Sean Slaikeu2023-08-01Shine Marketing and Communications has worked with me on many aspects of my school marketing plans. We have worked with Megan on assessment of our marketing plan, evaluations of our social media platforms, we have created videos for marketing our school, and she has trained my staff in various social media marketing strategies and design methods. The money spent on this will pay dividends for years to come. Through all of this it was a lot of fun as well, Megan makes learning easy and creates products that make a lasting impact on clients, families, students, and more. Saint Rose of Lima Catholic School and this principal are happy to work with Megan and Shine Marketing!!Joann Meyer2023-07-26SHINE Marketing has been a great asset to our business. We've seen an increase in school inquiries and Megan has been kind enough to teach us a few tricks along the way! We appreciate her knowledge of the current trends and dedicated follow-through on all of her work. Thank you SHINE!Rachel Johnson2023-07-24SHINE has been an outstanding resource for our organization! Positive, informative, encouraging, and effective!mary davini2023-07-22SHINE Marketing & Communications does OUTSTANDING work. Megan is warm, engaged, dedicated, organized, brilliant, and professional. I work for a local school and came into my marketing position there with little experience. We were lucky enough to get a Marketing audit done by SHINE and the things I learned in just that small amount of time were incredible. She had carefully and thoughtfully planned ways to boost our school's awareness, guide us to a wonderful brand standard, and set us on a path to success. I have also been blessed to attend multiple training sessions led by her via webinars and in person and I am always impressed and blown away by her knowledge and creativity. She knows how to make your brand stand out and get noticed in the best way. She has taught me SO MUCH and I honestly think of her as a role model for marketing standards. Thanks in large part to all of SHINE's guidance and the tools Megan has given us as well as taught me, our enrollment for next year has increased significantly! I would recommend SHINE Marketing & Communications to ANYONE!Claire Shea2023-04-11I have worked with Megan as a School Marketing and Communications Director, and now as the Founder of SHINE. Her work is truly exceptional. She employs data-driven strategies in conjunction with her masterful knowledge of social media algorithms, marketing trends, and insane talent in design/visual media. At a university level, public and private schools have invested in marketing and media for years; nevertheless, K-12 schools have lagged in their funding and direct approach. SHINE Marketing is the answer to K-12 school's dreams. She knows the market, she understands the science, and she's got the wisdom to navigate both with incredible kindness, ease, and leadership.Annemarie Vega2023-03-08Megan is phenomenal to work with!

Megan offered to help us advertise this video even more. She helped us get on the local news and on a popular educator website. This really spread the word for us. When she sent me some ideas for advertising this on our social media they were much better than what we usually do with our social media. I would definitely ask for her help getting on local media and with social media in the future.Monica Steinmetz2023-02-25Absolutely the best marketing and communications partner!
