WHO WE ARE
Thanks for checking us out! I’m Amber Nelson, the ringleader here at The Lingo Institute. I’ve been happily building this marketing, communications, and strategy company since 1997. My team and I are dedicated to helping our clients build a strong marketing communications foundation to increase their reach, maximize their impact, and meet their business goals.
