Becky Ann Hughes, Director of Marketing

As operators of a popular and fast-growing Bay Area restaurant chain and looked to by our culinary service firm clients as industry experts, we sought after the most effective and results-oriented marketing partner to support the launch of our newest restaurant. Linda and her team spearheaded a compelling and dynamic strategy which ultimately helped elevate our entire marketing program to a new level."

Founder of The Culinary Edge

Linda Duke and her team helped us develop a Grand Opening strategy for Jenny Craig Centres in new areas that is really getting these new locations off to a very fast start.  Their quick understanding of our target audience, creative thinking and attention to details allowed us to stage and promote open house events that brought people in to experience Jenny Craig and understand the value and benefits of our brand, and brought these Centres up to profitable levels in less than half the time than it took before we started working with Linda.  Duke Marketing not only taught us how to do it, they taught us how to do it right.  Thanks Linda!

Linda, the PR stunt with the Baja buckets for the grand opening of Rockin' Baja in Redondo Beach was a great success. We received great comments from guests.

Our "Pesos for Pizza" promotion and publicity has given us more exposure and national awareness than I ever imaged it would. We have increased sales, have a big pipeline of new franchise prospects and our current franchisees couldn't be happier!
Thanks for all your help and continued efforts.

We are having great results on booking fundraisers since Duke Marketing developed and launched our new fundraiser program. The new Pepsi promotion is also driving many ball tip sandwich sales as well! You weren't kidding when you said Duke Marketing's middle name was "results". Thanks!

We are absolutely thrilled with Duke Marketing and the amount of press they got us. We aren't going to use anyone else.

Imagine Media (Now Future Network USA)

Duke Marketing directed marketing, created advertising, provided affiliate management, and community and public relations for our online affiliate networks: MacDaily Network, MaximumPC Network and the Future Network.

Duke Marketing quickly came up to speed on goals, technologies, and issues for all of the networks and proposed efficient solutions.

They provided image development to the MacDaily Network and Future Network including Web site design, logo, and business system. They created new business opportunities, services and e-commerce deals (Forums, Auctions), an extranet for the 38+ affiliates to give and receive information, and developed launch strategies for multiple networks.

Duke Marketing created advertising sales programs that brought in over $100K per month in revenue. Simple and compelling full page ads were created that were right on target. They handled press relations with our London counter part for several announcements prior to the company going public on the London Stock exchange.

Duke Marketing attacked all jobs in an organized and energetic manner, and most of all Linda Duke was fun to work with!

Noah’s New York Bagels

Duke Marketing really helped create Noah's Bagels look and feel or what others call branding. From the old family photos in the stores to the menu items and the community awareness programs, Ms. Duke really made Noah's, Noah's.

Ms. Duke not only has an amazing amount of creative ideas, but has fantastic experience in creating programs that can be rolled out to other stores and markets and immediately generate results.

One particular promotion that Duke Marketing pulled off was opening three new stores in a new market, Seattle, and invited all Starbucks employees to the grand opening including their CEO, Howard Shultz. It was quite incredible: a small Klezmer band and about 200 people dancing on the sidewalk...including Howard to the Hava-n'gila. Not only did it attract news crews, but launched our presence in a new market that continues to be one of our most successful.

I recommend Ms. Duke without reservation. She is a fantastic addition to any company that wants results.

Duke Marketing managed the marketing aspects for Well Engaged, a Community Application Service Provider. They directed marketing planning and communications, our corporate web presence, advertising, new product development, public relations and branding.

Ms. Duke managed staff including product management, the Web team, public relations and marketing communications.

Ms. Duke developed sales tools and a corporate media folder, as well as created a monthly newsletter, Well Informed, and othermarketing communications. Ms. Duke managed public relations and arranged speaking engagements and tradeshows.

Ms. Duke quickly understands the needs of the organization and then applies her outstanding creativity and promotional ideas to get the company noticed. Her enthusiasm and positive energy makes people motivated and take notice. Her ability to provide unique ideas to promote the company, generate leads and sales is top notch. She is hands on, hard working individual who knows how to rise above the traditional marketing din.
