Workshop & Strategy Testimonials
"Marlynn's social media and communciations strategy workshops are packed full of great content. She is one of only a few providers who I have felt really gets it right when distinguishing basic or "101" or basic content from advanced content. In her 101 courses, she makes sure no one is left behind on any technical glitches, and covers all the basic "science" of the subject. Her advanced courses focus more on the "art" of communications and emphasize strategy and planning. She is a knowledgeable, thorough, and accessible presenter. I highly recommend her workshops.”

"Urban Bliss’ Building Buzz course was packed with useful information about generating interest from customers and the media in who you are and what your business has to offer. Marlynn was an energetic instructor who gave expert advice about everything from building your brand to courting (and navigating) the media. I especially loved her tips about building buzz via social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Marlynn was full of ideas about how to create business pages and profiles that would not just attract customers, but keep them interested and interacting with you. I finished the course feeling inspired, informed, and ready to tackle the job of promoting my organization."

"I attended Marlynn's workshop on developing an annual communications plan. I got a lot of value out of the program -- plenty of good information and an upbeat presentation. I left feeling energized and confident about a task I find daunting. Marlynn is an excellent presenter. Very organized and knowledgeable, able to roll with tangents as they came up, and equally adept at teaching and facilitating group discussion."

“I have been in a workshop with Marlynn and have hired her to assist with social media networking as well. She has a deep understanding of social media and does an excellent job communicating with her clients on all levels. She has a gift of assessing each person's business on a personal level while keeping it very simple, creative and consistent. Her workshops are fabulous - I hope to attend more in 2010."

Design Testimonials
"Marlynn was hired to create advertising and promotion pieces for my real estate business. Her creativity and detailed knowledge of design allowed her to provide me with exactly what I was looking for. Marlynn is very prompt and conscience with her work and I will be using her again, as well as recommending her to other professionals.”
-Francesca Novak, Realtor
“Few designers are able to unearth to the essence of an organization and then represent it visually. Marlynn doesn’t impose her personal design aesthetic, but rather uncovers an organization’s brand and then creates marketing pieces that really ‘pop.’ Plus, she is a joy to work with.”
-Sunshine Morrison
Principal, Radiance Communications
“For years, I was somewhat hesitant to hand out my business cards at networking events. My organization has grown phenomenally, but our design was stuck in the past. Event Bliss re-designed our corporate identity and the results are truly amazing. I am absolutely delighted and recommend them highly.”
