I’m fortunate to have worked with MaryAbigail when Solarity Credit Union was a client of our agency. She was the ideal client - wicked smart, a relentless focus on business value, a fantastic collaborator and an amazing partner.

Over the two years we worked together, I saw her to be a great leader on her team. She behaves with an incredible level of integrity and calls people in, helping them to grow and thrive. She treated our agency team members as an extension of her team and gave us a seat at the table to talk through the strategic direction and plans for Solarity.

During one particularly challenging moment, MaryAbigail helped us navigate through a fairly negative culture situation with a different leader at Solarity with the kind of poise and grace I don't often see. We came out the other side of that issue with a stronger relationship and a lot of respect for MaryAbigail’s values and leadership.

I’m confident that any organization would benefit from MaryAbigail’s exceptional knowledge and leadership. She thrives at taking a complex challenge and being able to create and oversee a plan to tackle it in realistic chunks - a difficult skill to master. Her passion in brand development, PR and crisis communication makes her a fantastic leader within marketing organizations as well. What’s most impressive is her ability to integrate into an organization, understand its challenges and create a thoughtful and high-value plan, no matter the industry. I would joyfully, and without hesitation, recommend her.

MarTech Experience

Technology is always changing and so does the marketing technology (MarTech) stack. These are a few that I have worked with but with the rate of AI and the market, this is likely already outdated

LLMs such as Chat GPT, Perplexity, Invideo, Microsoft suite, ZenDesk, Jira, Smartsheet, Salesforce Financial Services, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Marketo, Dynamics, Hootsuite, Social (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok), Slack, Teams, SilverCloud, Google suite (Google Analytics, Google Ads, Data Studio, Optimize, Review, Locations), S&P, SiteImprove, SEMRush, WordPress, Squarespace, Craft, Outbrain, Taboola, GatherContent, Tableau, Datarama, Mixpanel, SurveyMonkey, InMoment, CloudCherry, Adobe Creative Suite, Monday.com.

I focus on revealing potential by finding what works, refining what doesn’t, and creating clarity in the process.
