“You’re amazing, and anyone who works with you is instantly 100% better because of that”
“I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Shannon for almost 3 years, and throughout this time, Shannon has consistently proven herself to be an invaluable asset to her team. Shannon possesses an exceptional blend of creativity, strategic thinking, and analytical prowess, which she seamlessly integrates into her marketing initiatives. Her ability to craft compelling campaigns that resonate with our target audience is truly impressive. Whether it’s conceptualizing innovative ideas or meticulously executing intricate plans, Shannon approaches every task with unwavering dedication and enthusiasm.
One of Shannon’s standout qualities is her knack for understanding market trends and consumer behavior. She has a keen eye for detail and an innate ability to identify opportunities for growth. Shannon’s strategic insights have been instrumental in driving our marketing efforts forward and achieving tangible results. Moreover, Shannon is an outstanding collaborator and team player. She thrives in dynamic environments and effortlessly fosters a spirit of camaraderie among her peers. Her positive attitude and willingness to lend a helping hand make her a pleasure to work with, and her contributions have undoubtedly enriched our team dynamics.
In addition to her professional skills, Shannon’s integrity and professionalism are commendable. She consistently demonstrates a high level of integrity in all her interactions and approaches her work with the utmost professionalism and integrity.”
“Really appreciate the communication on your side and all the resources you provide our team on (selling promotional) media. It’s night and day since you took over media at ExpertVoice, and it sets us up SO well. Thanks for being willing to have the conversations!”
“Thanks for leading the Competitive Analysis lunch-and-learn session today, Shannon. Lots of information given, summarized well, and packaged in a way that was insightful and informative and will also be easy to reference and refer to later. Well structured session, really interesting, great way to spend my lunch learning something new. Great job.”
“Shannon, you are one of the most talented marketers I’ve ever met. ”
“Shannon has been hugely instrumental in the success of Product Sampling Campaigns. I appreciate her ability to flawlessly track the pipeline and progress of campaigns, as well as manage all the inputs on improvements to the product. I am very thankful to have Shannon’s organization and foresight with this product and her enthusiasm for making this product the best it can be.”
“Shannon May has been kicking ass and taking names this quarter. In addition to her regular responsibilities, her support of Flash Deals went above and beyond to provide custom dashboards and reporting for all of our pilot brands, providing extra support and QA to ensure both the brand AND expert experience with our Product Sampling Campaigns are as smooth as possible. She has been digging in deep to strengthen our relationship with Bazaarvoice to encourage greater adoption of our integration.”
“Shannon May has allowed the CS team to report on purchased media in a meaningful, detailed, and thorough way – packaged, pretty, and client-ready. These reports are pure nectar from the gods for CS. THANK YOU!!!!”
“I just wanted to formally thank you for all the support you’ve been contributing to the Rep Referral Tool! We’ve learned so much together regarding the tool, and you’ve been such an asset while uncovering ways to better support the brand and at the same time, navigating areas that could be improved. I really appreciate your support and professionalism throughout this process. Couldn’t do it without you!”
“Just wanted to send a quick shout-out on behalf of Shannon May, Amy Joffee, and Lindsay Simpson. I can’t believe how quickly each of them not only responds to an e-mail/Slack inquiry but are willing to go above and beyond on behalf of our EV family of brands. It’s almost as if they know what I’m thinking before I have the opportunity to say something, and they ALWAYS have a solution to whatever request/s I’ve had. THANK YOU LADIES for crushing your jobs and showing the ExpertVoice love for our brands. Our Marketing Ladiez ROCK!!!!!”
“Shoutout to the Icebreaker Gear Tester team! I especially want to call out @Shannon May and @Deb DenBraber for their hard work and leadership on a very labor-intensive program; well outside of the scope of the investment.”
“Great work everyone. Heard from several folks praising the effort, content, and their excitement about this event and what’s coming from ExpertVoice!”
“Gotta give it up to @Shannon May and @Mikaela Whittle. They are great partners and have been an awesome support team in helping me kick off event videos. These two have been great about building Pendo ads and emails, marketing to prospects, and keeping me in the loop on all the outreach efforts they push out. They do a lot to help our sales team know who to put focus on and when. Thanks for being awesome you two!”
“Double shout out to Shannon! She has led and pushed this 2020 plan forward, leading it all with supporting research and data to help make the best recommendations for our clients, and make 2020 the best year yet for promotional media. Shannon’s addition to the marketing team has been an absolute game-changer for promotional media and what we offer to our clients!”
“Shannon May, the role you have played since you came on a year and a half ago providing AE support, selling materials, training, leading the creative, and reporting have really helped define the value of promotional media for us internally, as well as our clients. We are seeing the results of your efforts!”
“A big shoutout to Shannon May, Amy Joffee, and Jason Motley. They constantly amaze me with their detailed decks and analyses they put together for our brands. Whether its monthly Media & Promotions results, Motley’s famous dashboards, in-depth documented recaps, or more recently the 96 page TNF closure campaigns analysis. They spend an insane amount of time to dig deep into answering the hard questions, never accepting “I don’t know” as an answer, and delivering value to our brands and internal teams. You three are incredible. (period.)”
“More importantly, I’d like to shoutout Shannon!!! She’s been spending months on this project (2020 Media Kit), hosting weekly 2020 planning meetings, doing extensive research, meeting every deadline and milestone, and just crushin’ it! I’m so inspired to work with someone like this. I think she makes everyone around her better.”
“Shannon was amazing this week on client visits to Mountain House, Burley Design, Dakine, and Smith Optics! She helped put together campaign performance metrics, slide decks, and suggested promotional media for 2019. She helped capture notes and follow up on the conversations and was a great partner in the client discussions on these visits. Thank you, Shannon!”
“I just needed to send a quick shout-out to the dynamic duo of Christine Corcoran and Shannon May. These two worked a late-night and early morning on a deck before a presentation for Oakley last week, and then let us take all the credit with our contacts over at Oakley. They knew exactly the data points that Oakley would want to see and how to present them in a digestible, visually pleasing way. Needless to say, we couldn’t have done it without you two.”
“@Amy Joffee and @Shannon May have been incredibly helpful on multiple fronts for me this quarter. Specifically, they’ve been creative and gracious: Helping execute a changing and developing strategy for Icebreaker. Working with me to make good on oversights I made earlier in the year for Klymit and NEMO. Setting realistic expectations, and giving solid recommendations around what will create a positive impact for our clients. Thank you two!”
“SHOUTOUT to @Shannon May and @Angee Pierson and adding in @Christine Corcoran! These ladies are absolutely key to helping us meet and CRUSH our Promotional Media Revenue goals! So far this year we have booked 1.36 M for 2019 in media! Last year we sold a total of 1.49 M, putting us in a great position to SMASH that! The support of Shannon on the strategy side driving messaging and helps position the value of the media that we offer to our clients and reporting!”

Global Internal Corporate Communications Consultation: Account Management, Project Management
“Shannon - I know you are on PTO, but I just wanted to pause and send you a quick note to let you know how appreciated you are. It is so clear that you were able to jump in and quickly take a very complex piece of work and put order and structure around it and insert yourself as a leader on the account. People are raving about the impact you have made left and right, and you probably don’t have the benefit of knowing just how much your name comes up in this way. So, thank you for all you have done, and all you have yet to do to help grow our Europe presence and improve our project delivery.”

Social Media Consultation: Competitive Research, Strategy, Content Creation, Publishing, Monitoring, Reporting
“Working with Shannon as a social consultant has been a pleasure. She is savvy, creative, dedicated and continually growing as a marketer in an ever changing social landscape. I was also impressed by her ability to quickly learn a brand - critical in a consulting/freelance role. Able to work well both on her own and as part of a team, Shannon communicates effectively and is open to feedback. I was often impressed by her ability to balance delivering advice and implementing the distinct needs of our business (which were sometimes at odds). She is both a leader and a collaborator that knows when each is necessary. Finally, unlike many consultants I’ve worked with, Shannon isn’t just a strategist, but a doer. She has a unique ability to create an idea and then execute it - a trait not often found in one person. This save us time and money while delivering a superior product. Shannon delivered measurable results that improved our efforts and helped redefine our social media presence. I highly suggest her as a marketer.”
“It really is a pleasure working with you, you’re so organized and communicative!”

The whole client team is very happy and impressed. Great job to everyone and thanks for all the long hours and hard work!”
“Great job guys. I can’t believe you all took insights from Brooklyn and actually implemented them here (Portland).”
