Lindsey Minella Media Relations Manager, Humana Inc. “Clark Marketing is an invaluable resource for me. Whether it’s developing a full campaign plan, writing key media materials, reaching out to media or even taking time to brainstorm ideas, Clark Marketing is always reliable and always delivers. Both Valerie and Kitty are thoughtful in their work. The quality of what they deliver is excellent, and I believe that’s because of the time they take to research, think things through and talk with me honestly about concepts and objectives – all while staying within my budget. I trust Valerie’s opinion very much, and have come to rely on her as more of a mentor/team member than external vendor.”
Kristine Stefansic Manager B2B/e-Commerce, American Express "Thank you for the excellent research and analysis you put together for American Express Establishment Services earlier this year. Not only was the data you provided thorough, but the timeliness of your results and your periodic updates to me throughout the research period were commendable. Thanks again for your great work!"
Michael Crompton Owner/The Excel Leadership Group “I commissioned Clark Marketing to develop an analysis of the Central Illinois market to assess the potential for executive coaching, leadership training and related services. Not only did I obtain detailed information that confirmed the potential for my company’s services, but I received much more in return for my investment. Clark Marketing offered action-oriented recommendations for moving forward within the plan. In short, the plan has served as the centerpiece of my marketing strategy going forward. Thank you for your exemplary work and diligence in creating a plan with such insight and detail.”
