“Our companies have utilized Joanne’s services for the last several years. Even though Joanne is a “consultant” with her own business and clients, when she is working for you she is part of your team and acts as a full-time employee along-side your management group and employees. She energizes the team with her knowledge, out of the box thinking, and challenges the group to strive for more. Her knowledge in the field of marketing and communications, along with her understanding of the market, provides your business with a definite edge over your competition.”
Kenneth J. Huebner, Vice President & CFO, The Cotler Group [Mountain Valley Golf Courses, Mountain Valley Weddings, Season Restaurant at Mountain Valley, Mountain Valley Special Events & Banquets, Comfort Inn & Suites (Choice Hotel), MainStay Suites (Choice Hotel) and VIP Gambling Tours]
“I've known Joanne for over 25 years. I worked with her when she was the Advertising & Marketing Director for both the Yuengling Brewery and the Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, and I was the Director of Advertising & Marketing for the Pottsville REPUBLICAN. Joanne is creative, she possesses an outstanding business sense and she understands how important it is for a business to retain and gain a customer base. But what I admire most about Joanne is her enthusiasm and the passion she has for her business.”
-Henry H. Nyce, Publisher, The REPUBLICAN & Herald
“Joanne Parulis surprises me. Having worked in Trust Banking sales, business development and management for almost twenty years, I collaborated with many excellent marketing professionals. I don't expect to hear anything new, and Joanne gives me new ideas…she understands marketing! I met Joanne professionally. We began to talk about her business and my efforts to provide families a non-adversarial choice for resolving disputes. She listened well and agreed to help our fledgling initiative. I'm grateful for the immense help Joanne has provided and continues to provide our Collaborative Law Practice, in developing professional and public awareness of choices available to families for resolving legal disputes. Her approach to marketing is thoughtful, creative and practical. She is a valuable asset to any business and/or organization with which she is associated.”
-Attorney Diane D. Hitzemann, Mediator & Counselor at Law
“I have worked with Joanne for many years. I helped recruit her to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center after learning of her outstanding credentials. I was certainly very impressed when she shared with me the portfolio of her work. After successfully recruiting her to the hospital, she certainly did not disappoint. She transformed and professionally led all of the hospital's public relations and marketing, making those efforts not only outstanding in the community but also in the healthcare field. I subsequently utilized Joanne's services in the advent and ongoing marketing of my personal business, after leaving the hospital. We worked collaboratively to create a marketing plan that clearly separated my business from other regional competitors. The advertising and marketing plan continues to be very identifiable and clearly differentiates the business, now owned by my wife.
Finally, Joanne's services were actively utilized in my successful campaign for County Commissioner. Joanne's work included design of campaign materials, including brochures, signs, posters, pictures, biographies, and other handouts. In addition she was instrumental in the development of weekly press packets which accompanied our speeches at appearances and rallies. Her work allowed our campaign to successfully and proactively disseminate our message.”
