As a marketing consultant with over 20 years of professional experience, I am passionate about helping my clients grow their business and speaking to groups about making marketing work for their business. I've worked with small entrepreneurs, various industries, and international companies - and I believe there is no "one size fits all/insert company name here" model when crafting and executing a marketing plan. It's all custom! From traditional marketing communications to web-based social media initiatives - each has a place depending upon the type of business, target market, budget, and timing. I find that clients know their business, but they need a go-to resource that will pull together their marketing efforts and stay on top of the work. We create a plan and attack their "need tos and should haves" - transforming their marketing into an important and proactive part of their business. I enjoy and have experience in most things marketing including - strategy and planning, traditional print graphic design, digital design & marketing, e-mail communications, social media, PR, SEO, CRM, financial analysis, training, branding, website management, as well as professional speaking engagements to help educate others on best marketing practices and harnessing the power of social media, e-mail, and the Internet to grow their business. Whether you need help with a small project, an overall strategy, someone to help you manage your on-going marketing work, a marketing coach, or a speaker for your team or group, I look forward to using my wealth of marketing experience to help you grow your business!
