What do you do at Addison Clark?
I'm an account manager which means I do a little bit of everything for our clients! Whether it's drafting a marketing email or monitoring website analytics, the client is always top of mind. I enjoy working on something new every day — that's what I love about agency life!

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
On the weekends, you'll find me in the workshop flipping a piece of furniture. I've refinished coffee tables, end tables, nightstands, desk and more. There's something so cathartic about sanding, staining, and painting. Giving an old piece of furniture new life can be very rewarding. 

If you could travel in a time machine, would you go back to the past or into the future?
I've always been a history buff, so there's no question that I would travel to the past. My top destinations would be Victorian or Tudor England followed by the WWI era and the 1980's.

holiday marketing strategy 1

The holidays are always a heartwarming and busy time of year, and while it is important to implement a marketing strategy for your business all year long, making sure that a holiday strategy is implemented during these winter months is critical. It ensures that your business stays top of mind with consumers, no matter your business. Here are five tips to stay engaged and relevant to your targeted audience during the holiday season:

1. Partner with a local charity
Not only does this show your support to a good cause, but it also shows your business's commitment to community engagement. This is also an opportunity to show your customers what is important to you. Whether it be donating a percentage of holiday profits, or donating a product or service your business offers, it integrates your business within the community and encourages consumers to do business with you because of your values and mission. Plus, you get the benefit of knowing you're helping your community during the holidays!

competitor analysis 1

A marketing strategy is a fluid approach that needs to be constantly analyzed and adjusted. There are many different factors that can have an effect on your strategy, including what your competitors are doing. Keeping an eye on what your top competitors are doing will help you better understand how to enhance your own strategy. Not because you have to copy everything your competitor is doing, but because it is important to be informed and educated.
