    Need to reach a new audience, dominate your local market, launch a new brand, or finally see real results after empty promises from past consultants? That’s where I come in.

    Brand storytelling is my business — and my passion. I help clients identify and engage their ideal audiences, craft authentic visual and written narratives, and execute marketing strategies that elevate visibility and drive results.

    For over 20 years, I’ve partnered with companies and government entities to achieve a wide range of goals: expanding digital visibility, community outreach, increasing social media audiences, launching brands, and refining brand presentation for acquisitions or sales.

    Your story deserves to be heard; I’ll make sure the right people are listening.

    Specialties: Provide strategic and creative design counsel and execution for marketing and communications agencies, served as art director for major publication redesigns, created direct mail promotion for numerous political campaigns, and fundraising for non-profits.

      Sue Hoffman Designs
      New York, NY
      Oct 1998 - Present (27 years 8 months)
      The NYC design and marketing scene is as fast paced and crowded as the city itself, so communication has to be sharp and targeted to cut through and reach the correct audience. As the hands-on creative leader of Sue Hoffman Designs, I create high-quality, targeted marketing materials. Using systems that tap into my substantial background in both graphic design and business, not only do I create effective, unique creative solutions, but I also understand the importance of deadlines, efficiency, and good communication between the agency, clients, and vendors.

      • Utilize strategic marketing insight and creative leadership to develop compelling brand identities and visual narratives.

      • Lead end-to-end concept development and creative production across digital, print, experiential, and social media platforms.

      • Manage all aspects of creative operations, including cross-functional team leadership, budget oversight, and project management.

      • Served as consulting art director for redesigns of PR Week, Florida Home & Garden, and In & Around Bergen County.

      • Encourage fundraising and increase program participation for non-profits and government agencies, including: Town of Rye, Boys & Girls Club, Safe Horizons, NYC.gov, Public Health Solutions, Women’s Chamber of Nevada, Peninsula Counseling, Brighton Beach BID, and Philadelphia Water
