Free From Mktg: Your Fort St. John Marketing Team

Marketing is just like building a house- you wouldn’t hire just one person to pour the foundation, install the electrical and plumbing, and handcraft all the finishing carpentry by themselves, right? That’s why you need a rockstar general contractor (hey, that’s me!) who brings together only the best in the biz to get the job done right. We’ve got the strategists, designers, content wizards, techies, developers, and media buyers all working in sync to build a brand that stands strong and looks good doing it. No DIY disasters here- just a team of dependable experts who get the job done right.

Vanessa

Vanessa believes that business owners need straightforward and honest marketing solutions- minus the empty promises, utter confusion, and overwhelm that can often accompany marketing pitches.
Her love affair with sales and marketing began organically in the food and beverage industry- organizing, advertising, and staffing promotional events and concerts. Since those early days, she worked her way up the ranks with independent companies and multi-national brands, learning the nuances of traditional and digital marketing practices and completing a Marketing and Management post-secondary program at the College of New Caledonia in Northern BC.
Vanessa recognizes the importance of a clear, concise, and unique brand story, and she found her niche helping business owners worldwide, in Canada, the United States, Jordan, and Australia, to solidify theirs.
Vanessa’s strengths and expertise are in unique strategies, the sales journey, SEO copywriting, and website creation. Her goals are always to deliver a cohesive, dynamic, and synergistic marketing experience.
