Sharon Long Baerny
Marketing Maven
We Know Words
With a Master's in art history, Sharon was an art junkie, but she's now a marketing junkie, and an active member of both the DMA and the AMA. She's a voracious reader of books, newsletters and all things marketing related, and thinks Seth Godin walks on water. Sharon has spoken on persuasive prose to groups ranging from direct marketers to Rotarians to students at a local college. She has been written about in The Seattle Times and other local papers, and featured on the Creating Customer Evangelists Web site. Sharon is an incredible asset to our studio. She’s got one BIG brain! www.weknowwords.com
