Ashley Manias
Independent Marketing Consultant at Fresh.Marketing
Executive Marketing Consultant
Picture a curious and motivated child, a child that strikes up conversations easily with adults and creates weekly “business ideas”. She sells to neighbors, friends, and family. She is assertive, driven, and naturally comes in first for candy and magazine sales amongst her peers every year. Picture a child that naturally recruits others for her cause and is motivated by results. Now picture that child as an adult. She’s a leader and a manager, cultivating and expanding on the same basic skill set she recognized within herself early on.

The facts are these: The story above is a true story. That child was me. The curiosity and desire to learn, grow, and contribute to a “big picture” never ended. As an adult, I do what I love every day. I’ve learned that I can accomplish more by motivating others in a team setting. By understanding the difference between sales and marketing, I am able to optimize the relationship between the two. I develop sales processes, strategies, scripts, marketing plans, and promotions. I’m heavily involved with online marketing, SEO, pay-per-clicks, content creation, and the overall creative process.

Most importantly...

I am constantly searching for opportunities to increase business growth, the development growth of the team I’m supporting, and the personal, professional growth of myself.
Fresh.Marketing
As a marketing consultant, I analyze data and create and execute strategies that provide my clients with results. Every business has unique needs and different ideals as to whom their "dream clients" are and how to meet their needs. I assist many small businesses that typically do not have the budget for a full marketing department, but still need resources and expertise to accelerate growth. Each company is different and deserves more than cookie cutter solutions.
