What Happens When Your Purpose Goes Unspoken?


Don’t Let Your Purpose Get Lost in Translation

Your purpose in this world is too important to go unnoticed.Entrepreneurs and natural leaders like you deserve branding that not only tells your story, but also communicates why you exist beyond profit, embodies your values and passion, attracts true believers, and inspires action that makes a difference.What you do matters.But without clear, purpose-led messaging and storytelling that makes people feel connected to what you stand for, your vision risks staying unseen—leaving you playing small when you’re meant for greater visibility, influence, and impact.

  • When your message isn’t clear, your audience can’t see what sets you apart—no matter how much heart and passion you put into your work.

  • Deep down, you start to feel frustrated, second-guessing how to express your value and wondering why it isn’t landing.

  • And the hardest part? Your mission isn’t making the impact you know it’s capable of, which means the people who need your work most may never find it.

Because when your story feels scattered or inconsistent, trust is harder to build. And without trust, your brilliance risks being overlooked by the very people you’re here to serve.


Your Trusted Ally in Making Your Purpose & Mission Matter


Helping Your Purpose & Mission Be Heard & Felt

Bio photo of Tess Zevenbergen

Hi, I'm Tess Zevenbergen, founder of Pronoia Communications.

I believe women entrepreneurs and leaders create their most meaningful impact when they're deeply connected to their purpose and can articulate it with clarity and confidence.Yet I've seen how often that purpose feels too abstract, personal, or vulnerable to express—leaving talented women unsure how to translate what drives them into the foundation of their brand.I know this struggle intimately.My own purpose became clearer during a difficult life transition, when I felt disconnected from what mattered most. It was then I realized that clarity in early-stage business building doesn't come from tactics or trends—it comes from understanding and expressing why you and your business exist and the impact you're here to make.That insight became the foundation of Pronoia Communications. The name itself means "the belief that the universe is working in your favour"—and I believe your brand should too.Here's what I've learned: Your audience needs to understand not just what you do or how you do it, but why it matters. Too often, entrepreneurs pour their energy into products and services while overlooking the strategic brand foundation that makes their message emotionally resonate—things like positioning, differentiation, and purpose-driven storytelling.That's where I come in.With over a decade of experience in strategic communications and branding, I guide early-stage women entrepreneurs to clarify their brand, craft authentic messaging, and share stories that connect, inspire action, and create meaningful impact beyond profit.But I don't stop at strategy. I integrate brand performance and impact measurement, ensuring your brand doesn't just look good on paper—it works with purpose to drive real change in your business, your community, and the world.Pronoia exists to empower women to step into their purpose, bring their brand story to life, and build businesses that matter beyond profit. When a brand is rooted in purpose, everything becomes more aligned, intuitive, and authentic to the person behind it—and the impact they create naturally expands.I envision a future where women confidently own their purpose, share and amplify their stories with courage, and build brands that make the world better, one intentional and purpose-driven decision at a time.You bring the purpose. Together, we'll amplify it for impact.

Frequently Asked Questions


Below are answers to common questions. Click the + next to each question to expand the answer.

How long does the process take?

It depends on which tier you choose:

Purpose Alignment: 1–2 weeks
Brand Foundation Essentials: 3–4 weeks
Strategic Brand Foundation: 4–6 weeks

Each timeline includes our collaborative work together plus my strategic development time.

What if I'm not sure which tier is right for me?

That’s exactly what the free 30-minute Brand Clarity Call is for. We’ll discuss where you are in your business journey, what you need most right now, and which investment level makes the most sense for you. There’s no pressure—just clarity.

Do I need to have completed the Define Your Why Playbook first?

Not at all. The playbook is a great free starting point if you want to explore your purpose on your own first, but it’s not required. If you’re ready to dive in with expert guidance, we can start with any tier that fits your needs.

What's the difference between the tiers? Can I upgrade later?

Each tier builds on the previous one:

Tier 1: Focuses on your core purpose and promise
Tier 2: Adds positioning, values, and buyer persona
Tier 3: Includes mission, vision, and your origin story

Yes—you can absolutely start with Tier 1 and upgrade later. Many clients do this as their business evolves.

What if I already have some branding done?

Perfect. We can review what you already have and identify gaps or areas for refinement. Often what’s needed is alignment and clarity—not starting from scratch. We’ll make sure everything works together strategically.

How do we work together? Is everything remote?

Yes, everything is done remotely via video calls and email. This allows us to work together no matter where you’re located. You’ll receive all deliverables as digital PDFs that you can reference and use immediately.

What happens after our project ends?

You’ll have everything you need to move forward confidently, plus email support for your tier timeframe. If you want ongoing strategic guidance, we can discuss a longer-term partnership. Many clients return for additional services as they grow.

Do you offer payment plans?

Currently, 1/4 payment is due at the start of the project. However, if you need alternative arrangements, we can discuss this during your Brand Clarity Call. I want to make this accessible.

What if I don't like what you create?

Your satisfaction matters deeply. We work collaboratively throughout the process, so you’ll have input at every stage—not just at the end. Each tier includes revision time and email support to ensure you feel confident in what we create together.

Can you help with website copy, social media, or marketing materials?

My core services are strategic brand strategy and storytelling, with web copywriting available when it supports that foundation. Because brand storytelling often lives on your website, this ensures your message is clear, aligned, and consistent. From there, you’ll have a strong blueprint to guide future marketing, with trusted partners available for additional execution.
