I have worked with Marsha Leest since 2006. I have seen her work as a writer, editor, and marketer. These are the reasons I value her work:
1. Stories, not words. Marsha understands that people read stories, not words. I have seen her take manuscripts that were dull and data-driven and edit them into interesting and valuable articles.
2. People, not just productivity. When you work with Marsha, she won’t treat you like “just another client.” She won’t watch the clock. She’s not trying to screw you for a buck. Yes, Marsha is professional, but she’s also personable. She takes a real interest in the people she works with. I’ll warn you now; you may hire Marsha to do your marketing, but you’re going to end up with someone who’ll watch out for you for life.
3. Depth, not glitz. A lot of marketing these days is about sparkle. Glitz. Social media. Marsha understands those things, but she makes sure that what’s underneath–the story about your firm–is the real story.
Marsha Leest is a gem: she’s seen it all, she’s a true innovator, and she “gets it.” I strongly recommend her.

When I found myself with a lengthy writing project and no time to do it, my first thought was a pick up the phone and call Marsha. She was there to rescue me and helped us turn out a top notch piece. From interviewing the necessary parties to multiple drafts to working her way through editor comments, she handled the process from beginning to end. Marsha is a solid resource that I can count on to continuously turn out professional work for my firm.
