Testimonials
“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, nobody could rightfully not be grateful for your responsiveness, the quality of your work, and the direct honesty you bring to a project.” Jim Gould, Fundraising Solutions
"A consummate professional focused on the customer's needs, Elaine comes to the table prepared to listen with a view to problem solve with you. In addition to being talented, Elaine is Collaborative, Creative and Committed. She is an exceptional relationship builder, going ‘above & beyond’ in the development and implementation of programs to ensure the client's satisfaction." Iliana Arapis, Communications Manager, Transamerica Life
“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 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.
“We hired Elaine Fogel to develop a marketing plan and create a new image for our marketing materials. Elaine was creative and patient throughout the process, with the result being a fabulous new brand look for our business materials. We highly recommend her marketing services.” Deborah & Bill Mitchell (The Mitchells) West USA Realtors
“If I summon the modifiers I’d use to describe that ‘special teacher’ who first inspired me, they read like my idea of a bestseller: warm; personable; great listener; knowledgeable; global perspective; passionate; wise; and demanding high standards. Elaine Fogel brings each of those qualities to the forum as a presenter. Her interactive presentation on branding integrated a broad range of data, anecdotal illustrations, deep understanding and more than a dash of humor. She brought all of this information to a meaningful conclusion — and all I wanted was more! Elaine is that rare teacher who leaves me hungry to continue learning, applying the lessons, and developing my skills so that my organization’s clients will benefit. I loved her workshop and will profit from its lessons for years to come!” Marj McKinty, Development Director, Lincoln Medical Education Partnership
“Elaine is a dynamic, entertaining and engaging presenter. Her knowledge of branding in the nonprofit sector is vast and well-researched. She presents this important topic with easy to understand language and examples. Non-marketing professionals walk away with a greater understanding of the importance of brand recognition, while those in the field are able to immediately apply her suggestions and recommendations. AFP members attending her program rated her as exceptional; stating that she was knowledgeable, she provided “meaty” information and her humor and enthusiasm held their attention.” Christin Valentini, 2005 Education Chair, Association of Fundraising Professionals, Greater Arizona Chapter
“For people starting their own business, marketing is vital to success, yet is often one of the trickiest parts of the business. A majority of requests for one-on-one support from SELF deal with marketing. Your presentation clearly defined branding’s role in marketing and provided a much deeper understanding of the concept for attendees. Furthermore, your presentation gave both examples and tools that attendees could learn from and begin to implement that same day. The response to your presentation was wonderful. Throughout the hour, participants were taking notes furiously, trying to capture every nugget you offered. I got lots of positive feedback on both the material and your enthusiastic teaching style.” Sonia Singh, Self-Employment Loan Fund, Phoenix, AZ |
