I work with Kelly Asbury to coordinate my Digital & Social Media Marketing students to work with local small business owners to help them with their digital marketing footprint. I was curious if you knew of any business owners in the Clinton area who would be interested in teaming up with us? If so, could you share Kelly’s name and contact info with them? I also have an email below that explains the expectations of the partnership.

We are a few short of our need for all 29 (and growing) of my students, so I thought of you in hopes that you knew of some Clinton businesses that might want to get involved.
