Imagine…
Imagine an end to the constant juggling… an end to having to do “all the things” while you’re “learning as you go”
Imagine spending most of your time doing what YOU do best; what you are the only one who can do it like you do.
Imagine focusing on your business, knowing you looked and sounded as good as the products and services you offer.
Here’s a few things I know for sure:
- If you don't figure out how to use social media effectively, you'll keep wasting your valuable time better spent on what you went into business to do in the first place! 
- If you don’t plan strategically, you might as well be flushing your money down the toilet. 
- If your images and graphics don’t look professional, you don’t either. 
Am I the Right One?
I have a degree in research biology with a Masters in Fine Art. I started as a “maker”- a studio artist- who sold my one-of-a-kind items to customers nationwide. I also specialized in graphic design for artists and galleries. It didn’t take long to realize I was doing what I loved, but… I was also running a… BUSINESS!
As a creative entrepreneur for over 15 years, I know the pain of trying to focus on YOUR area of expertise while trying to market yourself!
(The struggle is REAL, folks!)
I’m taking everything I’ve learned through hard won ‘wins’ and, from my own painful mistakes, to bring you more than 15 years of experience in successfully planning, making, retail, design and marketing my own personal and professional projects. Now, I have shifted my energy into helping other unique and creative businesses find that balance between doing what they love, and SHARING it with others.
How can an artist help you with your gallery, studio, antique store, automotive business, or natural health care services (or whatever your small business does?) Because people trained in the arts are not just MASTERS of our medium, but masters of CREATIVE and Critical THINKING… of communicating something personal and meaningful in a unique way to your specific audience….. it’s what we do!
What does a creative thinker have that someone with a marketing degree doesn’t? People trained specifically in marketing are trained to do what has worked in the past. That is valuable information. However… original businesses, startups, mission oriented organizations, require custom solutions; not the application of generic principles meant to apply to large companies. Maybe it’s cheesy… but thinking ‘outside the box’ is what differentiates you, as unique from everyone else.
What can someone trained in research biology bring to the table? The ability to learn a subject in depth and objectively. The skills to objectively assess what’s been done before, and test new solutions. The ability to take this information, test new ideas, assess them objectively, implement, and start the whole process again to continuously refine a knowledge base.
I spent almost 10 years 'winging it' with Facebook's ever-changing algorithms and users, while managing the pages for my own business and projects, as well as for non-profits I was helping. No 'cheat sheet' or 'how-to' book can teach how to use a Facebook page or group effectively as what this hands-on investment over time does. I know how to customize content and create strategies for you business that will maximize organic reach and make your social media finally work FOR you, instead of you- working at it.
Schedule a call, or send a message, to schedule a FREE strategy session, just for you, to get some ideas for 2020, and to see if we’re the right fit to work together, and get the ball rolling!
Reviews
her diverse skills were invaluable
"...her diverse skills were invaluable in maintaining our early programming at the Clay Center, including the initial creation of our annual fundraiser...She was the computer whiz who helped streamline our web presence, data, email systems and newsletters. She was a key element in getting the Clay Center firmly established. Specifically, she did all the class and program scheduling and established a beautiful Residency program. She was particularly good at creating our initial exhibition schedule, including an annual Resident Artist exhibition offsite before we set up our own exhibition space, and doing all the necessary PR and paperwork such as contracts, licenses, mutual agreement forms, etc.
All these programs continue to this day, largely due to the firm foundation she established in their initial set up."

solved my immediate issues
“I was so frustrated with technology and my inability to learn things that others find simple or take for granted. I was in tears and ready to give up. Elizabeth Robinson Wiley not only solved my immediate issues but she gave me quick bursts of knowledge that didn't overwhelm me. I feel comfortable asking what might be dumb questions. She answers the question in a way I can understand and then she moves me just a bit along the learning curve. Today, I'm not scared of technology. I'm actually excited by the thing that used to frustrate the daylights out of me. She is amazing and just the right person for someone who overwhelmed with learning technology and the advice "just fool around with it" does not work!."
