I had a wonderful experience with Christina! She was able to produce an image. I loved in ChatGPT and even improve upon it! I’m not very techy, and she was so helpful in providing different formats for my logo and business card to use in various ways I needed. Highly recommend!

I had 3 pros respond but I felt like she was the most understanding of my request. She got back to me in a timely manor and really seemed to understand what I wanted. As a fellow mid -westerner I think she had the patience to help me figure out what I wanted/needed. As I was sharing me ideas she let me k ow what would work best with printers - I don’t know about any of that and I felt very confident in her professionalism

Working with Christina was a dream! I was working on a very tight deadline and Because Christina is so knowledgeable about what she does, she knew what I needed, how to execute it and who would be the best (and least expensive) company to print it. She even took the time to deliver my brochures personally so I would have them in time AND save me shipping costs. I can't say enough good things about CleverGirl Marketing Communications. I will recommend her to everyone and I am now a tried and true customer!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I like to review the scope of a project before quoting it. It's mutually beneficial and it ensures everyone involves is clear on what is expected, what will be delivered, the project timeline, and the fee. My policy is 50% up front to begin the project with the balance due upon completion. I accept Venmo and PayPal as well as credit cards—your choice.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to discuss the scope of the project, of course, but learning their overarching ambitions is key. I do a lot of listening, asking questions that give me insight into the client's wants, needs, preferences, and dislikes. After our initial conversation, I will summarize the conversation and provide that to the client to ensure we are on the same page with deliverables and expectations. Then, it's off to the races!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 20+ years of design experience in positions ranging from a production assistant to the executive director of a design studio employing 8 people. As for marketing, I have 10 years of experience leading Inc5000 marketing teams with tech-forward solutions and a deep understanding of visual brand development. Everything from automated marketing campaigns to brand guidelines and explainer videos. In addition to these skills, I received my MBA in 2013.
