Unlike many other 'social media' companies out there - Amanda actually understands what it takes to build trust and relationship with your audience online - and will help you maximize both short-term opportunities and long-term relationships. She's a bona-fide expert in this space and an asset to anyone who works with her.
Pat Hensler, Marketing Manager, Hussmann
I consulted Amanda on clarifying my long term objectives and refocusing my business offering after a lot of change in the past couple of years. Her wealth of business knowledge, and her experience of running her own business, underpinned with super sound communications skills, made the session lively, informative and very productive. I've come away with a clear idea of where to focus my efforts - now I've just got to put it all into practice! Highly recommended.

Having attended one of Amanda's workshops myself and my business partner were so drawn to her approachable manner and her depth of knowledge that we then booked a session with her to help us understand the most effective way to expand our client base. We found this extremely informative and straight forward to put in to practice. We will definitely use her services again.
