“Marijean was our on-staff social media guru and did an excellent job at guiding clients on the RIGHT social media strategy, not just doing social media because ‘everyone else is doing it.’ She also was (and continues to be!) a great mentor that has a knack for stepping back and seeing the big picture.” December 28, 2010
Brad Ramsey, Vice President, General Manager, The Newsplex
“Marijean worked with our company on a digital/social media strategy in mid-2009 that continues to pay dividends more than a year later. Her work was focused on a long-term strategy that would allow us to build a successful culture of social media planning and execution, not a one-time, one-size-fits-all solution. That culture soon followed, and her leave behind materials and knowledge set us up to continue building on that success. In addition to the long-range planning, we also hired Marijean to conduct a one-time seminar for our leadership team, on organization and management of today’s out-of-control email in-boxes. I was a skeptic, but she actually taught me that the email in-box can be effectively managed. Even when I lose my focus, which definitely happens from time to time (crises or vacation) I can always revert back to the system she taught us… believe it or not, at this very moment I have no emails in my in-box! I consider Marijean a friend, and a very valuable business consultant.” August 9, 2010

“I read Marijean’s blog, STLWorkingmom.com before I met her. She was a speaker on the social media panel at the CVille Chamber’s Quadruplicity seminar. Her ability to unravel the social media showstoppers for newbies was fantastic. She’s a polished public speaker with confidence and approachability who invites one to learn more. We reconnected through the CVille Chamber’s Business Women’s Round Table. Since then, she approached me about featuring my parenting blog, Traveling with Baby on her WCAV, CBS-19 Blog of the Week. First of all, props to Marijean for securing such a high-exposure regular segment on TV! Second, I was thrilled that she wanted to throw some fantastic publicity my way. I’m sure other bloggers feel the same love. Hats off to Marijean for highlighting the growing media voice of local bloggers and bringing them to the little screen. I enjoyed Marijean’s recent class on Linked In 101 at the Business Women’s Round Table. She’s a great teacher. I definitely picked up several tips that will help me connect with others in a more impacting way through social media. I hope to learn more from her in future classes through Chamber and community events.” June 24, 2009

“I had the pleasure of working with Marijean at Standing Partnership where we partnered on several client projects. A passionate innovator and caring professional, she brings tremendous integrity, intelligence and zeal to her work as a writer, social media maven and communications consultant. She is constantly learning and growing in everything she does and, while highly focused and results-oriented, never seems to take herself too seriously. In my experience, Marijean’s clients, her team and her co-workers are often all the better for having worked with her.” December 9, 2010
