Testimonials

Talk To Tara.

I’ve been working with high-profile brands in the podcast space for over a decade now. The number of wasted Zoom meetings I’ve had, shaking my head at marketing and branding consultants, spouting and recycling jargon on better attracting more B2B clients leaves me awake at night, counting the hours (and dollars) I’ll never get back. Ultimately, we get a bill, a pep talk, a slide deck, and nothing actionable.

Tara’s service was the opposite. Tara brought genuine interest and curiosity to our first conversations. She truly cares about the people in a company and who the best fit for those people might be as clients. She always spoke to the truth of good marketing. Companies are made up of people, and creating an understanding of each other is what leads to sustainable relationships. Her follow-up and reporting were actionable and evergreen and were the first documents we reviewed before any significant positioning decision we made. If you’re ready to see yourself better and meet your better clients, talk to Tara.

Working with Tara was fantastic.

Working with Tara was fantastic. After receiving a very thoughtful and comprehensive audit of the site, Tara also provided specific feedback that would set us on a path to meet our new website goals including new customer acquisition, streamlined customer journey, accessibility, and engagement. She took the time to understand our business and customers and then provided insights so we could make informed decisions regarding content, graphics, and the user journey. I hope we have another opportunity to collaborate with her in the future.

Jesse Understood Our Needs.

We started working with Tansy Aster Audio after nearly 200 episodes of our podcast. Jesse helped us seamlessly maintain the high quality audio production and “virtual recording studio” environment that has been important to our brand. Jesse’s easy going manner has been especially helpful to us and to our guests (best-selling authors and CEOs) as he conducts technology checks and helps us overcome any audio challenges that can happen in the middle of a conversation. His post production work makes the entire episode flow smoothly and we all sound as if we’re in the same room.
