Testimonials for Carrie Marshall
I could go into a long spiel about why you should work with me, but I think my clients do a far better job.
Over the years, I’ve worked with business owners, entrepreneurs, publishers, writers, educators, nonprofits, and organizations on everything from websites and SEO to writing, editing, design, digital strategy, and business operations.
Here’s what some of them have had to say.
Websites, WordPress & SEO
Omg – where do I begin…
Carrie has been instrumental in helping me organize and professionalize Champagne Stays and Champagne Safe Stays. She has supported my business with website updates, SEO, property pages, owner documents, contracts, email templates, payout statements, invoices, Google Drive organization, and overall business strategy.
What makes Carrie different is that she does not just complete tasks. She sees the bigger picture. She can take messy, stressful business situations and turn them into clear systems, professional documents, and practical next steps.
She has helped me improve my websites, strengthen communication, create better processes, and think more strategically about pricing, workload, and profitability. Her experience with websites, content, systems, SEO, operations, and business strategy has been incredibly valuable to me.
Carrie is sharp, fast, thoughtful, and extremely skilled at seeing what needs to be fixed. She brings structure, clarity, and strategy to the parts of business that can otherwise feel overwhelming.
When I look back at my business from last year until now – there has been a large jump in growth & profit. I highly recommend her services to anyone who is as eager as I am to expand.
Renee Champagne, CEO and Founder,
There should be multiple options available when it comes to defining the “type” of different ways I have worked with Carrie, gotten to know Carrie, been witness to her kindness, in every role that she plays. Her steadfast commitment and support in our community here in Taiwan, from Chairwoman of the CCCT where she not only provided Canadians endless opportunities to give back to this amazing place we live, but room to celebrate our successes and support the over 60,000 Canadians who call this island their second home.
I met Carrie through a mutual friend years ago when I was studying to become a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant; she was and still is such an inspiration as a business owner, philanthropist, driven individual, not to mention our similar approach to life, and an example of someone I wholeheartedly admired in an instant.
Carrie is one of the most multifaceted and intelligent people I have ever met. Her skill set, network, knowledge, experience and willingness to help those who seek her guidance are a short list of the assets she brings to any team; in a time where the world competes, Carrie is there to offer you an edge and solid guidance, all while cheering you on.
She has been invaluable to our company building our website, optimizing our SEO, in addition to helping us build our brand on a number of social media platforms, such as Facebook and Pinterest.
She has a distinctive ability to create eye-catching graphics that both emulate and showcase our business in its entirety. Tenacity, charisma and honesty make her an amazing businesswoman, but more importantly a person who advocates for others and isn’t shy to share their struggles by providing a platform for people around the globe who suffer from chronic illness to share their own stories.
In the last few years, Carrie and I have not only become an amazing team but lifelong friends. Without her support, guidance, encouragement and advice, I don’t know how many different people it would have taken to fill the shoes in which she walks. I will continue to be a student of her craft for as long as she will have me.

As a business owner, managing a website and back-end issues/sales platforms etc. is always a challenge and even though I knew how I wanted my site to run, I had no idea how to do it. Working with various editors and designers over the years was hugely frustrating because it cost loads of money for very little return. I almost gave up when I contacted Carrie.
First of all, she listened to what I needed in a way that showed she wanted to meet my business needs. Her communication style was the first thing that relaxed me. I felt heard. Next, we ran a simple task list on Google Docs that was always carefully and fully updated as Carrie executed all my requests.
I’m not a tech savvy person, more of a creative and Carrie was able to deliver the best options for me, without me even knowing what I would need. She cleaned up my site and constantly checked if I was happy with it. If there were any delays, I always got advance notice and if I had a delay, she always graciously allowed for it. At the end of our project, she assured me that if I needed anything else, she would be happy to assist.
For the first time in four years, my site actually looks how I wanted it to look and functions really well. I’m very grateful to Carrie for showing me that tech-related projects can be executed with ease and excellence. I highly recommend Carrie to anyone who wants the stress taken off handling an effective business site.

About a year ago, Carrie (a fellow travel blogger and Taiwan-based expatriate) approached me with the idea of monetizing two of my blogs, Josambro.com and Snarky Tofu, through advertising and Search Engine Optimization.
Within a few months, she had turned both into money-making entities, and in the process helped me to define individual characteristics for each blog (which had, pre-Carrie, offered mostly duplicate content). I recommend Carrie highly to anyone looking to bring their web presence to the next level.

Writing & Editing
From Asia’s top beach getaways and accommodation, to personal reflections on teaching and travel in Asia, Carrie’s got all the bases covered. Her sites are vibrant and fun, her prose punchy and informative. Most of all, she’s one of the most driven and dedicated freelancers I know. I gladly and glowingly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch editor or freelance writer.

Carrie (Marshall) Kellenberger is an excellent writer and editor. Her articles, on both travel destinations and activities, are insightful and full of first-hand, useful information. Her extensive knowledge of ESL teaching techniques and methodologies provide her with an excellent background for writing and editing projects related to the education field.

Design & Creative Work
I highly recommend Carrie Marshall for her multidimensional creativity and collaborations with projects of purpose. My co-creations have varied from her help with artwork images for a book I published, which were key to the book’s uniqueness.
Carrie is able to efficiently, effectively and creatively utilize her own gifts to make collaborations fun and successful. She is professional and her ability to do so many things is infinite.
Her ability to honor and produce high-quality materials quickly is also an amazing quality she possesses. In addition, she has suggested ideas that have been pivotal and sent over color palette options, which made every step of the way attainable and fun.
I appreciate her hard work on the multiple past projects and look forward to the future ones we have lined up.
She is a great person to have on your team and is very easy to work with.

Leadership, Advocacy & Community
Carrie has consistently shown compassion, leadership, curiosity, and a strong commitment toward equity. She listens attentively to individuals’ experiences and recognizes the wider systemic factors influencing their health, independence, and access to support. Carrie examines how policies, institutions, cultural assumptions, and service gaps affect people’s lives.
Carrie has extensive experience in patient education, community engagement, healthcare navigation, and disability advocacy. I have seen her help individuals understand complex systems, prepare for healthcare appointments, identify resources, and build confidence to advocate for themselves. She communicates complex information thoughtfully, accessibly, and with respect for each person’s circumstances. Her work is always grounded in the dignity and lived experience of those she serves.

Throughout the time I have known Carrie, she has demonstrated exceptional empathy and compassion in every aspect of her work, especially her online presence. Carrie has created a social media space unlike anyone I’ve ever met. When interacting with her community, she approaches each individual with respect, patience, and understanding, creating meaningful connections built on trust and dignity.
Her ability to listen thoughtfully, communicate effectively, and respond to complex situations with sensitivity distinguishes her. Carrie is everyone’s go to resource to learn more about living with ankylosing spondylitis.
Beyond her interpersonal strengths, Carrie is dependable, collaborative, and committed to making a positive impact in her community. Carrie cares deeply for the ankylosing spondylitis community and is a leader in our annual “Walk Your AS Off” awareness project. In fact, she was one of the founding members of this important grassroots celebration. Without Carrie’s involvement, the advocacy reach of this program would never exist.
She works well with my advocacy colleagues, contributes thoughtfully to team discussions, and consistently demonstrates sound judgment and ethical decision-making.
