Who We Have Worked with in the Past
Testimonials
Tammy is incredible! She has a knack for seeing how to help a business grow and the uncommon skill of being able to actually explain how to facilitate that growth. She first asked me for what I wanted to see happen in my business and since then has been a driving force behind our rapid growth towards my goals. I recommend Tammy to everyone because she is the only person who has sincerely been able to help both my company and myself, as a founder, to grow. The thing I most appreciate about her services is that she does it all constructively, leaving me in complete control over every decision, and always in a way that makes me feel like I'm learning, preempting the frustrations that come from being an early-stage founder.
Tamera has helped us immensely as a mentor. She really has an eye for detail that promotes excellence in our business-technology model. She has recommended multiple improvements to our business model, funding opportunities, as well as resources and avenues to gain hires for our growing company. We really thank her and would recommend her services to anyone seeking help in an early-stage.
Tamera Szijarto became our business advisor when we were struggling with our online presence. From our very first meeting and all through the mentoring period, Tammy is super helpful. Tammy has rich experience and brings great insights into the Digital Marketing area in general. She is professional, reliable, and flexible. We are also incredibly grateful that Tammy brings in her rich network to help us on a variety of topics. We feel very lucky to have Tammy be our advisor! Thank you Tammy!
It has been nothing but a pleasure to have Tammy contribute to our business over the past 5 months. She is deliberate with her strategic tactics and provides consistent advice to implement them effectively. To me, one of her most important attributes is her ability to fully support the vision of a business leader, but not hold back constructive criticism towards the actions of that leader. Tammy pays incredible attention to detail, works tirelessly, and puts everything she has into the projects she contributes to. It has been a privilege to work alongside her as she is fully committed to our mutual success. Truly a great partner and professional!

Tammy is an expert. She helped PetalVision Glass' brand awareness with a user friendly website and marketing tips. By knowing keywords and studying the website analytics, I could study the performance of the website and tweak it in educated ways that yield results. The financial projections were also a huge help. We targeted certain areas of seasonality for better yearly results. By restructuring the business schedule, I am able to make better decisions and take on more projects, for a better rate. The tips on website layout and navigation were also a tremendous help. I also like the way Tammy dives in and gives feedback immediately. Is there anything Tammy can't do?! Choose Project Scaleup!
