“It was an honor to have Elayna as my guest. She is a branding/marketing expert and can really help individuals significantly elevate their social media results. If you are ‘stuck’, have no idea how to orchestrate your online marketing and finally understand how to get all your marketing working collaboratively, Elayna is the perfect person to support your efforts. ~ Bonnie Ross Parker, Author, Founder of The Joy Of Connecting

I found her to be consistently pleasant, tackling all of the webinar topics with dedication and positivity. Besides being a joy to work with, Elayna is able to present her knowledge on the topics with supporting creative ideas. She consistently communicates the benefits of the information she presents and has been well received by our webinar subscribers. Elayna has successfully presented several webinars for our company that have resulted in increased revenue. The webinars developed and implemented by Elayna have received positive feedback from several customers and have become some of our most popular programs. I personally enjoy working with Elayna; she is always very receptive and caring. I highly recommend Elayna Fernandez for any future projects she pursues.” ~ Katie Bryson, Editorial Manager, ExecSense
“Great Call yesterday with Elayna Fernandez! What a gifted lady. Here is the lesson I took away from yesterday. I don’t need to know everythingl I just need to know the right people to reach out to. There are many who say they can help, but their motive is in taking, not helping. Thanks Elayna for helping!! You are the best.” ~ Richard Flint
“Elayna was a kind, insightful, light-hearted, experienced, and educated guest on our podcast Small Business Success with Steve Strauss. Her professionalism as well as her understanding of her topic made her a perfect podcast guest. She is highly recommended. ~ Jonah Geil-Neufeld (Production Director at PAGATIM, a Portland OR-based Internet Radio company).
