Since 1998, I’ve worked with (and for) small to medium-sized companies creating the most imaginative and effective designs possible. My background started in traditional marketing, and I originally studied at Fairfield University and University of Connecticut in communications and marketing, but doggone, that artistic side eventually took over, and I finished my college education in Fine Arts. I received a BFA from UConn and an MFA from University of the Arts (Philadelphia).
Clients I’ve worked with include Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, Connecticut Public Broadcasting, ABB/Alstom Power, The Bushnell, The Yale Repertory Theatre, The Little Theatre of Manchester/Cheney Hall, SummerWind Performing Arts, Capitol Region Conference of Churches, Connecticut Association of Nonprofits, Leave A Legacy Foundation, The Rideshare Company, Prolab Nutritional Supplements, Greater Hartford Jewish Community Center and just a whole host of others.
I work with the most amazingly talented group of individuals – from social media specialists, to web developers, to other marketers with different expertise, and a couple of specialized designers and writers. We love what we do. Everyday.
Twitter, Jaiku, Pownce and Tumblr are all sites that host micro-blogging. Micro-blogging is a form of blogging where users write brief text updates and publish them. The micro-bloggers usually has a group of followers who can view the mini-posts and often re-blog the info (depending on the type of message). The posts often contain links to websites, photos, or videos and can be informative, entertaining, funny, etc.
Micro-blogging, especially the Number #1 “Twitter” is effective as a component to a marketing campaign. It’s an additional way of reaching a targeted audience with fun, cool or interesting information – and getting a response. It should be a part of a viral campaign without having to use heavy-handed promotion.
Pay per click (PPC) is advertising on relevant websites. Your ad – whether its a text ad, image ad or video ad, appears on relevant sites. This is a cost-effective mode of advertising your website to like-minded folks. You pay only for the clicks your ads get. And you set the budget that works best for you.
I can set up your Google Adwords PPC campaign, monitor it, customize and tweak the ad campaign daily/weekly/monthly. You can choose to spend as little as $50 a month or thousands per month – it’s up to you and your campaign goals. With EuphoriaEvents.com we’ve seen an increase in awareness – from an average of 300 views per month to over 2000 views in a week – mostly visits from the Pay Per Click ads (about 15% of views came from posted articles and blog posts).

Blogs are popular for a variety of reasons, mostly because people like to enter into the realm of what someone else is thinking. How do they REALLY feel about that new gadget or what was it like to stay in Hotel Fun Resort? They want the skinny. Or they enjoy the latest behind-the-scenes news, the real “how-to” or a more personal sounding point of view. Corporate-speak is everywhere, but real-people speak is found in blogs. Some blogs offer useful advice and information.
Blogs are helpful for your company in several ways. They can help increase traffic to your site, offer reviews of your products (with links back to your site), increase awareness for your product or service, or help to answer questions people may have about your company, product or service.
Blog services I provide:
- blog design and customization
- SEO optimization
- setting up URLs and hosting
- finding advertisers
- promotion
- blog writing – posting (including ghost blogging)
Examples of blogs I write for, specifically for SEO purposes, include:
As a ghost-blogger, I’ve written for an entertainment complex, a newly-developed candy bar, a line of tee-shirts (very popular now), gambling & gaming venues and a trend-setting site. Pricing ranging from per-post costs (with links, images and keyword optimization) to weekly or monthly costs.
There are many article writing and submission companies nowadays. But when you need highly selective and personalized service, you need to work with a real person. Article writing is an especially great way to get more eyeballs at your website. I write highly-customized keywords optimized articles about your product, service or area of expertise. I then have the article(s) published on other high-ranking websites – always with a link pointing back to your website. Article writing and submission is valuable because it:
- increases your website’s search engine ranking (called page rank)
- helps to increase awareness of your website
- helps to build your brand
- increases the relevant traffic and qualified visitors to your website
- and if you have the right landing page, increases revenue for your company
