Market Your Brand Effortlessly with Washington, DC’s Marketing Coach
Kristin Lawton

Welcome to District Brand Bar, your go-to destination for mixing the perfect blend of brand and marketing strategy. Based in Washington, DC, and serving entrepreneurs and online businesses virtually across the country, I specialize in providing the expertise, coaching, and accountability you need to succeed.

Are you overwhelmed by the complexities of marketing your brand? Perhaps you've launched without a clear strategy, or maybe your business has evolved, and your brand hasn't kept pace. Either way, you're not alone. Many small business owners find themselves in the same cocktail shaker, stirring aimlessly and not getting the traction they need for real growth.

It's time to stop the cycle. With my expertise, we'll craft a brand and marketing strategy that aligns with your business goals, freeing you to focus on what you do best.

Your Tailored Framework: Become a Marketing Mixologist

Think of crafting a brand and marketing strategy like mixing the perfect cocktail. It's both an art and a science, and as your marketing coach, I guide you through the marketing mixology process. Our work together is tailored to your unique business needs, focusing on what truly matters. We'll explore three key stages to refine and define your brand's unique flavor.

Crafting Your Brand's Distinct Flavor

Your brand's essence sets the tone for everything you do. Together, we'll conduct a comprehensive brand and marketing audit to understand the story you want to tell and how you're currently showing up online. Then, we'll strategize on refreshing your brand identity, messaging, and client journey to align with your business goals.

Mixing Daily Success with Strategy

Next, I'll guide you in setting up your operational 'mise-en-place,' helping you establish routines that align with your brand's goals. We'll also look at optimizing your marketing channels for effectiveness and efficiency, setting up systems and routines that make your marketing efforts feel almost effortless.

Elevating Your Brand to New Heights

Finally, we'll explore the secret ingredients that can transform your marketing from memorable to legendary. I'll coach you on fine-tuning your routines for a larger impact and guide you through scaling your business with new strategies.

Your Marketing COach, Kristin Lawton

Hi! I’m your brand and marketing expert, consultant and coach, Kristin Lawton!

With over 20 years in the game, I've got the experience to guide you through the ever-changing landscape of branding and marketing. And while I'm not a DC native, I've been calling this vibrant city home for the past 20 years!

But enough about me, let's talk about you and your unique business needs. Whether you're a solo entrepreneur or a small business owner, I'm here to craft a marketing recipe that's as unique as you are. Because let's face it, no two businesses are the same, and neither should their marketing strategies be.

Starting my own business was a cocktail of emotions—exciting but also overwhelming. I had all the ingredients: the know-how in website development, social media, branding, you name it. But mixing them together without the big team and budget I was used to? That was a whole new challenge.

I've navigated those challenges and come out the other side, and now I'm here to guide you through your own journey. So, if you're ready to take your marketing from a basic brew to a top-shelf masterpiece, let's get shaking!

“I’ve enjoyed working with Kristin 1:1 on my branding and marketing. Kristin met my needs for support by providing a brand and marketing framework to understand better my business, my clients, and my marketing channels and creating a strategy that fits the time I’m willing to allocate to my business so I don’t constantly feel guilty about not doing enough marketing. It’s exciting to have an actionable plan that uniquely fits me and my business and feels good as I’m employing it!”
