Creator/CEO, Transformation Tool Kit

Amy’s process helped me brand my practice, while it expanded me and supported me in ways I could never have imagined possible. Even though in the beginning I was Very Resistant to creating a Brand - and a Website - she encouraged me to just be willing to step outside my comfort zone. All while gently asking intuitive questions that caught my attention. As a result my website is so beautifully representative of me! And my counseling practice is flourishing with opportunities that are answered prayer.

I learned to trust it - to allow the process to carry me on a journey of self-discovery that still has me delighted a year after our work together! I learned that my resistance had no dominion over me, and Amy’s gentle explorations helped me identify who I am and how my way of working provides a valuable service for others. I am forever grateful!

Most companies and persons already have a swathe of valuable assets, including intellectual. The Fruitioning process is about tapping into these assets "spiritually", cultivating and synchronizing them, and unleashing this harvest as innovative and disruptive solutions to already "solved" business sectors.

"Fruitioning" strategically cultivated my business leadership and acumen, and gave me the confidence to stand behind my "firsts" as a subject matter and knowledge expert in cutting edge media technologies.

Regardless of what stage you are in for your project or business, if you want to go world class and go big, go to Amy. Amy is a brilliant strategist, coach, and mentor who knows her sh**. She's helped remove some walls that were holding me back from delivering the best I can and has helped me think bigger. Through her Fruitioning process, not only did I complete a couple of projects, but I gained some new skills and an elevated mindset along the way. One thing I really respect about Amy is her honesty - she will make sure there are no gaps and if something can be executed better, she will not only point it out, she will make sure there is a lesson learned to elevate your skillset. Thank you Amy!!!

JEFF STELMACH

President, Opus Agency

Let me start by saying Amy Blackman is one of the smartest, intuitive and innovative strategic marketers I have ever worked with. In our work together I witnessed how her fact based approach combined with a refusal to accept the easy answer produced unique and effective solutions to difficult client issues. Now with the launch of Fruition, Amy has honed her approach into a success system that will bring consistent and highly valuable solutions to any business’s toughest opportunities.

Amy is great at making you look at a problem or task with a new perspective. - undressing it and putting it back together again in a way that makes the solution seem obvious. She injects energy and is a catalyst for ideas.

Amy Blackman is one of the most unique, high energy and smartest people that I have ever met. Her attitude and approach to business is very inspiring and that breath of fresh air feeling that makes you want to come back for more. Her knowledge and appetite to know more about "YOU" not only as client, but as an individual will help you through good times and bad times. She will always have your back.

Would Strategic Marketing Be Worth The Money?

I can confirm that it definitely was when it came to using Amy and Fruition Co .

Amy’s creation and presentation of our annual marketing campaign was delivered in concise chunks that were easy to absorb. The structure was clear, logical and effective. Amy had obviously put a lot of thought and expertise into designing our upcoming messaging.

But it wasn’t just about the new knowledge. The main benefits came from doing personal presentations to our clients and interacting with the CVB staff, board members,  city officials and other participants.

Amy’s thought provoking trends and format gave our organization the confidence to implement a ground breaking message to our industry through her case study of our product.   We didn’t just learn “how” to communicate our vision of the future trends within our industry but the – “what” and “why” also became much clearer.

My engagement with Fruition has been an awesome experience with terrific results. Working with Amy and her team is a joy. Amy brings a structural academic experience to a creative process which allows her to be both highly strategic and creative.

Marion Feigenbaum

Senior Vice President, Executive Programs,
The Conference Board

Imagine a room of 100+meeting experts with vast experience. We put Amy in front of just such a group, presenting on the future of meetings and we actually saw their minds being changed and opened up to new ideas – in real time! She had them eating out of her hand. Amy was mobbed afterwards by so many who wanted to pick her brain and she was incredibly generous and approachable. They came away hungry for more of her wisdom and a desire to radically rethink and improve their members’ convening experience.

How do you get world-class creativity and breakthrough strategy together at the same time?  You have a superb thinker like Amy take you through a robust, fact-based process like Fruitioning.  But be forewarned – if you want to stay in your comfort zone and just scratch something off your To-Do List -- look elsewhere.  But if you want a true partner who will honestly and openly challenge you and your team and push them to achieve things they didn’t realize they could, then you’ve come to the right place.

George Mandella

Producer,
The Hettema Group

Many of our creative projects begin with a blue-sky phase where we explore the limitless possibilities of the challenges that our clients present. When we decided that it would be valuable to apply that mindset to the opportunities within our own business, we asked Amy to lead the effort. Amy took a deep-dive into our industry and proceeded to explore all the implications of how our skills and capabilities could be applied in broader and more diverse contexts than we had originally anticipated. She distilled her findings into a resource that we continue to mine for unique insights and strategic direction.
