Appeal Marketing has made it to seven lucky years in business.
There have been a few significant moves in year seven. I stopped my work as a part-time account manager to make time for leading a regional public education advocacy group. Member districts include superintendents, business managers, and school board members, providing a variety of perspectives that shape our advocacy work. Public education has always been near and dear to my heart, so I am thrilled to apply my school board and marketing experience to support schools.
While the advocacy group has become the bulk of my work, I continue to support my inaugural client, the Greater Menomonee Falls Foundation, provide email marketing help for an electrical distributor, and facilitate design projects for Community Smiles Dental. Altogether, it is a fun mix of projects that help my amazing clients.
My flexible schedule allows me to help with family logistics and attend my kids’ activities. With a high schooler and middle schooler, it feels busier than ever. Carpools are essential these days. Somehow, Team Olig carves out family time every week, which is important.
Here are some of my reasons to celebrate in several areas of my life:

Seven Years of Appeal Marketing
I am excited to keep running Appeal Marketing for seven years. I am grateful for the friendships with clients and connections. To this day, I still stay in touch with some of the first entrepreneurs I met when we were starting up.
Year seven has been pretty great so far! Thanks to my family, friends, clients, colleagues, and connections for being so supportive!
