I work with entrepreneurs and small to medium sized businesses providing strategy and input to help them identify their target market, positioning, and how to use new media strategies to attract and engage customers. I help them understand the social web and how they can use it to build their online presence to attract more customers, increase visibility as well as connect with their customers.

If you need a one on one consultation or would like me to speak to a group, or a hands-on workshop, I would be more than happy to work with you.
