Mary W.

Executive VA & Social Media Manager | Lead Gen & Market Research

I help experts, coaches and founders get seen: I book their speaking engagements, grow their businesses through social media and keep their calendar running. Recent results for my clients: • 14 speaking sessions booked with 12 organisations in 7 months: state conferences, CME faculty, school events and a university grand rounds • A Facebook page I created from scratch reached 2,035,029 views in under 6 months • Google Business Profile searches up 55% and direction requests up 48% WHAT I DO FOR YOU ✔ Speaking engagement research: conferences, associations, hospitals, schools, podcasts and corporate events in your niche ✔ Outreach and follow-up: tailored pitches, speaker applications and a 2–3 touch follow-up until you get an answer ✔ Calendar and inbox: scheduling calls, confirming bookings, keeping every detail in one tracker ✔ Social media and communication strategy: content plans, posters in Canva, short videos edited in CapCut, posting and engagement ✔ Market and opportunity research: clear, sourced summaries you can act on WHAT CLIENTS SAY "Because of her hard work, my exposure to speaking opportunities has grown exponentially." "Mary is very responsive, professional, friendly, and develops a relationship with clients to understand what they need." HOW WE START 1. A 20-minute call about your goals, audience and tools 2. Within the first week: your first opportunity list or content plan 3. Weekly updates so you always know what's booked, posted and next Behind this is 16+ years of program coordination for nonprofits, businesses, individuals and government, so I'm organised, reliable and used to working across time zones. What would you like more of this quarter: speaking stages, a stronger online presence, or more time back in your week?
