Building Unique Signature Businesses in the consulting & creative industry
For founders and leadership teams who want to evolve with clarity, coherence, and distinction.
Clarity. Coherence. Distinction.
That’s what turns a good business into a Signature one — and a founder into a category of their own. The difference isn’t luck. It’s clarity — knowing what’s truly yours to build.
At the core, it’s about strategic coherence: aligning who you are with how you evolve.
Knowing what you truly stand for. Designing your business around it. And communicating it in a way that feels unmistakably yours.
I’m Maria Meermeier, founder of The SAVVY Foundation. I work with founders and leadership teams to build Signature Businesses — companies that grow not through scale, but through precision, alignment, and depth.
No more overextension. No more chasing. No more models that look good on paper but feel off in practice. Just a clean, intentional business architecture that compounds value — and gives you back the energy, confidence, and joy to grow on your own terms.
What I offer
The Signature Business Assessment
A sharp, 5-step strategic analysis designed to reveal how close your business is to its Signature — and what’s needed to reach it.
The Quiet Revolution Program (Solo Edition)
A 12-week journey from clarity to movement.
Refine your positioning, business model, and structure for intentional growth.
The Quiet Revolution Program (Studio Edition)
A 12–16 week process for teams and studios.
Align values, vision, and strategy — and grow your signature business as one.
The Signature Business Newsletter
See what others overlook. Build what only you can.
Strategic advantage today doesn’t come from doing more — it comes from doing differently.
The Signature Business is a bi-weekly letter about building clarity, distinction, and depth into how you evolve.
Each edition shares one sharp perspective, idea, or framework — to help you design a business that feels unmistakably yours: coherent, profitable, and built to last.
For founders, consultants, and thinkers who want to build not just successful businesses — but Signature ones.
