FAQs

  • I work as a long-term marketing leader on a part-time contract basis. This allows me to become embedded in the organization, build a long-term marketing strategy, and lead the marketing implementation work with your current marketing team or with contractors that I bring in from my agency.

  • Send me a message to book a free discovery call. We’ll meet for about 20 minutes so I can learn about your needs and challenges. If I think there’s a good fit, I will propose next steps.

  • I will do extensive research around your current marketing channels, including your website, emails, social media channels, overall messaging, and content. I will also connect with some of your employees and clients to delve deeper into discovery. I want to see what’s going on with your marketing from all angles. I will also research your direct competitors. After I have completed my assessment, I will devise a list of recommendations. We will meet to review my findings and discuss next steps.

    Michelle Tibble, Awesome Balloon Creations

  • She's been a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to others who want to beef up their marketing and branding.

    Diane Kubal, Fulcrum Network

  • Thank you for the advice you gave me about my website I'd launched last fall… You quickly diagnosed that there was a pretty much fatal problem in the design… I'm confident that I now have a platform that will succeed.

    Bob Benenson, Local Food Forum

  • I feel much better. Lighter. I feel like I know where I'm going to post, who's going to see it, and how to engage new clients.

    Eydie Balsam, College Bound Advising

  • We've been working with Julie for the past year, and it's been a fantastic partnership. Julie is our outsourced marketing department, and her impact has been tremendous.

    Steve Burns, CJG Partners

  • We worked with Julie on an e-newsletter project earlier this year. We had a very tight turnaround, and Julie was able to deliver a great new newsletter to us a day before our expectations. She was easy to work with throughout the process and gave us some great consultative advice on content areas we might consider in the future to help better demonstrate the value of the programs we support. Highly recommend her!
