Crystal Clear Buzz

CCB Logo

How’s your buzz? Humming along, spotty, non-existent? Has an outsider taken control? Virtual marketing is not only the future – it’s now! Web 2.0 has changed the landscape of cyberspace. Static websites and eNewsletters will no longer get the job done.

I help nonprofit organizations, small businesses and independent professionals harness the power of the internet to increase awareness and attract new supporters and customers.

Services offered include:

  • Virtual marketing analysis and planning
  • Setup, management, updates and optimization of social media profiles
  • Blog setup, writing and publishing with a focus on SEO and promotion
  • Website updates and small site development
  • Online community creation and management
  • Brand and image monitoring
  • Email/viral marketing

Services are provided on retainer and per project basis.

With more than a decade of experience in the nonprofit and financial services sectors, I specialize in reaching these markets. My knowledge base extends to many other industries as well.

I offer exceptional writing skills (I received a perfect score on the GMAT writing exam) and true out-of-the-box thinking.
