In an effort to gain traction in a newly defined niche market, Ashley was successful in a variety of ways – applying her proven tactics, but also experimenting with new and cutting edge technologies to help generate awareness and appreciation of our brand story. Not only did she increase our following and engagement, she also was able to develop intrigue and interest for a long period of time (the lead up to our launch) with minimal loss in brand attraction. Apart from her digital expertise, Ashley went above and beyond to garner partnerships on behalf of our brand and exercise her own personal network on the off chance that her connections could and would better assist our brand trajectory. Personal investment. Positive attitude. Thoughtful analysis. Creative out of the box thinking. In synopsis, Ashley was an exceptional contractor. More importantly, however, she was and is, an incredible person.”
