How can we get this message across clearer and drive business?"

Lori Davies

She loves to figure out the best way to communicate to your clients or prospects to build future relationships.

Our Story
dameSpeak was born in 2021 — not from a business plan, but from bold timing and shared vision. Amid a pandemic and economic downturn, co-founders Alex Colley and Lori Davies found themselves at a professional crossroads. After working together in previous years, a simple LinkedIn message — “Want to start our own business?” — sparked something bigger than either expected. Alex’s “Absolutely!” lit the match.
In their first meeting on January 13th, they sketched the foundations: name, logo, services — but more importantly, they built on honesty, trust, and the belief that marketing could be more human, more strategic, and more accessible. The focus was clear – dameSpeak was created to help small and mid-sized businesses grow with clarity, confidence, and connection.
Today, dameSpeak is a women-owned digital marketing agency helping brands thrive through SEO, AEO, social media, and smart content. We’re here to amplify your voice — with strategy that works and storytelling that sticks.
