Stay tuned for the next workshop coming up this March!

Paula Mahony

Marketing Strategy, Words@Work!

Paula Mahony is passionate about strategic marketing. Over the past 25 years, she has witnessed first-hand the power of connecting a good product or company with the audience that needs it most. She's seen the difference that an organized marketing plan can make. And she's also seen how businesses flounder without strong marketing direction.

The marketing strategies that she employs are derived from the proven techniques utilized by big business (and big budget)  -- part guerrilla marketing, part careful planning, completely effective. She's learned, listened and tested while in the employ of large companies like NEBs and Georgetown Collection. Since establishing Words@Work in 1992, she has added to her skill set with clients like QVC, collectiblestoday.com, Aetna and Cuddledown.

Paula believes that marketing is everything and everything is marketing. In order to prosper in today's economy, businesses must be knowledgeable, prepared and savvy.
