What People Say
ROSEMARIE ROTONDI
Executive Vice President

"Working with Kathleen at Advancement Digital has been one of the best business decisions I've made. We met through the Greater New York Chamber of Commerce and I hired her to rebuild our logo, brand, messaging, and website from the ground up. She took the time to understand what we do — pipe supports, fasteners, anchoring systems — not just the words, but who we sell to and why they come to us. That level of attention is rare.
What sets her apart is that she's strategic, knowledgeable, and hands-on. She doesn't hand you a plan and disappear. She stays on top of what needs to be done and executes. Our website, tradeshow materials, and print collateral look polished and professional, and she made the whole process easy on my end.
Kathleen is highly responsive and takes pride in delivering excellent work. She's always reachable, always ahead of the deadline, and never makes you feel like you're chasing her down.
If you're a business owner who needs a website and marketing vendor who consistently delivers quality, Kathleen is exactly who you need."
Megan MIX
Owner

“As a new business owner just launching, I wasn't sure where to start with marketing. Kathleen at Advancement Digital took all the guesswork out of it. She compiled everything I needed, things I'd thought of and things I hadn't, and built a beautiful, professional, and accessible website that lets new clients find me easily and helps me manage my workflow.
But she didn't stop at the website. Her copywriting and SEO work made a real difference. I now come up first in AI search, clients tell me they found me through the blog stories she created, and the before & after photos of my farrier work. I have more business coming in now than ever. The site doesn't just look good, it brings me business!
What I didn't expect was how much value Kathleen would add beyond the website. She connected me to other trusted professionals and gave me honest, practical advice on where to spend my money and where not to. She helped me avoid some costly mistakes before I even knew they were coming.
She is highly skilled, easy to work with, and genuinely invested in her clients' success. I trust her to guide my marketing decisions going forward, and I can't recommend her highly enough."

Treasurer

“Cops, Kids & Toys runs on volunteers and goodwill, and for a long time our marketing and technology were catching up to our mission. Kathleen at Advancement Digital changed that.
She created a marketing strategy and content calendar, rebuilt our two websites, set us up on Givebutter CRM, got our team running on Google Workspace for Nonprofits, and created an organized repository for our historical materials in Google Drive. Then she trained our key volunteers on how to use it all. She also redesigned one of our logos and has been delivering graphics for events and social media that are always engaging, consistent, and professional.
Kathleen understands nonprofits and suggests best practices. Working with her has been genuinely easy, and she has strengthened our systems and processes.
If your nonprofit needs someone who can provide strategic guidance on the big picture, has the technical skills to advise and implement wisely, and who truly cares about your mission and people, I highly recommend reaching out to Kathleen."

“Being very impressed with the work Kathleen did for the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley, I recommended to my law firm that we retain her services to update our website and assist us in developing a marketing plan.
We have been very pleased with the work she has done for us. The first thing she did was to really get to know us so that the materials she produced would accurately reflect who we are. We have been very pleased with the result.
Kathleen is easy to work with because I believe she is genuinely interested in learning about the businesses she works with and the people who work there.”
