The marketing scene can be very competitive and cutthroat; in order to thrive, one has to be ambitious, driven, and strategic. Possessing these qualities and more, branding expert Annie Wardle has risen to the top of the industry.
The inspiring woman has an extensive career in the field, marketing for big companies in different sectors. She has previously worked as the Director of Marketing and Advertising for the largest privately owned eye care company in Colorado. Additionally, she was the Director of Hospitality for a well-known celebrity gifting suite in the entertainment industry.
Because of her vast experience, the determined individual has gained immense knowledge and skillsets, including branding, online marketing, social media, search engine optimization, and sales. Aside from that, she has learned the invaluable skills of personal and business branding, PR, and how to make yourself stand out as a leader in multiple industries.
At the same time, the jobs mentioned above have allowed the hard-working professional to rub elbows and befriend prominent personalities and influential people. Her impressive network includes company stakeholders, executives, business owners, and celebrities.
Seeing the endless opportunities she can do with her knowledge and experience, Annie Wardle took on an ambitious goal—creating her brand and scaling it. So she proceeded to create Talk Out Loud, a marketing consulting agency. The venture’s primary mission is to help businesses grow their brands with customer acquisition through branding and digital marketing.
When asked about what makes her brand different, she confidently shared, “We teach you how to be a leader in your industry by using the power of your brand. I feel like other marketers tend to be very salesy and make businesses feel like their entire business will fail without them. I want my clients to feel like they are empowered if they choose to work with us or give them something tangible to can implement on their own if they choose to move on without us.”
Apart from her unmatched expertise in marketing and extraordinary connections, what separates the entrepreneur from the competition is her ability to learn and adapt quickly. In addition, she has a great attitude that considers past failures, course changes, and close calls as great learning experiences. It is this awe-inspiring mentality that has shaped her to become a successful business owner.
When she is not busy growing her enterprise, Annie Wardle devotes her time to meaningful and fulfilling activities. She is working with several nonprofit organizations and is the Director of Marketing on the Board of Directors for the HardBeauty Foundation. She also serves on the Women Build Committee for Habitat for Humanity.
On top of that, she is a loving mother to her three children, who have their own businesses. So not only is she a marketing expert that caters to big ventures and corporations, but she is also a great mentor to her “kidpreneurs” by helping them build successful brands.
In the future, the businesswoman sees herself continuing to share her knowledge and helping more companies. For her latest venture, she is building a new branding agency that focuses on the construction and home repair/improvement industry. So individuals and organizations in that sector should be on the lookout as the business is set to be operational very soon.
