TESTIMONIALS
What clients and co-workers are saying
“I had the pleasure of working with Courtney for over five years during her time as a strategist and content producer with Marriott International. I witnessed firsthand her incredible ability to drive the creative direction and production needs of a project from conception to distribution. Her keen insights into best practices in social/digital marketing, impressive big picture strategic thinking, and agility at working across brand voices and verticals created a perfect storm of success for our team. Courtney is a thoughtful leader with a bold creative vision. She’d be a fantastic asset to any team.”
“Courtney has a fantastic eye that makes her a joy to work with, especially as a creative. Her ability to see the big picture allows for someone like me to have the freedom to experiment visually while knowing that she will always keep me on-strategy. She’s also shown that she can pivot like a pro. Whether it’s changes in budget, brand voice, etc., she never gets flustered and always delivers. That kind of confidence and skill has been such an asset to have on my team and I’ve learned so much from her.”
“Working with Courtney over the last couple of years [at Marriott International] has truly been a pleasure. Courtney is strategic, creative, and is always in the know as to what is going on in the industry. Not only is she sharp and knowledgeable, but she’s also an all around awesome human. I look forward to working with her again in the future!”
