Sue Sutcliffe: Marketing & Communications Maven
Making digital marketing profitable since 1995.

Sue Sutcliffe has assisted 1000s of clients, in various sectors, ranging from public to private to not-for-profit, develop and execute strategic digital marketing and communication plans to boost sales and impact and ultimately their digital marketing ROI so why pull your hair out?

Cutting her teeth in traditional marketing thirty-five years ago, Sue Sutcliffe was one of the first to recognize how lucrative digital marketing can be.

 

Determined to enhance the relationship-building aspects of the Internet, she delved into the world of code, website building, search engine optimization and social media long before anyone had even heard about Facebook or Twitter.

 

This launched her twenty-five year career as ‘The Web Coach‘ and the Marketing Maven. Honoured by these monikers, Sue is happy that her scorecard of firsts – and her focus on all-things-digital – has added her actual name to the shortlist of experts called by CEO’s when they want to monetize the Internet.

 

How has she made it onto that coveted hotlist? She has quantifiable success in working with business owners and sales teams to increase sales, grow engaged customer bases and improve cash flow.

 

As a pioneer in her industry and a leader in the business community, Sue is also sought-after digital marketing trainer whose witty, passionate and down-to-earth manner has propelled thousands of marketers, salespeople and business owners to embrace their online power, grow their networks, and drive leads.

 

SCORECARD OF FIRSTS

  • The first to create a certified secure and safe online shopping mall in Canada.
  • A front-runner who created the Ontario college curriculum that trained many of today’s top marketing and advertising executives.
  • Advocated for safe Internet use and worked to advance Canada’s digital landscape.
  • When companies were incurring costs from their Internet strategies, Sue was spurring businesses forward with profitable digital marketing campaigns, online stores, and community building campaigns.
  • Spoken at hundreds of conferences here at home and internationally. At each event, she reinforced proven digital marketing and social media practices to drive business owners and executives to use the Internet to generate sales and improve cash flow.

Sue and her team designed my website, taking it from an unformed idea in my head to far more than I ever hoped. She and her team shepherded this very-new-to-web client through the design process painlessly and professionally. I know much more about the web now, and would still choose her ten times out of ten.

Sue - you have come a long way since setting up the desktop publishing and marketing side of W. Frank Real Estate with me so many years ago to become a true internet pioneer. In a world where it feels like the trolls have been winning, you shared the secrets of using social media to re-evaluate and endorse the concepts of authenticity and human decency.
