Testimonials

Dogwatch Hidden Fences

“Adding a social media component to our marketing and communications plan has the potential to exponentially expand our marketing reach. For a modest investment, we get huge exposure. Weber Media Partners has made it possible for us get where we wanted to go.”

Demie Lyons, Marketing Director, Dogwatch

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.”
