What I’m Offering for Our Community

I am a current marketing and technology consultant that works with large companies. In light of the holiday season, and as an effort to build community throughout Brooklyn and the greater NYC area, I wanted to offer branding and marketing support to small businesses, creatives, and entrepreneurs in our local community on a sliding scale basis.

Here's what you can expect:

Initial Email Evaluation (Free): Share your current challenges, and I’ll provide a brief assessment of your brand’s strengths and areas to improve.

Consultation Call: A one-on-one session to dive deeper into your goals, with practical strategies tailored to your needs.

Custom Action Plans: If you choose to continue, I can create a detailed roadmap for brand building, social media campaigns, or holiday marketing strategies.

Execution Support: Help with specific needs like creating mailers, ads, or social content, all designed to align with your vision and audience.

Hours Involved:
The time commitment depends on the service:

Email evaluations take about 1-2 business days to deliver feedback, pending on wait list size.

Consultation calls are 30-60 minutes.

Action plans and execution will vary but typically range from a few hours to larger projects that span a week or two.

I want this to be accessible for everyone, so rates are flexible based on your budget:

Consultation Calls: Sliding Scale:
Start as low as $50 for qualifying businesses.

Action Plans & Support: Customized rates based on the scope of work, starting at $100.

Frequently Asked Questions:

A deep dive into your branding or marketing challenges, with actionable tips you can implement right away.

Can you help me with holiday campaigns?
Absolutely! This is the perfect time to create campaigns that capitalize on seasonal trends and maximize sales opportunities. The inspiration for this campaign was born from my passion for helping small business capitalize on the holiday season and take advantage of my experience to really get the most out of the next couple of months. (Especially considering current economic issues!)

What happens after the consultation?
You’ll receive a summary of our discussion, next steps, and optional ways we can continue working together. Regardless, I am happy to answer any questions you may have as time permits as well as hopefully connect you with any relevant resources whenever they pop up.
