The Plan, from digital correspondent and social media expert, Sarah Evans, is a, mostly, virtual way to work with a communications expert to get a specific plan in place for your organization's most urgent digital needs. It's a 30-day contract, hyper-focused on your current goal, resulting in a tactical roadmap you can implement.
When you don't need a full-time agency or consultant, but do need additional support from an industry expert.)
For the past eight years Sarah's company, Sevans Strategy, has worked with brands of all sizes to produce digital content, implement social strategies and serve as an online spokesperson to bring stories to life. Prior to that she spent another eight years in strategic communications leadership roles in health care, higher education and PR agencies.
Those experiences have resulted in a honed expertise for many of the most common digital needs and an ability to quickly pivot and engage emerging media for brands. Enter, The Plan. When you don't need a full-time consultant, but want to enlist a trusted expert to help connect-the-dots and get you a Plan you can implement, immediately.
Whether you purchase a one-time Plan, or engage Sarah for multiple Plans, your business will see improved in-house efficiency, strategic focus on your immediate needs and the ability to execute The Plan immediately. The Plan is a, mostly, virtual way to get a roadmap with actual tactics in a format that lets your accomplish your goal(s).
When do you need a Plan?
Purchase a Plan that will best meet your needs (don't see one, try Custom Plans). Upon purchase, you will begin a virtual consulting agreement with Sevans Strategy. A welcome call will be scheduled within 24 hours. Each Plan is a 30-day engagement between you and Sarah Evans (Sevans Strategy). The result is an action-based, tactical Plan designed for you and your team.
*For an additional cost, Sarah is available in-person, on site.
Each Plan has a one-time, flat fee and only changes if you decide to add-on options, like in-person meetings. Sarah's goal is to keep it simple and provide the highest quality of work--letting her passion for digital communications match the drive of your company.
Sarah is a public relations consultant and digital correspondent. That includes social and digital strategy, talent, editing and publisher with her company Sevans Strategy. She's worked in health care, higher education, e-commerce, non-profit, technology and more areas to hone her expertise over the years.

]]>The hourly rate for consulting services in the communications industry can range from $250 to $1,000+ per hour. It is a big investment to hire a consultant or agency full time. Sometimes you just need an "ear" and a credible source to help guide you in the right direction or to be available to provide specific industry knowledge. Whether it's how to create more engaging online content to managing the digital workflow, no industry topic is off limits.
A subscription-based communications consultant.
The Plan Mini Sessions are a monthly service from Sevans Strategy that ensure you four dedicated hours a month (can be used weekly, bi-monthly or monthly) with trusted digital media and communications expert. Interactions may take place via phone, visual conference calls, or, in person.
Calls may be used to discuss strategy, tactics, ideation, or brainstorming around communications and digital media. At the beginning of each month an email will be sent to clarify your Mini Sessions goal(s) and provide a schedule reminder.
And, you can choose how long you need or want the service. Sign up for a single month or continue the service for as long as you'd like.
Currently, there are only 14 spots available for 2018. Sarah is working with several top PR, digital media and communications consultants to join her in providing Mini Sessions to clients, like you.

]]>With specific search filters like baby name origin, first letter, desired characteristics, name meaning and other family members’ names, powered by artificial intelligence and smart algorithmic matching, you can find baby name suggestions tailored to your unique requirements.
Save and shortlist your favorite baby names and create polls to share with your loved ones via the most popular social media apps. Ask them to vote on the baby names they like the most. They can send you polls of their favorite names too. That way everyone feels involved, connected and has fun!
You’ll find a name you love in no time. Maybe even one you never thought of.
How Namey works
Namey helps turn finding a baby name from an overwhelming task to an innovative, collaborative and fun experience."
]]>I've even started doing meal preps for the kids based on their tastes of the week. That includes:
A neighbor told me he loved a certain frozen pizza she bought from Trader Joe's. If anything gets him to eat, I'm in. I went and bought the Bambino Pizza Formaggio for him and planned healthy sides to bring it all together. It was a win!
The successful (for now) line up included:
The cookie recipe came from Paleo Hacks and it was really easy to make. My changes to the recipe included adding chopped walnuts and Enjoy Life chocolate pieces. Even my husband and 1.5 YO loved the cookies.
