Marie Protomastro Patel is the Girl On The Ball. I provide Virtual Marketing Management. For a little over twenty five years (but who’s counting?) I have worked with large and small companies in operations, administration and have lots of marketing experience in several industries. Small businesses hire me as their part-time marketing manager. When you work on your own – as a solo professional or owner of a small business, it’s up to you to keep the business running smoothly, in addition to doing the work itself. It can be frustrating and time-consuming. Even when it does go well, it keeps you from the work you’d rather be doing. That’s where I come in. I handle all the details and all the back-end stuff – the things you hate doing– so that you can get back to the work you love and growing your business. Q: Why am I the girl on the ball? A: Because I literally sit on a large yoga ball at my desk! It keeps me sharp and figuratively “on the ball” all day long. I’ll be “on the ball”, looking forward to helping you doing some things like: - develop your marketing strategy – streamline and improve processes – increase social media engagement – improve websites and, – automate marketing
