Call me to talk about

User Acquisition or Community Building

I built a community of 400+ mommy bloggers who're curating deals on Reclip.It. These bloggers could be an effective way to get a large number or early product testers, if they are your target audience.

Other user acquisition methods I've worked on in the past: Facebook Open Graph, giveaway & contests, building in viral hooks into product, email marketing campaigns, partner co-marketing campaigns, SEO, SEM, etc.

Branding, PR & Product Marketing

I've been interviewed live on ABC7 San Francisco, Fox Business, and have done a Cyber Monday segment for Fox News. I've also appeared on all the major publications like Techcrunch, Mashable, AllThingsD, CNN, WSJ, Lifehacker, GigaOm, CNET, USNews, Forbes, TNW, etc. I could help you assess if PR is the right strategy for you since it doesn't work for all startups.

Informed and informative, highly valued advice.

Cheryl is a very kind person and truly wants to help but was not very useful in my particular case. I don't think she bothered to read my website, i suspect she just skimmed it and watched the video. Couldn't really grasp the concept and was therefore rather dismissive. Very likely she is much more talented with established and easily defined businesses. I pretty much just got a referral to a webpage testing site, the rest was all stating the obvious.

Cheryl was super easy to talk to, very well-prepared for our call, and gave me confidence about the next steps I need to take with my idea, testing, and company.

It was very helpful for a student still trying to figure out his career options. Cheryl even directed me to a friend of hers for further advice. The waiting music was bad though.

Dung Bui Source: Clarity

Very grounded. Excellent advice. She knows her stuff.

Raj Lahoti Source: Clarity

Cheryl had insightful things to say to the questions I asked. She's obviously very knowledgable when it comes to startups. The feeling I got while talking to her was that she's very generous and cares about my project.
