Naming / Strategy
Jenny is Ah-MAAAAA-Zing!!!! Her personality, her professionalism, her ability to help you be YOU through your company is...WOW! I would definitely recommend her! She did a brand read for my company concerning social media. Let’s just say I can deal with social media with a lot more ease! To be clear, it’s not less work. But it’s definitely been working better! Thank you Jenny! Salutes to the Queen!!!!

Brand Audit / Consultation
Jenny and Purée Fantastico gave me more than just design—they gave me a language for my brand when all I had was noise and static. Jenny has a gift for tuning into the heart of your vision, even when you’re struggling to articulate it yourself. She immediately understood where I was feeling stuck and offered a clear, thoughtful framework that made everything click into place. Thanks to her, I now have a brand that feels both authentic and compelling, with a direction I feel confident moving forward in.

Brand Strategy
Jenny Ambrose is a powerhouse. As a mentor, she is a bundle of joy, empathy and sass. Her no-bullshit approach is refreshing, and you really do get the real deal. Jenny brings with her so many skills from such a varied background, and she brings everything to the table to create a truly unique, creative and safe environment for your circumstances. Jenny is beyond encouraging and the way she uses her creativity in sessions ensure there’s never a dull moment! Jenny pulls from such a range of experience, shows you opportunities you didn’t know existed, and gives you the never to feel the fear and do it anyway! If you work with Jenny, you’ll laugh, you’ll cry (joyful tears) and you’ll end the call feeling transformed - that right there is the magic of Jenny Ambrose.
