I have grown to love and admire each and every one of you. I hope that our relationship will continue into the future as we embark on new ventures together.

If you had told me in January 2000 that 25 years later I would still be learning, growing, and creating with people I enjoy in a job that I love, I would never have believed you. Marketing has evolved so much since Julie Beem and I started The Epiphany Group, Inc. By Martin Luther King Day that first year, we had already signed 17 clients and exceeded our expectations. Twenty-five years later, I am grateful to have a beautiful client list and more work than I can handle.

We began with proposals, design, collateral pieces, and presentations for engineering and architectural clients. Over the years, we adapted to technology, databases, websites, postcard mailers, email marketing, and those innovative electronic brochures on CDs. We survived by pivoting with the times, navigating through life, economic shifts, epic floods, a pandemic, and even an inland hurricane. Today, our client base includes financial advisors, banks, thrift store managers, hair salons, internet service providers, supermodels, race car drivers, authors, motivational speakers, educational institutions, professional service providers, nonprofits making the world a better place, and more. I have learned from all of it, and for that, I am deeply grateful.

As I transition from a full-service marketing agency to focusing on strategic planning, Fractional CMO services, and marketing team building and training, I need your help to ensure a seamless transition for our clients. I have enjoyed working with each of you and admire your expertise, and I hope to continue our collaboration. You are the ones I would trust with my dear clients. Here’s what I envision for our collaboration moving forward:

1. **Client Transition and Project Preferences**:

• I would like to discuss how we can transition current clients to your own billing system.
• Please let me know which types of projects you are most interested in taking on.
• You will have a landing page on my website featuring your biographical information, a list of services, photos or examples of your work, and your contact information. This will allow clients to know who to contact for specific services.

2. **The Spark Team Collaborative**:

• I am launching a new initiative called the Spark Team Collaborative. By joining this initiative, you will receive client referrals from me.
• In return, I will receive a small percentage of each billable project to be determined. This will enable us to continue working together and support each other’s growth.
• I will remain a resource for you, providing strategic guidance and helping you with client needs.

I will share your information with my clients and make formal introductions for the services you wish to provide. I want to ensure an easy and smooth transition.

If you are interested in being part of this collaborative, please fill out the attached form with the necessary information for your landing page. This will ensure that clients have a clear understanding of your services and how to reach you.

If you choose not to join the Spark Team Collaborative, no hard feelings. I wish you all the best and hope we can still collaborate in other ways.

Thank you for your continued support, friendship, and partnership. I look forward to discussing how we can make this transition smooth and successful for everyone involved.

With all my love and admiration,
