““Colette assisted our growing firm in developing a marketing plan. She immediately became a part of our team, immersed in the photographer and photographic supplies industry and conducted a complete analysis of our market position. She assessed our direction and was instrumental in defining new strategies and tactics to redirect our market position and more fully leverage our unique capabilities. Through her assistance, we developed a unifying tag line “Let Your Art Stand Out” that is the foundation of internal and external strategic initiatives. She was a lightening rod for fresh approaches to our website, testimonial input, implementation of a celebrity educational program, development of our first catalog in over 2 years along with a grass roots publicity campaign. She embraces her client’s markets as her own.” Scott Yacko Former CEO & President NayaCo, LLC

“The most important step I took on embarking on opening a retail oriented showroom was to work with Colette on defining the marketing strategy and program controls. Retailing in home medical equipment and professional services is a brand new adventure for me. Her expertise, insight and planning roadmap were instrumental in making our grand opening a huge success. She helped me define the steps, parameters and timeframe for our strategy and tactics on the “when, where and how” to stay on task. She enhanced our professional positioning and guided us on leveraging our marketing investments to their fullest extent. We’re launching our second retail oriented showroom. We have an excellent, successful template from store one. We’ll continue to seek her guidance on company-wide marketing and innovative initiatives.” Tammy Zelenko CEO & President Advacare Home Services

“As Co-chair of the Board's Marketing Committee, Colette directed a school-wide marketing audit that included personal interviews, evaluation of tonality, brand image, mission and messages, all current materials, advertising, press and statistical information on admissions, prospects, referral and retention. As a result of this work, she then provided leadership for a successful multi-year effort resulting in brand enhancement and identity strategy, repositioning of the school through mission revision, development of philosophy, values and proof points, a visual demonstration of this "value system", repositioning of all collateral and school visuals, targeted press strategy, committee oversight of content, and revision of the school's website. Additionally, she achieved expansion of the marketing committee, improving its planning structure, management, productivity, program development and implementation. This comprehensive effort resulted in a school wide marketing plan cohesively integrated with our strategic plan. She works tirelessly with many constituencies and stakeholders. We are deeply indebted to her for her strategic marketing savvy, wisdom and dedication.” Rosalind Hamar Head of School Marin Horizon School
