“In November 2000, the Carver Community Center, Inc. selected Marketing Solutions Inc. of MD to undertake a feasibility study, funded by the USDA-Rural Development Program. We selected Marketing Solutins from the field of competition including large national firms because of its qualitative research expertise, experience in community analysis and development, outstanding recommendations from clients, and the personal involvement of the firm's principal in our project. We were not disappointed. Marketing Solutions lived up to its reputation and produced an outstanding study full of valuable insights and practical recommendations. Moreover, its President and key staff spent much more than the scheduled time helping us to achieve publicity and fund-raising initiatives – instrumental to advancing the project.”

Our 50-person, not-for-profit agency has been transformed as a result of our partnership with Mary Colburn-Green ! Her energy, dynamic vision, and strategic focus has turned us into a powerhouse of social programming. We have a new name, new look, new location and a vibrant new identity in our community! Our business has grown, our customers like who we are, and staff is energized by our new identity. Mary was a joy to work with! She kept to her commitments and guided us through the market research and strategic marketing process effortlessly. Her graphic implementation and marketing materials we're super. Her PR plan for expanding our services and celebrating our 75 th anniversary was highly creative yet affordable. I would highly recommend her to any organization that is ready and willing to make the big changes! Thank you, Mary.
