Shelley Lepp
Co Executive Director at Writers Collective of Canada

"We (The Multicultural Artists' Coalition (MAC-CAM)) worked with Sonya Gankina through our ART+ Workshop Series. Our program delivers professional development sessions to local artists in the City of Ottawa. Sonya co-presented the Digital Marketing for Professional Artists workshop and did a fantastic job. Since the planning stage, she was active and willing to accommodate our needs and adapt her presentation, considering the other presenter's speaking points. Sonya was passionate and generous during the presentation and shared detailed information about strategies for SEO, successful social media content, media and public relations. She made the subject relatable to our audience by providing artist examples and her personal experience. We were delighted to work with her work and would absolutely recommend her."

English Program Director and Equity & Inclusion Officer at Multicultural Arts in Schools and Communities (MASC)

"Sonya's been super helpful & very keen while assisting me with an upcoming pre-launch company (stealth mode). Working remotely & on her own schedule with weekly catch-ups, it's been great to have her help with researching the market, competitors and feasibility of the venture. She's conscientious and a pleasure to work with. Recommend."

Craig Fitzpatrick
Entrepreneur and Tech Executive

"I had the pleasure of working with Sonya during a very busy time. She always goes the extra mile, learns new skills when needed, and thinks several steps ahead. All that with a smile and a positive attitude, no matter how pressing the deadlines. Great work, Sonya!"

Maria Sturova
Marketing Professional

"We worked with Sonya to help develop our social media and content creation strategy across several channels. Sonya was reliable and consistently delivered results. I would recommend working with Sonya if you are looking for someone to effectively and efficiently manage your content and social media channels."

Carly Holm
Founder & CEO, Humani HR

"What I appreciate about working with Sonya is that she always takes the time to thoroughly understand the project first—almost as if she feels it—before writing even a single line. This depth of understanding translates directly into the copy, and her expertise is evident in the text. Having worked with various content writers and copywriters for at least the past 15 years, I can immediately distinguish between good writing and bad writing. Sonya's writing is simply superb, and I look forward to collaborating with her on more projects."

Vitaliy Deputat
Founder, Ad House Digital Advertising

"Sonya has been invaluable for our team. The social posts she creates for us are simple but effective and have increased our reach, our followers, and our engagement. She works quickly and efficiently and has saved my team hours of work. Sonya is great to work with, has great ideas that she's always willing to share, and follows up on everything. I love working with her and will be recommending Sonya every chance I get."
