We can work from your provided materials or help you create the materials. Our marketing services span from strategy to implementation as well as analytical reports to review what’s working well and what needs a bit of modification. Marketing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Marketing is a series of test, track, and analysis to shape the exact approach that resonates with the customers you’re trying to get in front of and assist with your services and products.
The beauty of marketing is it comes in many varieties. You can choose your platform based on what you enjoy plus where your target audience is found. For instance, if you’re comfortable with informal socializing while meeting new people, you’re marketing can thrive on one of the social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram. We understand each social media platform is home to key demographics and we’re happy to help you figure out where to find your target market.
If you are most comfortable with video or in front of a microphone, you may enjoy creating You Tube videos or hosting your own podcast. If words are your strength then blogging, email marketing, and sharing your messages through written copy are all great matches.
Don’t worry about feeling compelled to be actively presence everywhere. As long as you choose one or two locations, you can grow. The key to marketing is consistency and marketing where your customers will see it. Many of our services keep this steady-grow approach in mind and look for ways to help you repurpose your content to gain the most impact and reach for your marketing efforts.

Because of Ruth’s understanding of relationship marketing, she was able to assemble a Keeping-In-Touch Program customized to how I interact with my clients. I have already received several comments on how nice it was to receive a hand-written note and I have Ruth to thank for it all! Her keen attention to detail assures that nothing falls through the cracks and special occasions are remembered. Ruth makes my business look good and allows me to give my clients that extra level of attention that they love. I highly recommend Ruth to any time-strapped entrepreneur looking for a truly personalized VA service.

Ruth Martin needs a new title included in her profile…social media miracle worker! I recently reached to Ruth to assist with a client’s social media mess and in watching her work her magic there, it became clear that I needed her for my own social media issues. I promptly hired her, she set right to work, and the result is amazing! Ruth has all the knowledge, expertise, and intuition needed to establish and manage professional social media networks. My Likes and Follows have already increased significantly and it’s only been a week! Not only does Ruth know the technical aspects of social media but she is so insightful and intuitive when it comes to understanding what to include on your profile for the greatest impact, and the kinds of posts you need to reach the best audience for your niche. I love working with Ruth and highly recommend her to anyone wanting to increase their social media presence, and take the pressure and stress off your own shoulders! Thank you!

Working with Ruth has been a tremendous boost to my business and medical endeavors. Through the management of my LinkedIn account and with very little work on my part my network and reputation have grown dramatically. Several significant opportunities have developed solely due to Ruth’s professional management.
