Jennifer Benz, Chief Strategist and Founder

Jennifer Benz has a passion for getting people to go to great lengths—for themselves. Her mission in consulting, as in life, is to empower people to become their best. And when employees take advantage of health care, wellness, and financial plans, they can’t help but better themselves. More

Isabelle Englund-Geiger, Creative Director

“I see design as just one small part of a larger business picture. I have a knack for seeing that picture really well, zooming in super close, and then backing out again.”

When in doubt, ask Isabelle. We’ve spent the past few years doing so, benefiting from her insightful creative guidance in the process. More

Carolyn Grimsic, Lead Consultant and Writer

“Although I’m in the business of crafting ideas and words, I’m also into the numbers—the results. At the end of a campaign, I’m always asking, ‘How many people contributed to the 401(k)? Picked the right health plan? Participated in wellness screenings?’ That’s how I know I’ve done my job.” More

Kathy Renger, Lead Consultant and Writer

Kathy Renger has a talent for finding connections between people—and then making them stronger. She has spent more than 15 years helping to build better connections between organizations and their employees. And between employees and their benefits, connecting people with information that helps them make smarter choices about their health care and spending. More

Liz Webler Rowell, Lead Consultant and Writer

“Much like foreign countries, benefits programs have their own vocabulary. Employees only have time to take short trips to benefits-land. Instead of making them learn a new language, I think good communication can translate it.” More

Leslie Orellana, Lead Consultant

“I get excited when we make all the “stuff” employees really care about easy for them. Employees can focus on what they need to do to drive the business forward—instead of worrying about how to fill out a form. And they appreciate even more what their company is doing for them.” More

Cynthia Phoel, Lead Consultant and Writer

“I’ve absolutely loved the opportunities I’ve had to work directly with employee audiences. It’s great to know, as someone grapples with choosing between two retirement choices, that this work is enormously important to people’s lives.” More

Caroline Lowry, Senior Project Manager

“I’m happy to be part of a team that lets folks know what they can do for themselves regarding health, saving for their futures, and taking care of their families.” More

Kristin Thompson, Client and Project Coordinator

“I tend to become a one-stop-shop for random things that must be done, and people are always surprised by how well I handle it all.” More

Petra Andersson-Pardini, Art Director and Graphic Designer

“I see every new project as a challenge; I love reaching a target audience through visuals.” More

Trish Murphy, Interactive Designer

“I create sites that balance entertainment and information. I love making design that moves.” More
