After spending the last few weeks implementing the website and social media recommendations that the intern shared in her presentation, we feel so much better about our marketing plan moving forward. We’ve even brought someone on internally who is already diving into ways to drive more traffic to our Facebook and website through a strategized posting calendar/schedule which we’re really excited about.

I appreciated their openness to answering questions as well as taking the time to elaborate on explanations. The interns provided suggestions for how to implement and broke down beginning steps. Overall excellent work and presentation skills. Their work was better than what I have seen from professional firms.
