"My name is April S. Blanding of Simply Simone Designs. I had been approached about this big Juneteenth event that's thrown every year. I very hesitantly agreed to be a part of it. I am a small business and I had never done an event of that scale before, so I was hesitant because I didn't feel I was ready. Well it just so happened that while preparing for the event a suggestion for Light of Gold PR, Marketing, and Consulting came up as a referral in a Facebook group for the event. I'm telling you it was like god knew I was lost and confused, and he was sending me the Calvary. I IMMEDIATELY called and was greeted by this pleasant, cheerful lady Debra Dixon-Anderson who’s the Founder and CEO. Let me tell you...I am so grateful I called. First, I called on a Saturday; but not just any Saturday, Memorial Day weekend Saturday. When I tell you, they moved with warp speed, I’m not lying. Debra and her team worked with me the entire Memorial Day weekend. they were patient, professional, courteous and kind. They baby stepped me through the entire process, and I was ready for my event on time and confident! I felt prepared because Debra and her team walked me through what I needed to have and what I needed to do to present myself in the best light possible. I was so pleased with the job they did I am working with them on upcoming events for my business. Thanks, so much Debra Dixon-Anderson and the entire Light of Gold PR, Marketing, and Consulting team!"
