Michael Proud

Before we met…

Mike was a phenomenal musician with years of experience writing and performing his music but he was struggling to get his online presence up and running. He was starting to line up gigs locally and needed material online to refer venues to. He was feeling a little discouraged.

What we realized …

When we first began working together, we had to overcome Mike’s natural resistance to talking about himself and his music. He was struggling to see himself as the professional that he clearly was.

And now, the WOW…

Together, we developed his professional image, set his goals and established his brand voice. Once we set up his site and brand, we began developing his social presence @mikesmauitime. He does his best work when he let’s his quirky personality and great tunes fly!

My biggest issue was that I didn’t fully comprehend the logic of computers and technology. Wendy’s ability to understand my shortcomings while recognizing my needs has been of immeasurable help in helping me understand how marketing tech tools operate and how to use them. As a result of our work together, my followers are way up on both Facebook and Instagram. The social handle we chose with a sense of history and humor is catching on with folks. My overall view has shifted considerably. I really thought it was all overrated, but now I approach web use and social media access with a more positive attitude. >> The best part of our work together was Wendy’s willingness to listen and be honestly interested in not just my ideas but her follow up related to results. >> I felt listened to and understood. She saw details in the presentation that I may never have considered. When I’m exploring other music sites, I have a deep appreciation for all the work Wendy’s done and I hope to continue to work with her. >> I give Plum Nelly a solid 5 out of 5 stars and a solar flare to boot.
