…alive and well and happy to be connecting with YOU.
For over 20 years I’ve been writing, developing and delivering brand and human interest stories for television, radio, print, and live events. Finding fresh ways to engage past, present, and future customers to ride the wave of change and “stick with the program.”
Also, years of experience as an on-camera and live Presenter, Voice Talent, and Writer, has given me additional insight and skill in crafting and presenting brand concepts and campaigns.

A HAPPY CLIENT WROTE …
As owner-operator of Bonnie View Inn – a landmark resort in Haliburton Highlands since 1924 – I knew that Jerelyn Craden was the right person to help us strengthen our brand and get us back on track during an economically challenging time. And I was right. We now have a thoroughly comprehensive creative marketing plan designed to build and sustain customer loyalty and set us apart from other lakeside resorts. This includes an inspiring tagline, mascot, new logo, a working philosophy, strategically scheduled advertising and promotional campaigns, onsite brand enhancements, and additional brand-tailored website content. Plus, working with Jerelyn was fun, fast, and exciting. — Andrea Hagarty, Owner & Operator, Bonnie View Inn, Haliburton Ontario
