Testimonials

Kavita Mistry, Vice President  GolinHarris

“It is rare to come across someone who has the “just right” blend of smarts and smiles - someone who gets the strategy but can also engage and influence at the same same time. This skill, combined with her global perspective, makes Carla a great fit for a senior-level marketing role. We had an award-winning partnership for a major international marketing campaign and I'd be delighted to work with her again.”

“Carla handled the Center of Innovation for Aerospace's marketing communications needs expertly, efficiently, and creatively. I knew we'd receive the best services the Dept. of Economic Development could offer. We were one of Carla's many clients and I immensely valued her advocacy of our needs while providing excellent work for our team. Her top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity."

Brandy Smith, LPC Avanti Counseling Svcs.

“Carla's patience and energy uniquely qualify her for working with someone like me: she takes time to explain things, and her energy brought hope to what I thought would be a scary process. Another asset is her responsiveness: I had prepared myself for a decent turn-around time to see any product but she provided materials to review within 24 hours of our conversations. I am delighted to recommend her.”
