THE NAME.

Let's start with the traits of a lioness...they are curious and problem-solvers.  Lionesses are known for strength, strategy, and creating opportunities where there might not be otherwise.  They hunt...they are fast...and they utilize precision and teamwork.  Lionesses are pivotal for the prosperity of the pride, and in actuality, they run the pride - they organize, operate, and execute what needs to happen for the pride to thrive as a community.  They are nocturnal in nature and exhibit courage, energy, dignity, loyalty, gracefulness, agility, and influence.  Lionesses are quiet, noble, honest, and warm-hearted...they know that they can radiate personal power and confidence and they are exceptional leaders utilizing these skills.  They are not in the forefront - they put you in the forefront...and this describes us perfectly as our success is you succeeding.

The word CREATIVE was going to be in our name no matter what...because we are.  Reality is that the name chose us.  Founder, Amy L Nash, has a strong background in sustainability as well as an interest in animal traits and characteristics.  In March of 2019, she committed to doing empowered women posts for the month to honor international women's day.  Many of the memes had lionesses and they were very well received.  So, when the time came to select a name for the business, the flip happened and the name chose the business.  Lioness Creative, LLC was born.

Music:  "Lioness" by  Beckah Shae

IMPACT(s) (syn.):  result, effect, influence, metric, revenue, outcome...Our goal is to make some!

This video is an introduction to who we are and what we can do.  Our niche is in the strategy arena and processing complicated things in a simple way to get results...and we pair that with all things creative to communicate that.  Elements of marketing, messaging, storytelling, graphics, etc. are just part of the process.  What you do with the strategy personally, in the organization, operations, process, programs, and projects...that is the magic.  We list a number of things in the video, but opportunity exists in the spaces between as well...open for innovation...CREATIVE, AGILE, & IMPACTING!

​Don’t think outside the box…think as if THERE IS NO BOX!"

WHAT WE DO.

This may sound simple, but WE LISTEN...ACTIVELY LISTEN!  We begin by listening and asking questions.  We want to understand what you are working on, where you desire to go, what is working against you, and what is the opportunity that lies beneath that.  This is applicable at all scales from an individual, to a business, to a nonprofit, to a social venture...and other areas from teams, to neighborhoods, to communities. 

We process in the moment and we start the creative strategy process to find multiple ways to handle the immediate needs or "pain points as well as the long-term needs.  This is like a whiteboard session that can involve an actual whiteboard or can be conversational.  We then collaborate with you on a path and define the work, measureables, timeline, etc project management style.  

The best part is WITHIN the process and the agility built in to help open doors of opportunity with multiple solutions.  In the scheme of marketing, this means a great deal of content.  In the scheme of organizational development, this means finding efficiencies that tie your metrics to your mission from many angles.  In the scheme of people, we help you process, ideate, build, grow, and move forward.  This is messy exploration to action and we are comfortable with the messiness because we are making the process less overwhelming and instead taking things from chaos to calm or idea to implementation in a way that is empowering and exciting...it's creative.  

We have a unique background of understanding, education, experience, and practice to CREATE with a blend of:
SOCIOLOGY - ECOLOGY - ECONOMICS - DESIGN - ENTREPRENEURIAL - RESILIENCE - and ALL THINGS CREATIVE

​WHERE WE LIVE & WORK.

We live and work in lovely Fargo, North Dakota.  We have a keen understanding of our community because we are engaged in the community.  We also have expertise in communities of all sizes and scales from the standpoint of experience.  We have been involved (and lived) in rural America and we have been involved and engaged in urban areas (and inner-cities) on both coasts we well as in the midwest and a non-continental state.  We utilize technology and can arrange for sessions online and will travel for projects as well.  There are few boundaries that can contain our ability to serve you or your organization well.

WHY WE DO THE WORK WE DO.

We often see a dichotomy that exists between the right brained and the left brained people and we are thankful that we have the skills and abilities to do both creative and analytical things.  We are thinkers and designers; therefore we are able to come up with things others can't and we have fun doing it.  We are also evaluators and metric-focused; therefore, we are looking for ways to ensure things are working and working incredibly well.  THESE ARE GIFTS (strengths/talents)...we we are using our gifts to make a difference...to make an IMPACT.  SO...if you are creative, you must use the creativity...if you are strategic, you must use this gift.   If you are both, YOU CREATE THE SPACE, THE CONVERSATION, THE COLLABORATION...and the ACTION!  That is what we do...We do the work we do, because we can!
