While I was at MaineToday.com, we contracted Shannon to help us assess our options in the classifieds markets. She worked closely with us to analyze our strengths and weaknesses, then helped us identify opportunities that would increase market share, awareness and, of course, revenue. During my time there, we were able to put several of Shannon’s recommendations into action and had excellent results from them. She worked tirelessly looking at or market, our resources and available opportunities and was extremely creative when devising possible courses of action for us. I would hire Shannon again in an instant. She was very helpful to us, as we worked to regain lost ground in a competitive market.” – Jason Scott, Systems Engineer at Bowdoin College
