I help simplify the complex world of social media and share the secrets to integrating social media into your business. I jumpstart your business’s social media initiatives and give you the inspiration you need to engage, connect, and ultimately build relationships with your customers.

I started marketing businesses on the Internet in 1998. By 1999 I was the VP of Marketing for a top-ranked website. Today, I am a marketing and social media consultant for business and entrepreneurs.

My dedication and professionalism has not only earned me award recognition but also successfully increased many companies’ revenues and market share. With nearly 20 years as a marketing professional, I have worked with Loblaws, Hasbro, Microsoft, Ivanhoe Cambridge, Yellow Pages Group, and Alberta Ballet.

I live and breathe the internet, checking site analytics, connecting on social media platforms and planning strategies. Offline I spend time speaking at seminars and workshops, and providing private consulting on social media and web marketing.

Workshop Testimonials

Some wonderful folks who have attended my seminars have shared their feedback:

“I attended Gail’s half day introduction to social media workshop in September 2009 and also hired her as a one-on-one consultant to assist us with our social media strategy. Both the workshop and the one-on-one consultation provided excellent value in discovering ways to navigate social media successfully – something I can pass on to my clients. I look forward to working with Gail and having her work with our clients at Prairie Sun Creations in the near future.” – S. Methuen

Gail’s social media seminar was the best seminar I have been to in a long time. It had relevant information, she delivered it in a clear and concise manner, she made it real to my business and I really got alot of value out of it. I have already implemented her social media concepts into my business and have seen results! Thank you Gail for adding value to my business and expanding my Marketing Machine.” - J. Cordray
