"My biggest hesitation when it came to working with Susie and her firm was that I didn’t know her. She was referred to me by a fellow attorney, which is great, but I would be handing over parts of my business to someone I didn’t know. For a long time, my team and I talked about so many things we wanted to accomplish, but didn’t have the time or knowledge to do so. I knew it was time to do something in order to move the business forward, so I decided to schedule a roadmapping session with Susie and was really impressed with her affordability, comprehensiveness, and relevance.
Susie is very creative and, of course, knowledgeable about marketing, new technology, and the psychology of marketing. However, what really stands out is her strong planning and organization muscle. I work best when there is a system that I can understand, and she is very good at planning out processes and implementing them, so nothing is overlooked. It is a unique combination, I think, to be both creative and systematic.
With Susie on board, we were able to implement so many new marketing platforms, including a full rebrand of the business from our name to our website. We could not have done this without Susie and her team. We have so many aspects of marketing happening now and we are seeing the results in revenue. We now have automated marketing through our sales funnel, we are using social media consistently, and we have a beautiful new website. Not only would I recommend Susie and her services, but I already have."

"Looking back, our branding and marketing seems so thin and pale compared to where we are now. And, it just keeps building as Susie's well of ideas seems endless."
"We couldn’t be surer that choosing to work with Q2Mark was the right choice. It began nearly-two years ago with their Roadmapping session preceded with some “homework” for the decision makers in our organization. That session that day, and the report that followed, were eye opening for us. We couldn’t get started working with Q2Mark quickly enough. The Roadmapping session delivered far more value in itself than was represented by the cost in terms of time and money.
In the interim Q2Mark has delivered in so many ways for us. Initially by helping us realize where our brands needed strengthening and in delivering a set of Brand Guidelines we use nearly daily. Since then Q2Mark has helped identify weakness in our customer journey, marketing opportunities, sales process, and staffing approaches – helping us improve our process and implement systems that we continue to rely on every day.
While Q2Mark is well-versed in the technology of marketing systems they embraced our unique legacy and tech-centric approach and adapted their systems to work with ours seamlessly.
Q2Mark showed their true prowess in delivering a company-wide event, organized remotely and with myriad components that came together seamlessly – making our internal team feel confidant and allowing them to perform at their best. They helped arrange or directly organized all aspects of the event, supporting brand-building materials, project and task management, and provided coaching not only to the organizers but also to the presenters to make the event one of the highlights of the decade for us."
