COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALTIES

In a competitive marketplace where the fight for people’s attention is fierce, it is critical to stand out from the crowd in order to succeed. Companies need to identify and articulate their key messages and use the most effective methods for delivery.

Storytelling

Harness your corporate story in ways that move audiences to action.  Present your content in ways that will strike a chord with your stakeholders.

Web Design

Crafting a website is a lot like writing a novel.  There’s a theme and a plot line that guides the user through a narrative that (hopefully) leads to a happy ending.

Photography

Our brains are hardwired to process images quickly.  Complimenting your story with imagery will make a bigger impact.

Video

There’s power in connecting with your audience visually.  Video impacts internal – and external audiences alike.

Social Media

Well-implemented social media marketing campaigns can produce remarkable results for your business.

SEO

Organic SEO produces the best return on investment, will boost your website’s online visibility and generate business.

TESTIMONIALS

Angela Poston

I have worked with Mariane for two years at Unimin Corporation. Mariane manages our company communications and has done an excellent job during her years with Unimin. Mariane is a creative, detail-oriented, and savvy communications manager with a passion for the connecting our industry. She’s great at working independently and can produce high-level work. Her ability to multitask allows her to contribute to the team effort while remaining in control of the situation. She’s an excellent writer and editor with a facility for translating industrial information into engaging content. Mariane is also a fantastic photographer who has a gift at capturing the heart and feelings of her subjects.

While I’ve communicated regularly with Mariane remotely via Skype chat and email, I’ve gotten to know her as a reliable employee with exceptional communications skills. Mariane elevated our company’s aesthetic by creating enhanced designs in the development of our web page. She has been a tremendous asset and a great talent on our team.

On a more personal level, Mariane is a vibrant and all around lovely person. She has worked hard to get where she is today, and she truly deserves all the success that has come her way as a parent and managing communications for Unimin Corporation.

“During my tenure at Unimin as their Chief Operating Officer, Mariane was the go-to person for all forms of corporate communications. She possesses the rare ability to quickly understand the style of messaging required, will utilize multiple forms of appropriate media and deliver a superior work product. Mariane has a “can do” attitude whereby nothing keeps her from accomplishing great work quickly and thoughtfully. She is the consummate professional, willing to adapt to changing environments and consistently stay focused on meeting customer expectations. If I was in the market today for a head of corporate communications and a key partner that can be trusted to do great work, Mariane would be my top choice.”

Mariane is the strongest Communications professional I have had the privilege to work with. Her work-ethic is top-notch and she is a delight to have as a teammate. She single-handedly created our internal communications function and provided an immense turnaround for our corporate culture through her personal actions and the projects she ran. She leads by example and is trusted and relied upon by the entire organization. She is a great person and a tremendous professional with the ability to succeed on her own or while leading a team. Mariane truly is rare in her ability to produce results while also leading with compassion and care.

Mariane is one of the best co-workers that I’ve worked with.  She is 100% professional in her work  and brings innovative ideas to the projects we work on.  She is always positive and always gives her best smile and efforts.

“Wow, I cannot say enough good things about Mariane! She brings positivity and caring to every project and situation. Her motivation is contagious. I have experienced it first hand and seen it in others working with her how she continually brings out the best in people. I think it would be impossible not to work hard and bring your A-game for Mariane because she is always doing the same. Additionally, she has exceptional creativity a unique approach to communication. It always seems that she can take things to the next level of greatness and professionalism. In her time working at Unimin (now Covia) she completely turned around our communications for the better and it continues to improve every day under her stewardship. I am very proud and fortunate to work with Mariane! She is simply the best at what she does!”
