• Courtney is great with clients on the phone, via email and especially in person (which is essential in my line of work). She is very diligent, organized and hard working no matter the task she is given. Courtney worked on our digital & social media advertising campaigns. She absolutely turned it around from something that was an afterthought and money pit into a form of advertising that is now an integral segment of the annual ad campaign and a revenue stream. Courtney knows how to use, implement and analyze digital and social media… I’d hire her in a heartbeat to be my social/digital media manager if I owned my own business.

• Courtney Goetz is a fabulous event producer, program, project and operations manager! We have worked together for several years at the Northwest Flower & Garden Festival. In my role as a programming contractor to the NWFGF I've had the opportunity to collaborate with Courtney on program content development, guest experience and services, marketing and promotion, resource procurement and talent management. She is by far the most unflappable manager I've worked with. Courtney is excellent at planning for all contingencies, and she can pivot at a moment's notice to address the unexpected variables that inevitably emerge. She seems to manage and collaborate at ease with all levels and roles of constituents. I recommend her enthusiastically.

She is a creative thinker and adept at paid, owned and earned media strategy. As a client, she was always easy to work with and supportive of the full team, while keeping the goals and objectives top of mind. I would jump at the chance to work with her again!
