As a department head of a large multidiscipline Architecture & Engineering company, I have worked with many professionals in the marketing department. When I retired, Oana helped me launch a new career as a teacher and author. This was a totally different path for me, and I needed help at a very basic level. Her understanding of the analytical side of marketing was obvious, but she recognized that I needed help at a more basic nuts-and-bolts level. She took the time to understand me and produced content and narrative that presented me in the same way I saw myself, but with the touch of an artist. However, it was not this mix of technical proficiency with artistic expression that impressed me the most. It was how she took the job seriously, but not herself. She is effective and a joy to work with.

I’m so glad Oana was able to support our marketing efforts. Our company needed help promoting a new glamping property in Arizona. We enlisted Oana to write a series of blog posts showcasing the property and area attractions. We’re a lean company and I didn’t have time to hold anyone’s hand on this project. Oana joined me on location, created great content, provided beautiful photos, conducted interviews and completely understood our brand voice and personality. She’s turnkey and such a pro—exactly what we needed. Her blog posts were well written, visually engaging and quickly sent my way. And, she went above and beyond by creating social media posts, and sharing ideas for additional content and marketing strategies. Can’t recommend her enough!

I have worked with Oana a number of times over the last few years and have always found her to be smart, well prepared and insightful. She has the ability to get things done and keep the ball moving forward under sometimes difficult circumstances. She is also a real pleasure to work with.

Oana is an excellent writer who brings passion and grace to all of her assignments. Under my direction at “Cityview,” Knoxville’s city magazine, Oana was the author of many wellness-focused articles, covering diverse topics such as how to fight colds and strengthen the immune system; why to eat healthy foods such as cabbage, orange and cruciferous vegetables, and bananas; and where to go for the best smoothies in town. Oana also interviewed local East Tennessee farmers and chefs—and offered the best of the best recipes from around town and across the globe (Oana’s Romanian background gave her articles a worldly flavor). Oana always stayed focused and produced colorful, creative, and reader-friendly articles; she takes direction well and is enterprising and dependable. Oana is articulate, self-assured, and an excellent collaborator.
Steven Friedlander, Editor-in-Chief—Cityview Magazine
Oana is a detail-oriented direct marketing manager who understands the evolution of traditional media to digital. Her understanding contributed to managing a marketing communication strategy that included muti-variant modeling, segmentation, A/B testing, and media consumption and competitive brand preference data to meet her brand objectives. I highly endorse Oana and hope to work with her again on future projects.

Oana is extremely passionate and efficient in managing communications and marketing initiatives/campaigns.

She did an incredible job of leading our communication efforts with external constituents and assessing our overall marketing impact.
