Hi, my name is Courtenay Pitcher. I live in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada. My blog VernonGirl.com is a division of my company The Original Lava Marketing Co. which I opened in 1999.
I enjoy helping you improve your online and print marketing. I can help you create a brand (logo, corporate identity), develop marketing materials (flyers, one-sheets, websites, business cards) or improve your overall marketing strategy. Whether it's from scratch, or you have existing marketing materials in place, you'll find that I'm professional, fun and affordable. (Let's keep it fun for sure!..Life is too short.) Look at my marketing and branding portfolio.
I have worked a lot with professional speakers, real estate agents and business coaches. I've also worked with business owners in tourism, audiology, optometry, opthalmology, heavy equipment, wine kit manufacturing, beer manufacturing, non-profit, high tech, family fun, wood products, healing, and...well...I've probably forgotten a few industries.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Leisure and Tourism from the University of Calgary and about fifteen years experience in marketing (with about twelve of them being online marketing). In 1995 I was lucky to get a great job in marketing straight out of university. Then, I transitioned into owning my own company.
In 2003, I wrote and self-published a 170 page paperback called: Secrets of Internet Marketing: Streamline, promote, communicate and sell more effectively on-line.
My family is most important to me. I live with my husband of twenty years, Shawn and our two boys. I live twenty minutes from Silver Star Mountain Resort and I love to ski double black diamond runs (if you are not a skier, that means I like to ski the big bumps). In the summer, you can find me boating on Okanagan or Kalamalka Lake, pulling weeds in my garden or riding my mountain bike up at Silver Star with my family.
You can contact me by emailing me at info@vernongirl.com or by phone at 250-558-1176.
