What We Do
Everything is how you tell the story, especially if you want to be seen as the expert you are.
Yet to do that, you need a clear message, consistent visual branding, the website, and the clarity to be proud to share your business with others, book dream clients, and actually be profitable in the work you do.
I’m Annie Franceschi, a former Disney storyteller, branding consultant, and your creative partner here at Greatest Story Creative®. I founded this company because I believe you’re amazing at what you do, and you shouldn’t have to struggle to tell that story in your marketing or feel like you have to market yourself 24/7 to have a business you love.
It’s not easy to find the right words and visuals that connect with your ideal clients, or grow your business without having to become social media maven. That’s why I’ve helped 125+ coaches, consultants, and service business owners clearly and consistently brand and grow their greatest businesses - ones they love that love them back.
With my seamless 3-step Brand Story Solution and Establish Yourself™ coaching, I can help you have the tools and insight to confidently lead your practice into a more profitable, passionate next chapter.
Here’s how it works: set a free consultation with me, we’ll create your clear message, consistent brand, and compelling website, and then you’ll finally have the tools to market your business with confidence (and business consulting/coaching if you need it to put it into action!).
Grab that time with me today, so you can stop worrying if your marketing is confusing people and start proudly sharing your business with those you want to help most.

Meet Annie
Branding Consultant & Six-Figure Founder of Greatest Story Creative®
This isn't my dream job.
Let me explain. Growing up, I was the total arts kid (definitely not the sports kid). I loved creating things for friends and family, but most of all - I loved the movies. So after college, I followed that passion and headed straight for Hollywood.
I worked my way up to my “dream job” - a position at Disney, writing and presenting stories for major movies.
But getting what you think you want in life can be a funny experience. For me, it took finally reaching that incredible, "big deal" job to realize two very important things – 1) it was just a dream job, not a dream life – 2) as real people, we also have great stories to tell.
So I never imagined giving up a dream job at Disney, but I did. I’d never considered moving back to NC and starting a business, but I did. And in October 2013, I didn’t know where to really start or what might come next. But I did have this: a crazy idea to invent a business that helps real people like you tell your story.
This is Greatest Story Creative and it has been a risk worth taking.
In the many years that have followed, I’ve been blessed to bring to life the stories of so many real people - helping them to feel proud of how they share their business with others, book dream clients, break past six figures, and reach their biggest goals in business and beyond - all the moments big and small that make us who we are.
So this isn’t my dream job. It’s far better than a dream job because it’s bigger than just me.
I’m honored that Greatest Story Creative allows me to play a part in helping you share what’s great about you with the world. And I'm grateful every day that fate had a different plan for me. The chapters we write together stick with me for a lifetime - like no other work ever has or ever could.
To your next chapter -
Annie
