I hired Jacquelyn to design and execute the social media strategy for a major international conference my organization hosted in April 2011. I don’t normally pat myself on the back, but hiring Jacquelyn is one of the smartest things I’ve done in my professional life. Jacquelyn developed and implemented an integrated strategy that brought together our website with our Facebook and Twitter accounts in an impactful way. Through her work, Jacquelyn helped our Washington, DC-based conference reach an even larger audience of literally thousands in the Middle East, Europe and Asia – far exceeding any of our expectations. I highly recommend Jacquelyn and her skills as a social media strategist.

We’ve been doing traditional marketing for over 20 years and were afraid that social media marketing would be labor intensive and burdensome. At first, the technical side of learning how to post and integrate videos/photos was difficult, but now we are successfully managing a blog, Facebook Page and YouTube channel. The hands-on training and training materials you provided were our lifeline!

Thank you for making me get on Facebook and making it easier for me to do it. (and picturing it as a bar – which I now refer to as the Frolicsome Bar!) All of your help and advice helped me do it. And today I announced this three hour Shiva Nata class in Sacramento and it was Facebook people who signed up faster than anyone. We filled 13 spots right away and it was mostly with Facebook.And the people who signed up referenced Facebook rather than my blog. Anyway, Facebook! I am ASTOUNDED. Would have done this way sooner if I’d known.

I love what Jacquelyn Kittredge and e-bakery social media have done for the VCTF. As is the case with most executive directors of small non-profits, I wear many hats. Fundraising and adding to a large (and unwieldy) network of support are critically important and time-consuming, and are a constant challenge. What I’ve learned from Jacquelyn has made me much more efficient and successful at this. She showed me how to actually engage our Facebook fans, using all the tools available. We’re now able to leverage our social media infrastructure to achieve our support and fundraising goals. This makes my board of directors very happy and my job much more fun! Thank you e-bakery!

I was just present for the tele-class you presented with smArts & Culture. That was the best social media conversation I have ever been a part of. I often find myself turned off by social media webinars, tele-classes, and round-tables, because I feel like the “experts” on hand know less about social media than I do. … They can be so frustrating! With the tele-class you were just leading I found myself engaged the entire time. So many people try to fake their way through teaching people about social media strategies, but everything said in the tele-class aligned perfectly with my own experiences and gave me innovative ways to take e-marketing to the next level. Thank you so much!

Maryann and Jacquelyn’s call last week inspired me to set up a Facebook page for Making Ideas Visible. Thank you Maryann and Jacquelyn! I was the person who asked how to set one up — like where you actually go to do it — because from my home page it wasn’t obvious at all. I set it up that afternoon and within 2 days I had 150 people sign up. And I realized a lot of these people are good friends of mine who haven’t been reading my site/blog so this is a good way to touch more people.

I was stuck in the stone age until Jacquelyn showed me why I needed to upgrade my web site and blog. She increased my SEO (I didn’t even know what that was!), and proved to me that local businesses can see major benefits by tweaking their web presence. Thanks to Jacquelyn for dragging me into this century.

With Jacquelyn’s help I have changed how I market our properties. She approached each project as a collaboration and I never felt that she was trying to milk us with consulting fees. Her goal from the beginning was to teach us what we needed to know so that we could do this on our own. The girl knows her stuff!
