A writer's interviewing skills tell you a lot about them. While transcribing Vanessa's conversations, I was often impressed with her ability to set people — from average joes to elite athletes — at ease. Her genuine curiosity provokes thoughtful, witty, and revealing responses from sources — and it comes through on the page. Work with her if you get the chance!

When I first thought about bringing a social media expert on board, I wondered if it was possible to find someone who could replicate my voice for posts. The material had to be consistent with the way that I communicate with my readers. Vanessa quickly put to rest any questions I had. With her first set of posts, I realized what a find she is. Not only did she impress me with her clever, fun takes on my blog posts, she did a better job of promoting them than I did! She also found terrific articles to further my business's brand message. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for social media help.

​Thanks for this - it's really helpful. In many ways you've identified a number of things that I did already know, but of course when someone else points them out to you it creates an impetus to act.

Vanessa performed a mini audit on our Twitter account. Twitter is probably my least favourite social media account and it is our most underutilized. Vanessa confirmed what I thought we were doing wrong as well as gave some actionable items for improvement.

Vanessa helped answer questions we didn’t even know we should be asking concerning our social media strategy. She was able to point us in the right direction and helped us create a vibrant social media presence. Always responsive, helpful and quick with advice, Vanessa is an outstanding partner in helping any type of company navigate the ever murkier waters of your online presence.

Wow! Thank you for the detailed feedback! Some of the comments are not new to me (grammar issues etc) but it is always good to be reminded.  And others are ones I hadn't thought about but make so much sense. Thank you! This is definitely a valuable tool for newbies like me to get professional advice that's not too technical or overwhelming.

I highly recommend these audits! Vanessa's report is easy-to-digest and offers concrete actions for improvement. Very much appreciated, especially since mine was for the Zonta Club of Ottawa, a not-for-profit with which I volunteer.
