For 30+ years I have been focused on two markets, Legal and Social Media marketing for small businesses. Along the way I started to recognize the increasing confusion from professionals that I met with as they tried to grapple with the complex strategies, they were being told they needed. This was holding small business professionals and entrepreneurs back from taking action and diving into marketing themselves and their businesses online. The need for competent brand marketers who could help this demographic was great and it seemed that what these professionals needed the most was someone they could trust to be honest with them and to execute on a strategy.
 
Since I started my professional marketing journey, I’ve had the opportunity to really expand my skillset. Now my firm handles social media accounts, branding, local advertising, website blogging, marketing compliance and legal issues, AI auditing and so much more. Today I’ve successfully integrated these services into a full offering for my clients with very positive results.

 

In 2023 I began speaking on stages throughout the country both virtual and in-person regarding the complexities of marketing and the law. This has led to even more opportunities to help businesses, especially as AI has come to the forefront.
