Because it all comes down to telling a good story, I use the written word to help companies create a strong 21st Century footprint.
Cari likes to say that “If it involves the written word, she’s done it.” The fact is she’s also an expert with the spoken word. Cari was a pre-submission editorial consultant for WHITE ELEPHANT, my debut novel, published by HarperCollins Ecco imprint. She came up with terrific, innovative ideas for social media and PR. A former TV reporter, Cari was an enthusiastic media coach who prepared me for scheduled public speaking engagements and interviews with thoughtful questions and expert confidence-building techniques. Cari is creative and full of energy; while also being the consummate professional. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
We hired Cari after searching on Linked In Pro Finder for a writer for our non-profit newsletter. Cari has been a pleasure to work with, is incredibly enthusiastic about our mission and learning about the work we do. She has consistently delivered articles on-time, even under sometimes tight turnaround times. I would recommend Cari for your writing project.
A little hit of Cari goes a long way. I’m grateful for any minutes we can get with her to tap her ideas and creativity.
I have the pleasure of working with Cari as she is designing, implementing and training us for a social media campaign that is having tremendous success. Her energy, insight and organizational skills are simply second to none. The plan Cari put into place and now is helping us execute is clever, on point, fun and ‘do-able’. So glad we have Cari on our team and looking forward to working with her as much as possible in the future.

The presentation was fantastic! It was informative, upbeat, really detailed and extremely useful! Exactly what a great Chamber educational networking event should be. Everyone else I spoke to thought the same thing… And Cari is the only person who has ever been able to explain clearly to me what a hashtag is.

It is amazing all you have been able to do for us in such a short time, two-months! Washington Post, hour-long web chat (I could never have done this with out you! You are the best and it was a lot of fun!), PLUS the full-page bonus article in the print edition of the Washington Post a week later; Baltimore Sun (the article looks GREAT!); Newsday; WJLA-TV, Channel 8-Talk Back Live!; full page business profile in the Montgomery County Gazette, the Huffington Post. The writing of “TAD’s Top Ten Tips for a Successful Move,” was a key angle for pitching as was “transitional trauma.” Your Press Release writing to announce the transition to our new name and brand and consulting and advice on Wish for a Lifetime PR has been invaluable. Thank you again for all your hard work! You are amazing.

Cari is a media pitching dynamo. I brought her in for media pitching for a client and the results were impressive. She has a deep and current knowledge of the media landscape and is tenacious in her follow-through. She’s also just plain fun to work with. I recommend her highly.
Cari’s background in traditional media has provided an incredible backdrop for our foray into social media presence. Her connections to traditional media and her ability to transform them into the ever-evolving network of social platforms, has established Cari as a leader in her field. Cari provides valuable input, an incredible energy and a lending ear. I high recommend Cari.
