Transforming Overlooked Excellence into Celebrated Success
In a world where your competitors are only a click away, standing out is more than a goal—it’s a necessity. Yet, many passionate service providers find themselves in an all-too-common predicament: despite offering superior, impactful services, they remain the best-kept secrets of their industries. This invisibility isn’t just frustrating; it’s a barrier to the growth and recognition your business deserves.
You’ve felt the sting of being overlooked, watching potential clients choose lesser alternatives simply because those alternatives market themselves more effectively. You know your service can make a real difference in people’s lives—if only they knew just how much more value you offer.
I see this not just as a challenge, but as an opportunity. An opportunity to turn your hidden gems into public triumphs, ensuring your voice isn’t just heard, but is influential. Through strategic branding that bridges creativity with commerce, we transform the undervalued into the indispensable. We help you elevate your brand from just another option to the preferred choice, making sure that your market not only sees you but prefers you.
Global Perspectives for Local Success
My name is Elizabeth Andersen. Over the past 12+ years, I’ve brought my expertise to projects around the world, from an international collaboration in Finland to expanding a German software company into the U.S. market to consulting with some of the top names in their industries. These experiences have enriched my strategic perspective, allowing me to bring global insights to local and regional businesses. However, my true passion lies in forging deep connections with local and regional service businesses—those committed to making a significant impact in their communities.
Crafting Connections That Count
Each client’s story is unique, but the thread that binds them is universal—the desire to make a meaningful impact. I have had the privilege of transforming the way local service providers connect with their communities, turning functional relationships into emotional bonds that drive loyalty and advocacy. By tapping into the very heart of what makes each service special, I help businesses not just sell, but connect deeply, turning every interaction into an opportunity for growth and engagement.

Lovely Client Notes
I have been fortunate to work with some amazing clients. I’m so grateful for their kind words and for their commitment to the process.
“I really love the new site!”
“The whole process and the end result was great. I mean, I really love the new site. You guys really listened to us. That’s what I liked. I felt like you really got to know us. And then obviously we provided some visions, but you guys really took it from there and made it what it is. And that’s what made it worthwhile with you guys. I didn’t have any problem writing the final check to you.”
“It’s working!!!”
“Hi, I hope all is well with you! I wanted to let you know I had 5 clients yesterday and during the night 2 new clients booked online. My new website is working!!!”
“You handled everything, making it look and sound professional—exactly how I wanted it to be.”
“Working through the branding process with you has really sharpened my focus and given me a chance to carve out a distinct spot in the market for our services. It’s been a strategic shift, helping me to be more deliberate about the projects we take on to reinforce our new brand identity and business goals.“
“Now I am ready to step into the market confidently as a leader with a brand I am proud of.”
“Before working with Counterpart, I struggled with defining my niche and differentiating myself in a crowded market. Elizabeth and her team helped me clarify my brand message and create a website that truly reflects my unique value. Now, I no longer feel the need to offer free services to attract clients. Instead, I step into the market confidently as a leader with a brand I am proud of.”
“You could not have said that anymore perfectly. I think I want to cry.”
“You are truly amazing! Our new purpose statement is so sweet and beautiful!!! You could not have said that anymore perfectly. I think I want to cry. I think I am going to make this as a poster for all the staff to read everyday.”
“The creation of our brand was beyond my expectations.”
“Working with Counterpart has been such a wonderful and joyful experience! I am particularly impressed with Elizabeth’s ability to listen carefully, and ask such insightful and clarifying questions. In many ways, she has ‘heard’ our non-profit organization into a better place of understanding ourselves and the impact we hope to make. The creation of our brand was beyond my expectations.“
