"Marijean's insights and counsel have increased our understanding of the value of social media and improved our efficiency. She understands our limited capacity to devote to maintaining social media, and has taught us to think strategically about what is most valuable to communicate. As a result, we have seen substantial growth in our Twitter and Facebook followers. We are currently working with Marijean to understand what we can do as an organization to manage and promote our identity and the value of our work, rather than having just one or two individuals focusing on this effort. Every conversation with Marijean improves our social media literacy and competency; we have made measurable gains as a result."
