AH Strategic Marketing

I work with professionals and entrepreneurs, startups and growing companies, firms and agencies to devise marketing strategies that communicate their value and convey their insights clearly and concisely. Through traditional and digital media, email outreach and relatable content, I help clients strengthen relationships, raise their profiles, expand their audience, engage influencers and develop strategic partnerships.

Using a customer-first approach and editorial style, I tap into the emotion and story that surrounds every situation, every service, every product. Every initiative is designed to connect with customers, clients and fans in order to develop business. 

I can supplement an existing marketing team, manage projects end-to-end or provide marketing support in areas that will make the most impact. 

About Me

Ann heatherington, principal

Over the last 15 years, I've developed a broad base of experience, including high-end conference production, technology sales, Fortune 500 business development and law firm marketing.

My foundation is in the arts. I double-majored in creative writing and theatre at Northwestern University, and I continue to write and produce.  

Along my journey, I've cultivated five key skills that apply to everything I do, namely: getting messages across, bringing people on board, cutting to the chase, putting out fires and herding cats. 

Speaking of - I'm a proud mom to 3 rescue cats, Buddy, Buster and Simon. I care about climate change, wildlife conservation and women’s rights. I’m fanatical about chocolate, beautiful beaches, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
