Past participants say…
“Corinne made me realize that marketing your services does not have to be complicated or even time-intensive. She really helped me flip my perspective on some marketing-related beliefs and now I actually enjoy doing my marketing tasks. For the first time I have a plan about how to approach my marketing and make it a regular task instead of something I keep putting off for “when I have time” (which is never). She’s also just a really lovely person and I enjoyed watching her videos every morning with my coffee. Thanks, Corinne! Will definitely join again next year. 🔥” – 2024 March Marketing Madness participant
“Corinne was warm, candid, and very helpfully transparent in matters such as earnings, which many consider discussion of taboo (an antiquated attitude that is ultimately counterproductive). She was always very quick to respond to questions and observations from the comments box, and it never felt like the flow of the session was being delayed or compromised. Overall, this was a hugely informative — and transformative — masterclass, for those serious about maximizing their business potential. Warmly and highly recommended!” – Participant in Aiming for six figures as a freelancer
“Clearly structured, provided exactly the type of information I expected and wanted.” – Participant in Getting Started as a Freelance Translator
“I would highly recommend Corinne McKay’s March Marketing Madness to anyone needing a boost to their marketing efforts. This was my fourth year taking part and it did not disappoint. Corinne provides a good balance of motivation and challenges to push you out of your comfort zone and help you think of creative and inspirational ways to connect with new and existing clients and promote your services. I will definitely be using some of these strategies in the future!”
