"Ashley was a pleasure to work with. She brought a lot of fresh ideas to our team and a wide range of knowledge about digital marketing. We now have a solid start for content marketing - with a content calendar, templates, and a strategy. She trained up someone on our team to take over the work. She also was able to help with an improved Amazon listing and SEM. She's fun to work with and professional."

Noah Teitelbaum

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

"Working with Ashley has been great. She is honest, straightforward, and very efficient with solving even the most difficult problems. She has a great talent for demystifying concepts that can otherwise seem intimidating or out of reach. Best of all, Ashley doesn't just do the work for you - she teaches you how to become self-sufficient. As a director that likes my team members to be as self-sufficient as possible, I find this approach extremely valuable."

Anna Lantry

CEO & FOUNDER

“It was a stroke of luck that I connected with Ashley. I needed to get the task of creating blogs off my plate and into the hands of a pro. I couldn't be more pleased! She did the research on the topic as well as on our nonprofit to provide a well written blog complete with SEO - keywords, CTA, and a ready to post format. How fortunate that I was able to connect with the perfect professional on the first try"
