The Timberline - Snowmass Village, Colorado
"Katherine developed a 3 year strategic marketing plan that has helped our business increase over 30%. A year ago our website www.thetimberline.com looked outdated, was hard to navigate and was getting a few hundred hits a month. It could not be found on any of the search engines. Katherine redesigned the site and optimized it and we are thrilled with the results. We now receive over 7,000 unique visitors to the site each month. Our key terms comes up on page 1 of Google and we she developed a super communications plan (e-newsletter) to follow up with travel agents, return guests and potential clients."

Before she worked on it we could not be found in the first 200 results of Google and Yahoo for our key words and the site was difficult to navigate. Today we receive over 18,000 unique visits each month to the site and can be found on page 1 of Google for all of our most important search terms like “Luxury Mexico Villa". She also developed an electronic communication plan so that we “talk” to our clients through a professional email on a monthly basis."

We are receiving close to 8,000 unique visitors each month. We are really happy with results.”

"Katherine provided marketing consulting services for Aspen Lodging Company, then a part of East West Resorts, for three years. During that time she developed and implemented a strategic marketing plan that produced results. Revenues increased substantially each year during her involvement with the marketing program. She developed new collateral, strategically targeted the travel agent, group and wholesaler markets, developed a communication plan for Homeowners and developed all the content for the Company’s website, inclusive of optimizing the site. Aspen Lodging Company consistently saw search result placement on the first page of Google when key terms “Aspen Lodging” and “Aspen Condo Rental” were utilized."
Andres Garza
General Manager
Vail Spa Condominiums - Vail, Colorado
"The Vail Spa website was not achieving the results we needed. We had an outdated look, very few pages of content and we were not found on the search engines. We were on a tight deadline and had a small budget to impact this winter season and wanted to turnaround a new site quickly. Katherine developed and optimized our new site in less than a month and we are excited about the results. We now come up on page 1 of Google for all our key terms and are seeing super increases in traffic to the site- over 6,000 unique visits last month."

"Do you ever find yourself short of breath just thinking about the social media behemoth? I sure did! Where do I start? What do I do? Then I remembered who to call . . . Katherine Huske!
I first had the pleasure of working with Katherine at Precept Ministries International and over the years have witnessed first-hand her depth of knowledge of all things social, her continual commitment to staying on the cutting edge of ever-changing markets, and her innovative thinking for reaching people and getting results. Katherine knows what works, she knows how to measure it, and she will bring you a peace of mind that you never thought possible in this tumultuous business arena.

Wiland
"I had the blessing of working with Katherine during the time I helped Pocket Testament League. During that time, it was obvious to me that Katherine was the driver keeping the organization performing at the level it was. She is disciplined, strategic, and organized. In my career to date, I haven’t seen anyone that can match Katherine’s ability to manage multiple projects (and I mean a ton) and deliver top quality professional results like she does. If you’ve got the opportunity to work with Katherine, don’t hesitate, take it, and move quickly, because the next guy won’t."
Thomas Cheatham
Pastor
Christ Community Church - Basalt, Colorado
"Christ Community Church had an outdated website that was impossible to update and use. It also could not be found by the search engines. We wanted a clean, sharp look, and a site that new residents to the area could find on Google. We also wanted a church database integrated into the site where we could track members and sub groups through a web based database. Katherine Huske redesigned the site, developed a web-based database and optimized it. We now come up #1 on Google for “Basalt Church” and have a great site to communicate with our members.”
