REFS, RECOS, & relationships

Just a few of the folks I've been lucky enough to work with, for, or some combination thereof.  I'm incredibly flattered by — and proud of — these recommendations. I'll always do my best to live up to them.

Conley is the Delta Force of freelance. Doesn’t matter the platform. The timeline. The odds. Whatever the assignment, Conley will get it done beautifully and professionally. In a world gone mad, what more can you ask for?

Conley is an idea machine. She is a pleasure to work with and she understands all aspects of general and digital consumer work. She always explores all aspects of a creative brief and will always end up with several strong options for creative that is always on brief. She is a lovely, enthusiastic and energetic work mate and has a great sense of humor that is wonderful to have on any team. She is a solid, strong presenter and has a great attention to detail as well.

Love working with her!

If you are looking for one Hell of a Creative Director on the copy side, then look no further than Conley. She is the entire package. Strategic thinker. Blue sky concepter. Strong work ethic. Brilliant wordsmith. Flawless presenter. Conley can do it all. Her incredible sense of humor and strong creative steered many a client from the “dark side” to the “path of creative righteousness.” Many of the new business wins came from Conley’s efforts. She is always thinking of group morale. No matter if it is simply defending creative ideas, corralling insane timelines or giving back to the community. I love working with the “Conster.” She is an incredible member of any group.
