About me

I am a self-proclaimed Social Media Enthusiast.
 
Not an expert, but certainly a loyal user who sees it for what it is best for: arousing interest in having a real dialogue that build relationships, from which all sorts of good things come. And to use this new paradigm for marketing and relating both wisely, ethically and authentically is my favorite theme to "evangelize" on. Social Media is but one part of powerful and effective media and promotional strategies that I encourage my clients and colleagues to engage in.
 
My cumulative years of experience with journalism, publishing, advertising, sales, event production, coaching and enrollment services have made me wholistically skilled at business development and client services. I particularly enjoy championing personal/professional development and educational opportunities.
 
Marketing is ANYTHING you can and choose to do to establish rapport and become known; efforts that over time result in win-win business relationships.
 
Marketing is ULTIMATELY about generating curiosity, creating a relationship and attracting those who want and need to find you and your offerings.
 
Authentic Communication saves time and is good for business and involves a great deal of listening.
 
High touch and high tech together are a dynamite duo when used wisely, tactically and this is important, consistently.
 
Please, I say YES, EMBRACE technology, but appreciate what works “the old fashioned way” as well. The best marketing practices I know of honor both. But where is it written you have to do it all yourself? Your dream team awaits you. Your ideal clients look forward to meeting you too.
 
My hope is that we all attract those ideal clients and partners we deserve to know and be working with.
