it’s time for your town to thrive!

 

Often the success of your town comes down to an effective strategy — one that puts your vision and goals into motion. Let’s create a plan to help you move forward!

 

work smarter, not harder

 

Reviving a town does not happen overnight, but a great plan and an inspired group of leaders can take you a lot farther, a lot faster.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with some amazing towns with incredible visions — some in the very beginning stages of revival, and some already experiencing revival but needing help with where to go next.

These workshops have been a catalyst for small town momentum and success, and we have seen many communities excel beyond their goals.

Let’s help your town do the same!

  • Attract visitors to your town

  • Danna is a graduate of Iowa State University with a B.A. in Public Relations and an entrepreneur at heart.

    After successful stints as a corporate Advertising Account Executive and nonprofit Director of Communications, Danna put her experience to work for her and created her strategic consulting company, Spark Seven.

  • Danna’s passions include all things music, working on the farm, and cruising the back roads…where she’s probably dreaming up her next business idea.

  • INFP

    Strategic/Adaptability/Positivity/Achiever/Futuristic

    And I’ve never taken the Enneagram. Yep, you read that right.

 

You know her as the founder and podcast host of Rural Revival. And yes, she spends a good part of her time fueling Rural Revival, showcasing the hardworking people who are finding creative ways to do life in rural communities all across America. But beyond that, Danna is an entrepreneur at heart and loves bringing new ideas to life.

She helps her clients build their brands through Spark Seven, her strategic consulting company, and has fun helping them bring their message to the world in an authentic way. She is now bringing this experience to the Rural Revival audience through speaking and events, one-on-one consults, workshops, and BRANDED by Rural Revival.

Danna further serves her audience as a member of the Governor’s Empower Rural Iowa Task Force and founder of the Odebolt Community Foundation.

After years of living in the city, she recently returned to the farm in Iowa to help bring revival to her hometown. She has traveled rural America extensively and is ready to lead and encourage you, and help you thrive in your business and community!

I would highly recommend Danna to help guide the strategic planning process for your organization or business. Her experiences in advocating for and serving rural communities is unparalleled, and she brings all that experience to the table for you.

Danna helped guide meaningful discussion for our Convention and Visitors Bureau Board to establish achievable goals, focus on our desired guests and tourists, and re-evaluate our mission and vision.

We left this time feeling motivated, excited about the future and with plans to conquer our goals.

YOU are doing what you are meant to do, Danna. You are a catalyst for people moving from concept to action in small towns! It is so needed.

I cannot speak highly enough about Danna and her skills. She not only encouraged me to follow God’s voice in writing my book, she also provided excellent strategies as to how to market the book. She previewed the original contract, provided directives on how and where to market, and offered excellent strategic business advice. She has been an outstanding mentor, coach, and friend. I would encourage anyone looking for a coach to consider Danna Larson. You won’t regret it!

- Leslie G.

 

Where to even begin! Danna is such a precious soul! Over the past year, I’ve been navigating new areas of business. She and I met through a mutual friend and immediately I knew that it was meant to be. She has inspired me, encouraged me, and shared so much wisdom about being an entrepreneur. She asks the right questions, and truly desires to see your business and brand flourish! I’m so thankful for all of her expert advice and guidance with my business! It’s been a blessing to work alongside her.
