“I highly recommend Vicky to anyone seeking an exceptional partner in customer education. Her expertise in aligning on strategy, building out a plan, and helping us execute with clear and actionable feedback was incredible for our team. Her passion shines through and she was truly just a joy to work with. She’s also been vested in how our courses are performing, long after our engagement with her is over. I cannot say enough good things about Vicky!"

What makes us different?
We’re not a generic content shop or a one-note agency. We’ve walked the walk repeatedly and consistently, for both small companies and large enterprises, in multiple industries. We’ve worn the practitioner, product developer, and executive hat, more than once.
Education doesn’t follow a step-by-step playbook. It requires strategic expertise in navigating the nuances of a business’ needs, its learners, and proprietary offerings. This is our specialty, and why we’re the only Strategic Education Firm.
