    WE ARE AN ALL-FEMALE, 100% BORN AND RAISED CANADIAN TEAM OF 9 EXPERTS IN EVERY DOMAIN OF SALES AND MARKETING! Your success is our business, period. ✨Who We Are✨ We're a large, dedicated team on a mission to bring the corporate marketing team experience to small business owners, providing experts in every domain of marketing, sales, business operations, and beyond (sometimes we even play the part of your therapist.) But what does that really mean? Essentially, if you need something done, we have a specialist on our team who can help. And if we don't, we'll find an expert who can. Here's what we actually do: ➡️ Marketing Strategy and Business Planning ➡️ SEO and Copywriting ➡️ Social Media Marketing ➡️ Sales and Cold Calling ➡️ Email Marketing ➡️ Design and Branding ➡️ Website Design and Development ➡️ Social Media and Google Ads ➡️ Graphic Designs and Promotional Material ✨Why Do We Care About Small Business?✨ Because we are one, and everyone on our team owns one, too. We get small business because we are small business. We were born into it, and entrepreneurship runs deep in our families. We've seen this pattern before: you're losing time trying to do everything. You can't be a marketer, seller, SEO expert, website designer, social media manager, content creator, and business owner. We'd never want to run your business, so why are you trying to do a job that isn't yours to handle? ✨Who We Work Best With✨ We thrive with small business owners, solopreneurs, and family businesses who are pulling in under $1 million a year. But let's be honest: we’re not everyone’s cup of tea. Here’s who we click with: 👉🏻 Straight Shooters: If you’re upfront about your needs and goals, we can hit the target every time. Transparency is our jam. 👉🏻 Team Players: Think of us as your business BFFs. If you’re ready to partner up and work towards common goals, we’ll create some serious magic together. 👉🏻 Chameleons: If you can roll with new strategies and adapt to change, we’ll pivot like pros to meet your business needs. 👉🏻 No Know-It-Alls: We bring tons of experience and expertise to the table. The best results come when we collaborate and trust each other. 👉🏻 Reins Relinquishers: If you’re ready to let us steer your marketing strategy, we’ll drive you straight to success. 👉🏻 Go-Getters: If you’re ready to move forward and not stand in your own way, we’re the perfect match to help you grow. 👉🏻 Positivity Pros: A cheerful and optimistic outlook makes our collaboration not just productive, but downright enjoyable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Check Out Our 5 Star Review! We're so proud of the work we've done, and the businesses we've helped, here's what they think! "Adan reached out right away. In addition to her timely responses she was very clear in communicating time lines and expectations. Her deliveries did not disappoint! I would 100% work with Adan again on future opportunities." "Adan was excellent to work with. Great communication, punctuality, and skill, coupled with a bright and engaging personality. She brought great enthusiasm and hard work to our project, and was fantastic to work with." Adan is very thorough and well versed in constructing a solid business/ marketing plan that underscores our Brand (no matter how novel we are). Great layout and visually composed in an easy to follow, understandable foundation describing our business, goals, preparations, and tasks to grow. She is also a pleasant individual to coordinate with. My partner and I have enjoyed the process of development. We both agree we will most likely return, for more work with Adan, as we become more established and need more development. Thank you Adan!!" ✨Ready to Break the Mold?✨ Stop repeating old habits and let's get started on something new and exciting for your business. Here's how to kick things off: 1️⃣ Send me a message and we'll chat over the phone where you can tell me about your business. 2️⃣ Let's discuss your goals and how we can achieve them together. 3️⃣ We'll send you a quote tailored to your needs. 4️⃣ We'll roll up our sleeves and get to work.

    I am a passionate, enthusiastic and award-winning Marketing professional focused on getting results. I have worked for over 20 years building effective programs for great people in a variety of industries. I like to make it fun, so everyone enjoys the journey from a good idea to strong results! I worked for brands such as Microsoft, Intercontinental Hotel, and 3M Healthcare along with a number of other businesses including law, career development, hospitality and software. Although all of these are very different, they all had the same formula: using a research-based and thoughtful approach to appeal to the market, testing different marketing methods, and then expanding on those tests based on the results. As a specialist in franchising, I worked at building businesses such as Shred-it, Tutor Doctor, and FranchiseBlast (acquired by Franconnect). I was asked to speak at International Franchise Association (IFA) and Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) events on topics involving franchisee engagement and community marketing. For franchisors, I have experience on both the consumer and franchise development marketing sides. My specialty is creating Marketing in an environment that Digital Marketing is very effective. For clients who are off-line only, I am not sure if I am the right fit. However, I can create companion print pieces for an integrated digital strategy. I bring a lot of passion to every project that I do. I am good at inspiring team members, especially millennials, to get excited about a new direction. I am also strong at advocating and representing a change to both traditional organizations and ones that are ready and willing when there is a real business need for it. My background includes an MBA from Queen's University and a Bachelor of Commerce from Carleton University. My mission is to help businesses grow and to get strong results for everyone that I work with. I feel enthusiastic about being part of Upwork because it will help me expand my reach in terms of how I can create positive change for businesses across the world.
