Testimonials

Alpha Analytical

“It was a pleasure to work with Catherine. In her three-and-a-half-year tenure at Alpha, she transformed the marketing organization through the development of seminars, workshops, webinars, and trade shows that drove unprecedented lead generation, a social media program that dramatically extended our reach in the marketplace, and spearheaded company-wide initiatives including redesigning the customer portal, training customer-facing staff on social media skills, launching an employee blog, and instituting marketing automation tools (Hubspot, Salesforce, GoToWebinar, and Teamwork).”

Ralph Kocsis, EVP, Alpha Analytical

Aquent Gymnasium

“Catherine joined our team on a three month contract that eventually grew into a yearlong tenure as our marketing lead. In that time, she created a program structure and plans for a variety of marketing programs, resulting in measurable increases in audience size and engagement.

Catherine also developed a new channel of content that has proven itself to be more successful for lead generation than our PPC campaigns. Those campaigns have been suspended, and we have been able to focus our marketing investments where they make more practical sense.”
