I've been in the moving business for over 30 years and had absolutely no online marketing or PR presence. Mary changed all of that within months, and to my astonishment, grew my business 60% in the first year of working together. Her knowledge of integrated marketing, public relations, and best practices in business management has completely overhauled my business and allowed us to move into new markets successfully. I'm very grateful to her, and would highly recommend Maven Marketing Solutions to any business.

CEO / ABC Longhorn Moving

Through Mary’s marketing expertise and guidance, we were able to rebrand and reposition our small SaaS cybersecurity startup to successfully sell directly to large enterprises, as well as large consulting houses such as Deloitte. Her ability to refine messaging and create an integrated, strategic marketing program transformed our business and grew revenue by 400% in 12 months. Amazing. She was a true partner as a fractional CMO and helped us solidify our company and product as the industry leader in Salesforce cybersecurity. We’re truly grateful for her efforts and highly recommend her services to any organization looking to grow.

I approached Maven Marketing because we needed to update our image, our web presence and marketing in order to attract new customers to my restaurant. Maven helped me by listening to my concerns and guiding us through the process. The result was that our web site and social media have become major components in our marketing and we’ve attracted many new customers and accelerated our growth and profitability. I appreciate their attention to detail and level of personal service, which goes beyond what I expected from a marketing company. Working with Maven Marketing has been a very positive experience for Las Palomas Restaurant and I would recommend them to other businesses that need help to update and improve their marketing.

I had the pleasure of working with Mary when she first came to Austin, and signed up to perform the Public Relations function for Cleanovation 2010. Being new in town, Mary did an outstanding job navigating her way into the relevant media principals and acquired significant coverage for our event in local, national, and international media. Kudos Mary.

Tracey and Mary helped us through incredible changes in the last 18-24 months. As a 90+ year old company on the third generation, we had some historical helps and hazards. I was absolutely thrilled with what The Mavens were able to do for us as we rebranded, changed names, and relocated all within a month. The Mavens created and implemented a strategic marketing and PR plan to increase the company’s reach into new markets and helped us directly with PR, marketing, messaging, even some décor consultation to insure we had a customer friendly environment. They guided me through the rebranding process and recommended a creative firm who worked patiently to create a logo that embraces our history as well as our current and future presence. The Mavens then continued with our marketing efforts that including web updates, email campaigns and newsletter, and advertising calendar and budget. What the Mavens brought... Read More

What the Mavens brought to me was priceless, and I am forever appreciative for how Tracey and Mary both helped transition, brand and grow our business. They came highly recommended to us, and I highly recommend them to you.

Maven Marketing Solutions came in at a critical time to help us at Saks with a major marketing event. She was sensitive to the team, brought insight and created a spot on action plan we were able to deliver. Their professionalism, experience, network, and ability to understand not only our local store but omni-channel goal was very impressive.
