From Those Who Know
Don’t be afraid to start over again. This time, you’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience….
David Stephens, Client
When it comes to pen-to-paper, or fingers-to-keyboard, no one is better at it than Brenda-Everson Shaw. When my wife & I commissioned Brenda to do a write-up for our home for-sale flyer, Brenda went above & beyond. Her writing and attention to details was outstanding. Her creative writing skills shined in the final results. Not only was the flyer done with incredible style & grace, after it was finished, we wanted to buy our own house. The details & pictures told the history of our house that helped us sell it quickly. Brenda’s experience & writing style is top-notch. We would Highly recommend Brenda for your publishing needs. She takes great pride in her work and it shows in her results. If you ever need someone to assist you with any publication, Brenda is the writer you should you look to hire.

Brenda Everson-Shaw is a proud New England woman and an American Patriot. She has traveled this great country from coast to coast. In her travels she has accumulated many management and marketing skills used in the modern business world.
Her passion is writing, which is unique when it comes to marketing skills.
Brenda’s approach is to tell a story of the product, service or client vs. the sell, sell, sell, approach of years gone by. In the world or Real Estate I have found this to be refreshing and well-accepted by potential clients of mine.
Her story of your marketing piece is committed to helping you and providing authentic value to a total marketing package.
Other attributes Brenda brings to the table are her attention to detail in a patient, calm and focused manner.
I would recommend Brenda Everson-Shaw for any marketing collateral you are seeking to bring to the forefront which will increase your visibility both digitally and in print.

I highly recommend Brenda for an editorial/writing position that seeks a committed journalist with a passion for uncovering an organization’s mission, events, and history. Brenda worked for us for two and a half years as our independent editor for our newsletter. I asked her to keep track of events and let our readers know of them. Over the course of her tenure, she worked independently to scour our social media and public notice pages to report on our activities and the people who participated in them. She interviewed our stakeholders– veterans, volunteers, business supporters, and donors–to round out the human element of each edition. The collection of her newsletters is a written history of our veterans’ program during our growth phase. When we couldn’t figure out how to upload pdf copies of her newsletter to our own website, Brenda added a section to her own web blog and published them. They are available as a portfolio at https://www.brendaeverson.com/newsletters/.
Our nonprofit has been undergoing some deep financial issues this year. It was with deep regret that I had to let Brenda go. I know that our loss of Brenda will be another nonprofit’s gain.

Brenda does an amazing job publishing our organizations quarterly newsletters! They are bright, creative, and get our information to our supporters in a fun and exciting way.
Her ability to understand our mission and convey that essence through our newsletters is a true talent. Brenda provides her services in an extremely professional manner and is an absolute pleasure to work with.
Michael Wenners, President, WenTec, LLC, Pickney, MI
As the owner of a small consulting company that has international connections, I contacted Ms. Everson-Shaw for Marketing and PR assistance with a local company in Massachusetts. From the initial contact, she was very interested and responsive to my requests and asked deeply probing questions about my company and the expected results of the meetings with the local manufacturer.
Ms. Everson-Shaw worked tirelessly and developed a number of strategies to support working with the local manufacturer. High energy, vast experience and marketing skills facilitate quick and accurate perceptions in dealing with people at all working levels, including top management. Her flexibility to respond to different situations with different companies is a special skill set that is valuable to all of her clients.
On a more personal basis, Ms. Everson-Shaw has a special interest in current Military personnel and our nation’s veterans. She has supported many veteran causes, often without compensation, which demonstrates her deep commitment to our Military and country.
Ms. Everson-Shaw has my highest recommendation to support the success of your company.
Ned McNamara, Yoga Master & Personal Trainer Spokane, WA
It is my privilege to recommend Brenda Everson-Shaw as a consummate business professional. I am a personal trainer and yoga teacher and owner of my studio in Spokane Valley, WA.
My business was struggling and haphazardly moving along. I came across an article Ms. Shaw had written in a local paper The Patriot Ledger and was impressed with her writing skills, taking note she was an independent business consultant and marketer. I contacted her to discuss my business goals along with my philosophy and what I was looking to accomplish.
After digesting the information I provided her, Brenda strongly suggested I use the internet to reach potential clients. Brenda created my current website and helped me write and produce ads for a local monthly magazine. My business doubled in six months and continues to grow at a controlled pace. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I also continue to receive guidance from Brenda regarding my advertising and suggestions for a monthly letter on my website.
I highly recommend Brenda Shaw. She is adept at analyzing a situation, taking action as well as making necessary adjustments to attain the intended goals.
Dawn Cahill, President/Owner, Heat Pumps Unlimited, LLC Kingston, MA
I have had the pleasure of working with Brenda Shaw. Brenda has a creative approach to developing marketing materials. She contributed to marketing communications by writing press releases for targeted media, helping to set up interviews for radio and TV. Also, she developed the brochures and other marketing materials to attract customers.
She added a new look to the Heat Pumps Unlimited web site and updated our blog on a weekly basis.
She helped with marketing our new business and did an excellent job expanding our marketing efforts to potential customers. Brenda is an excellent communicator and will do whatever is necessary to get the job done.
Richard Larkin, President/CEO, Larkin Enterprises, Inc.
Lincoln, ME
Brenda Everson-Shaw is someone whom I would recommend to any company seeking a confident, dedicated person to become a member of their staff or a marketing consultant who will get your name recognized by the right potential client.
I have known Brenda for a number of years but only recently had the opportunity to work with her directly when I asked her to review the web content of my company, Larkin Enterprises, Inc. (LEI) which has a presence both domestically and internationally in the energy industry. She pointed out how essential it is, as the owner of an extremely busy company, to personally and periodically review my web site and not simply leave it in the hands of others.
Brenda possesses a commendable work ethic, taking pride in each step of her contribution to a project. You will definitely find her motivated by a challenge, getting you from Point A to Point B in the most expeditious and professional way while maintaining a high level of integrity.
I have had the pleasure of seeing her in action. Brenda has the ability to converse with anyone, from the blue-collar construction worker to CEO of a Fortune 500 company, making those around her feel essential. She displays a courteous, sincere interest in the other party and their contribution to the discussion, asking key questions that get to the actual point of the topic.
Brenda’s client interaction is consistently professional as well as compassionate. You will find that she has the ability to make your clients feel that any issues or concerns they have will be addressed and solved by your company. If she does not have the answer she does not stop until she finds the person who can be of assistance.
If you are seeking a key person who can jump in to lend a hand at something outside of her scope of work, I sincerely doubt you will ever hear her say, “That’s not my job”. While working with Brenda you will discover her philosophy seems to be “we can do it and we can do it better.” She is reliable and sincere when she believes in what you are attempting to accomplish.
Brenda is a devoted family person who has the ability to balance her personal and professional life with admirable ease.
Jeff Yalden, International Motivational Speaker and Author

Scott Gordon, President / CEO Realty Edge, LLC
I had the extreme pleasure of working with Brenda at Relocation Resources International (RRI) over a 5 year period. Brenda was always professional, courteous, and compassionate with her transferees, corporate clients & service providers. Brenda displayed great work ethic at all times. She was well respected among her peers & always strives to set the bar higher. Brenda is truly an invaluable asset to any organization. Not only does she have a positive outlook on life and in business but she’s a wonderful person with a great big heart. I’m lucky to have known her for many years.
Wil Nickerson, Retired Real Estate Broker, Cruise Line Consultant, Spring Hill, FL
It is with great pleasure, and without reservation, that I write this letter of recommendation for Brenda Everson-Shaw.
I have known Brenda for many years and can attest to her honesty, integrity, and ability to listen with her whole heart, assess a situation and offer solutions. She thinks outside the box and on a number of occasions has helped me see possibilities I may have overlooked.
Her work ethic is impeccable. She is always “all in” once presented with a challenge and takes great pride in successfully completing any project she commits to.
Brenda has the unique ability to deal with people from all walks of life and make them feel comfortable in her presence, while at the same time assuring them of her capability to get the job done.
Her enthusiasm is infectious. Her character is beyond reproach. Her “People Skills” undeniable.
Brenda is a steadfast friend and someone who seems to be able to juggle work and family with grace and ease.
Jim Curran, Graphic Designer, Photographer, Illustrator Plymouth, MA
I would strongly recommend Brenda for any of her marketing, online media writing and consulting services. I had the pleasure of working alongside Brenda for 3 years in the publishing and sales department, where she was entrusted with a great deal of responsibility.
I have had the opportunity to observe Brenda’s professional skills as well as interpersonal style. She is consistently pleasant, and takes on all assignments with enthusiasm and dedication. I wish that all my coworkers had this attitude. Regardless of deadlines or other pressure, she always delivers. Her superior organizational skills make her the consummate multi-tasker.
I miss working with Brenda, she has certainly earned the opportunity to offer her talent and skills to your company.
