 Janet and I worked very closely together at The Wedding Expo when I first started. I will always be so grateful to Janet for welcoming me and showing me the ropes. Janet is organized and focused with a real problem solving mentality. She has a well rounded knowledge of marketing with a special interest in social media. Her commitment to a project is commendable.  

 Janet has been instrumental in the launch of my new business. Janet listened to my vision and ideas and added her own brilliant ones that very quickly formed a working formula to get my business on its feet. I needed her expertise and extensive knowledge of the overwhelming amount of media and marketing platforms available these days. She created a beautiful website and Facebook page for me that includes a blog and regulars status up dates. She put my business on other platforms and has managed those with enthusiasm and professionalism. She has listened to everything I have been feeling daunted about and she has put my mind at ease. I would recommend her to anyone, anytime!
