Asana Consulting

Who we are plays a big
role in the work we do

Our Story
At the heart of our work is a talent and love for creating communications and marketing strategies and assets that create uplift and impact for organizations and their brands.

Our work leverages our unique blend of keen strategic skills, technical and creative expertise, excellent client service, and a love of creating strategies and assets that transform marketing into an empowering practice for organizations of all sizes and stages. Along the way, we’re building a vibrant community of clients, collaborators, and partners.

Nancy Lord started Asana Consulting in 2014, when she saw an opportunity to start a business that leveraged her entrepreneurial spirit and her 25 years of communications and marketing, innovation, and policy reform working for a diverse portfolio of innovative health organizations.

Since then, we have worked with social impact entrepreneurs and organizations looking for a strategic communications and marketing partner with equal parts expertise and heart.

Our company name is derived from the Sanskrit word asana (“AH-sana”), the yoga practice of forming and holding physical postures in connection with the breath to promote the union of body, mind, and spirit.

The principles that guide asana include alignment, flexibility, and intention. Among asana’s multifaceted benefits are: a steady and clear sense of purpose; greater mind-body integration, balance, and flow; and a higher level of internal fortitude and adaptability in the face of the myriad conditions that life presents.

Our name is Asana Consulting because the practice of asana is coded into our story. Our founder Nancy first learned asana in her college years. With continued practice and studying, Nancy has experienced the positive impact of applying asana‘s practice and principles to her health, her mindset, her parenting, her relationships, and her career.

Along the way, Nancy discovered that an asana-informed approach to communications, marketing, and branding creates positive impact for organizations, brands, leaders, and teams, too. When she decided to launch her communications and marketing business, Nancy focused on delivering services and guidance that would connect her clients to the power of communications and marketing by creating unprecedented levels of brand harmony, steadiness, clarity, integration, empowerment, integrity, and resilience in the face of the dynamic conditions and myriad challenges that affect businesses and their brands.

Uplifting your brand's story is what we love to do.
