“Elaine is, plain and simple: highly talented. She has an innate (and excellent) strategic perspective on what makes a business successful. Further, what sets Elaine apart from others is her ability to quickly and effectively assimilate various bits of data together to build new insights and, importantly, to bring those insights to life via exceptional copy writing skills. Elaine is smart, funny, proactive, and a pleasure to work with.”
Harold Weiss, BrandOutlook, LLC
"Elaine was a great help in [our] transitioning from one business focus to another. She took great pains to understand our needs, and was very thorough in researching our market. Her services involved strategic planning, market research, graphic design, copy, preparation of business plan, web development, and logo creation. One of her most valued qualities was her tenacity in prosecuting an idea, often in disagreement with her client, but always informed. I never doubted that she always had our best interests in mind, and with her integrity and honesty she is a great addition to any team."
Jim Gould, Community Funding Partners/iTowns
“Elaine provides a valuable service to the nonprofit community with her marketing knowledge. I am always impressed with her delivery of information, her willingness to share her expertise with others as a community member, and the professional quality of her materials.”
Bonnie Wright, St. Luke’s Health Initiative, TAP Program
“It was a pleasure working with Elaine. She managed our project well and all were pleased with the [end] product.”
Bernard A. Gaffaney, Association of Corporate Counsel, Southern California Chapter
“Having Elaine Fogel’s marketing and communications expertise has been a tremendous bonus for us. Our organization is very ‘lean and mean’ and that means we have a small staff. Elaine is a valuable consultant for us. When we need to work on a strategic plan or brainstorm for a brochure, we call Elaine and she immediately helps us stay focused. When Elaine tackles a job, there is no one better to help keep the focus and be productive.”
Elizabeth Tregor-Dokken, Associate Director, Arizona Chapter of The AJC
“Elaine is excellent to work with. She is constantly keeping herself and her company up to date with all the new trends in marketing. She looks for the best way to maximize every dollar in her budget to get the most ROI possible. I have been impressed with her ideas, her tenacity and her ability to see the "Big Picture" and not just the moment.”
Barb King, owner, Barb King Marketing & Promotions, SIG moderator for American Marketing Association
“Elaine consulted with us on branding, internal and external communications, and public relations, and I found her to be a communications and marketing specialist of the highest caliber. Elaine is an analytical thinker and possessed the ability to translate complex business needs into feasible solutions. Her background in the non-profit sector was evident as she quickly focused on our need to emphasize building effective and strong, member, supporter, and donor relationships.
We found her resourcefulness as valuable as her in depth needs assessment, and willingness to provide ongoing support as we developed and initiated strategies and projects. Corporations or associations looking for someone with vision, drive, and native intelligence; someone on who they can completely rely, will be delighted to have Elaine on their team.”
E. E. (Liz)Condie, COO, Director of Communications and Fund Development, Operation Migration
"Elaine's passion to help others succeed is evident the first time you meet her. Gabriel's Angels retained Elaine to review collateral materials and our branding strategy. She gave us her invaluable insight and thus we have implemented several changes. She is highly recommended!"
Pam Gaber, Founder/President, Gabriel’s Angels, Inc.
"Elaine had a tremendous impact on my spring 2009 Marketing Strategies capstone course. This was a course I had not previously taught: I adopted an NFP project to "sub-brand" the American Red Cross blood donation division with emphasis on platelet-donation education…After listening to Elaine's MarketingProfs webinar in March 2009, I just had to get all 80 students exposed to her vision, expertise, and contagious expression of the importance of engagement within the NFP sector.
Elaine masterfully guided me through NFP-specific tactics and previous marketing campaigns: she effortlessly donated her time and energy to my students. Through Elaine, I learned the absolute spirit evoked by a NFP orientation, and true to the Loyola mission in Jesuit education, it is my hope our marketing curriculum can aggressively expand into NFP course offerings. We are already on the way there: the Liquid Gold project was profiled in the summer 2009 Loyola Magazine.
To express my gratitude here for Elaine's contribution is truly unrealistic, as I admire her professional affiliation and steadfast promotion of NFP organizations beyond a simple text endorsement. Consider yourself extremely fortunate to cross-paths with her: via blog, webinar, and maybe, just maybe in person. All my best to Elaine, and many, many thanks on behalf of the Department of Marketing, Loyola University, and the Class of 2009 which experienced a greater capstone experience with her support on board."
Stacy B. Neier, Clinical Professor, Loyola University Chicago
“Elaine offers excellent marketing and communications skills that are forward thinking and provide her clients with results they can measure. Her connections within the industry are an asset and help bring together key players in making sure the needs of the client are not only met, but exceeded.”
Brian Kon, Sales & Marketing Manager, March of Dimes (Canada)
“I worked hands on with Elaine in her position as National Marketing & Communications Director at Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. She was a total professional and took her job very serious and if given the opportunity to work alongside her again I would jump at the opportunity.”
Jeff Toledano, National Manager, Funds Development, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation
“I have been using Allen Fogel and Solutions Marketing and Consulting to help me with promotional products for my business over the past several years. Allen a true professional; he is very responsive to my requests, but more importantly, his ideas are current and have really helped get me noticed with my clients and prospective clients.”
Jay R. Spector
