Digital Marketing

Whether you are new to digital marketing and need the basics (Web site, social media presence, or an email campaign)…or you are looking to optimize your current Web efforts, I can help. I’ve got broad digital marketing experience in creative, content and even technical development. Let’s go to coffee and chat about what you need to make your digital marketing work best for you.

Press and Promotion

An area near and dear to my ♥ – Press and Promotion are something I’ve done successfully for my own consumer product start-up. Frankly, I can’t help it – I’m a “sharer” by nature. Not many fledgling companies can say that they were featured on a number of well known blogs (including Oh, Joy! and DailyCandy), NPR affiliates and print magazines; we even had requests for more information from national publications like Real Simple. I love to get the word out about novel or unique products or services. Let me know if you want me to do that for you!

Marketing Optimization

Sometimes you are just too close to the project to see where the cracks are. I’m excellent at reviewing marketing creative or follow-through and (tactfully) suggesting tweaks or changes that would make it more powerful and effective. If you’ve been banging your head on why something isn’t working, let’s get together! As they say, two heads are better than one!

Marketing Creative

I love to do creative, whether brainstorming, initial sketches, or final roll-out. Finally, if your creative is especially intricate, or if it’s something I can’t do with my skill set, I know plenty of people who are amazing at a wide variety of creative endeavors and would love to hook you up.

About Elayne…
Hi, there! I'm Elayne. I specialize in marketing strategy and brand communications, with nearly 20 years of marketing experience. As lifelong learner, I'm happiest when I'm getting to put creative tactics into motion and I love, love, love geeking out. I have an MBA with an emphasis in Economics and Marketing from the University of Arkansas (which I attended with a full academic scholarship), and I earned my Bachelor of Science in Graphic Communications Management from Carnegie Mellon University. I love libraries, comedy, kids, art and anything vintage or French. I also love marketing products, services and experiences! Do you need some help?

Pricing

Bang for Your Business Buck

As a small business owner myself, I know that all marketing spends (including for my help) need to show return on investment. Pricing for marketing help runs $50 an hour and I make sure that you get your money’s worth.

 

There is no charge for:

  • Our initial consultation meeting (up to an hour)
  • Down time (time when actual work isn’t involved) or time when I’m multitasking (i.e. when I’m thinking of your business while brushing my teeth or driving in my car – that’s a “freebie” bonus!)
  • Connecting you to others I know in the industry on projects that I can either not take on during the time frame you need, or that would have a better match elsewhere.
