise is available through:

Coaching
Strategy Development
VIP days
Training & Facilitation

Her clients go from frustrated & overwhelmed to confident & excited with a clear pathway toward the future they desire.
