Who Are We?
Diana Holquist
Owner and Founder
Diana spent her formative years as an advertising copywriter in New York City writing award-winning ads for Pepsi, Doritos, Sony, BMW, and other international brands.
After eleven years, she left the big city to raise a family. She also wrote and published five books with Hachette Book Group, a children's book with Penguin Random House, and a parenting memoir.
But she missed the collaboration of her advertising days--working closely and intensely with smart people to identify problems and find solutions.
Creating business books that get results was the best of both worlds. Smart people and smart books! She loves her job and brings that passion and professionalism to every project.
Her mission is to help all people get their messages out into the world. She's a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in philosophy and lives on the Philadelphia Main Line with one cat, two kids, one husband, and way too many books.
