Ashley Zeckman

“Ashley is smart, driven, and most of all fun. She knew the exact issues that she needed to solve and came to us with potential solutions that we could help her with. She was incredibly tuned into the needs of her team, both as a whole and as individuals. I had the opportunity to partner with Ashley on a training course and she put all herself into it. She focused on making sure that everyone that participated had a voice, was able to get something from it and stay engaged. I look forward to collaborating with Ashley again in the near future.”

“Ashley is a smart, savvy, and incredibly driven professional. In our work together, we built some cutting edge competitive research at her direction using AI to identify messaging gaps for a company about to go public, a use case rarely seen in communications. She cares deeply about the people she manages and fights tenaciously for them. Ashley's also a powerful business leader who grew her client base and dramatically increased overall revenue for her firm. Finally, she is one of the marketing field's leading thinkers on B2B influencer marketing, second to none; we built several models under her direction that created never-before-seen insights. I would recommend Ashley for any leadership position at an organization focused on growth without hesitation or condition.”

“Ashley is a strong marketer, dynamic public speaker, and influencer marketing expert. When we worked together on projects in her role as a consultant for Treasure Data (in her role as Senior Director of Digital Strategy at TopRank), she had creative ideas, was able to connect us with the right influencers, and was always adding a ton of value. I was lucky to have worked with her!”

“Ashley is the type of person that anyone would be honored to have in their corner and on their team. She was an integral part in helping get a new company initiative off the ground - from the start she was incredibly strategic, open to different ideas, and has a priceless ability to connect all the dots to ensure a plan makes sense, challenges are resolved, execution is successful and all parties are happy with the result. Her ability to pull together multiple pieces and motivate varying teams to meet seemingly impossible deadlines in astounding. I would relish at the opportunity to work with her more in the future and would recommend her for just about any project or role; not only because of her professional expertise but also her personal energy, high-quality character and can do attitude. She is a phenomenal woman to know. ”

“I've been staring at this blinking cursor for a few long minutes here... because I'm not sure where to start. I could recommend Ashley as a speaker (she knows her stuff and is comfortable sharing it). She's spoken a few times to speak at MarketingProfs events. I could talk about her as a writer. (She's clear and concise.) I could mention Ashley's organizational chops (she's shepherded me through a complex series of project deadlines). (That effort was often more akin to wrangling kittens than you might imagine.) I could talk about her creativity as a marketer (she's great to brainstorm with!) I could also talk about our mutual love of dogs. Or I could just keep it simple and share that she's a truly great individual and someone I admire, respect, and enjoy supporting and mentoring in her career path. So you see my conundrum? She's all those things. It adds up to this: I recommend Ashley wholeheartedly. In all of it.”

“Ashley Zeckman was a speaker at a conference I organized called the Social Brand Forum. Her talk was the perfect blend for a digital marketing event. She had several actionable insights that the audience could implement right away packaged in a fun and creative way. The audience learned and laughed during her highly engaging talk. She’s a great fit for any event where an audience is looking to take their digital marketing to the next level. ”

“I first met Ashley while she was working at TopRank Online Marketing. She was clearly a gifted writer and provided impressive coverage of sessions at SES Conference & Expo events, which were also run by the parent company of Search Engine Watch (SEW), Incisive Media, in addition to writing several great blog posts on the TopRank blog. I was excited to bring Ashley on as a contributor to SEW's Social section starting in 2012. Her posts created lots of great social engagement and were shared thousands of times. In May 2014 I was thrilled to add Ashley to the news team. Covering news in the search industry can be extremely challenging, as there are many technical details and history to address, but impressively, Ashley was a quick learner and picked up our writing style easily, and turned in posts that were to the point, were accurate, and provided context. In terms of pageviews, from May-July, Ashley was fifth most read writer on SEW. Regrettably, I was only able to work with her on news for a few months before I resigned from SEW. I will gladly work with her again if the opportunity ever arises. She is extremely smart, eager, hard-working, and reliable and did an excellent job for us. If you get the chance, hire her. You won't be disappointed.”

“Ashley's passion and dedication is second to none. In my career I've rarely seen anyone who puts 110% all the time. During my stint at TopRank, I watched Ashley put together promotional materials and full-out eBooks on really short notice. Throughout each project, the quality of the finished product was top-notch despite the short deadlines. Each project I saw her work on went viral. Her contributions keeping the TopRank Online Marketing Blog running and full of fresh content helped lead the blog to numerous Top-10 marketing blog lists, including a few #1 positions. Her professional work ethic and ability to launch new campaigns and products would be an asset to any team.”

“I worked briefly with Ashley while subcontracting to TopRank Marketing, and found her cool, calm, proactive, and personable -- someone who reads between the lines, thinks on her feet, and thinks ahead. The word "briefly" is not a qualifier -- I mean it didn't take me long at all to decide she's a "hire" to any company serious about business.”

“Ashley was very helpful in the launch of multiple client projects and in building a marketing and social media platform for our customers. She was extremely resourceful and was great at meeting client expectations and deadlines. Our sales and consulting efforts were made easier because of Ashley's help.”

“Ashley was a welcome addition to our office. She adapted very quickly to our business procedures and contributed to the smooth efficient overall operation of the office.Pro-active and a self starter. We were sorry to lose her.”

“It's been a pleasure working with Ashley and the rest of the team at Reier Group. Ashley has been extremely professional and very timely with her correspondence. Having clients like Ashley and the rest of Reier Group makes it a joy to come to work everyday.”
