I’ve known Andrea for several years as an active and engaged member of the community. Her knowledge of Northeast Ohio was an asset as we contracted her services with the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio. Andrea hit the ground running, taking in a lot of information from a wide variety of sources. From there, she drafted text and procured relevant photos to create a beautiful fundraising brochure. All her work was done quickly and professionally. She was responsive to feedback and worked seamlessly with our communication professionals to complete the project. I highly recommend Andrea if you’re looking for a skilled, professional, responsive, and fast communications expert.

Andrea reached out at exactly the right moment, having noticed that we were having a staff transition. She not only contributed emergency assistance that helped keep our communications streams current, she offered thoughtful and targeted improvements to key projects. Without her coordination on our recent website upgrade, it would still be stuck in development! We needed her focus and attention to pull us through the process. Andrea asked great questions, noticed details and offered both quick wins and deeper change.

Andrea C. Turner edited my book, “Currency of Empathy: The Secret to Thriving in Business & Life.” It was a joy to work with her from start to finish. She’s professional, positive, responsive, caring, thorough, thoughtful, co-creative, flexible yet persistent, and knowledgeable. She’s also FAST! I knew I was in good hands, from start to finish. She took the time to really understand and improve the ideas in my book, helping me communicate more effectively. What more could you want in an editor?! Hire this woman now if you’re lucky enough that she has time to help you.

Andrea handled the production of several compelling videos for a committee at our church. She sourced a video production firm and spent countless hours lining up interviews and b-roll video. The results were the first ever professionally produced videos for this place we love. Andrea’s skills included script writing, interviewing for media, digital story-telling, production, and project management. Beautifully done!

My visual content firm, Liaison Media, was contracted by ACT One Communications to produce a series of videos for St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Tasked with capturing various ministries within the parish, there were a variety of logistics and scheduling constraints that could have affected our tight deadline. Andrea was the best project manager a production team could ask for ––everything from communicating with various interviewed talent to watching rough cuts, and identifying which narratives would resonate most. Andrea was a positive and reliable resource throughout the whole process. I would recommend her services to any organization that needs high-quality media service from an audience-conscious, knowledgeable, calm, and self-sufficient administrator.
— Wayne S. Smith III, Executive Content Producer, Liaison Media

Andrea served as a Board member for the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes during the time when I came on as Executive Director and the Center went through many changes. She was a dedicated and reliable Board member, who brought excellent marketing skills to the table. She chaired our Marketing Committee and helped the organization to focus on the most important and impactful marketing tactics for an organization our size, with minimal staffing. She was a delight to work with, and I could always count on her for excellent advice.
