When you work with me, here’s what won’t happen:
1. Unnecessary meetings.
2. Hundreds of emails.
3. Wasted time.
4. Wasted money.
5. A know-it-all attitude.
And here’s what will happen:
1. Your marketing will be effective if I have to crawl across burning coal to make it so. (This has never happened, btw.)
2. Our work together will be fun because it can be.
3. The process will be informative because what if I get hit by a bus?
4. Your strategy will be straightforward because no one has time for the run-around.
5. I will say no when the occasion calls for it. I am here to protect your business, not mine.
Julia’s content strategy was a perfect fit for what we needed to accomplish and was always on-time and on-budget. Her writing is creative and entertaining and fit the personality and tone of our brand. She helped us develop and run social ad campaigns that appealed to our target market and helped to drive sales and engagement. It would be an honor to endorse, recommend, and work with Julia on any additional projects in the future.”
