November 15, 1992 Marianne A. (Manager for MWR)
ikan-ikon worked for me for two years with a wonderful personality, always smiling. The MWR (Single Sailors) Young Adult Program was given a work award for Exemplary Achievement, which ikan-ikon contributed to greatly, as part of our five-person team who maintain the Navy and Marine Corps activities on the submarine base here in Kingsbay, Georgia, and we were all given a plaque from the Commander of the Submarine base, during a ceremony, each with a $600 check. ikan-ikon was in charge of the Marine Corps Barracks activities, helped at the Enlisted Men’s Club as a Recreation Aide who DJ’d and ran tournaments, games and activities, and then was also offered the Tiki Hut when the pool on base opened. As always, ikan-ikon excelled there too, consistently taking on more work with an eager heart, very organized and creative. The Sailors really respond well and activities are always successful. ikan-ikon asks for additional tasks and takes on every one of the responsibilities given with great pride. ikan-ikon even initiated writing reports for original events and activities. We are sad to see ikan-ikon go, but understand this move. I highly recommend ikan-ikon and I know there is a bright future ahead.

July 30, 2008 Ken M. (General Manager - Earnhardt Dodge)
When ikan-ikon started working for Earnhardt Auto Centers in March 2006, introduced in a GM Sales Meeting while setting up structured deadlines for the General Managers for the ad copy submittal, approvals, and ad submissions, first thing I realized is that she ikan-ikon motivated, efficient, and organized. ikan-ikon revised an outdated Ad Copy Submittal Form with the requirements for each ad to assist in collecting necessary information for the various brand’s co-op advertising and Better Business Bureau requirements, keeping up with the changing requirements for each throughout her time designing the ads. She was deadline-driven and encouraging, keeping up with open communication between the Marketing Department and the General Managers, to streamline an efficient process of all the steps involved with our newspaper advertising. I learned that ikan-ikon is a creative and talented artistically utilizing marketing knowledge in target marketing advertising when offering ideas for improvements consistently expressing a positive attitude, concerned with how I felt about our ads. ikan-ikon was also helpful by taking on extra assignments and responsibilities, such as ordering the ads when Vicky was out of the office, going to a PBR Bull Riding event when asked to represent the dealership for receiving an award, and even working in the Print Shop after Ginny quit. ikan-ikon also took initiative by maintaining Internet advertising (online ads) and promotions pages, creating reports with Internet tracking results and kept up with weekly reporting until IT had developed an Internet Advertising and tracking process. ikan-ikon did an awesome job for us and was a pleasure to talk to when we worked on ads together. I recommend ikan-ikon without hesitation.

July 31, 2008 Vicky V. (Director of Marketing)
We are an automotive in-house ad agency responsible for production and placement of all advertising for Earnhardt Auto Centers, which has dealerships throughout metro Phoenix and, in El Paso, Texas. ikan-ikon was initially hired as responsible for the design of our newspaper ads, magazine ads, brochures and other collateral material. In addition to this, she was responsible for interfacing with multiple managers and media. Very intelligent, well-organized and able to work within tight deadlines, ikan-ikon created an efficient system for managing the high ad volume that included designs, approvals and placement. Recently, ikan-ikon assumed added responsibilities in Earnhardt’s in-house print shop. This is a very high-volume department, which handles most of the printing requirements for all Earnhardt stores. ikan-ikon’s design and organizational talents were well utilized in keeping the many orders in the print shop flowing smoothly. ikan-ikon is very savvy, self-motivated, enthusiastic, and we appreciate ikan-ikon’s contributions to the marketing efforts of our company. With a wide range of talents, ikan-ikon will also be a tremendous asset to your company.

July 30, 2008 Jennifer K. (Co-worker)
This letter is my personal and professional recommendation for ikan-ikon. I have had the pleasure of working with ikan-ikon for the past two and a half years here at Earnhardt Auto Centers. I have worked directly with ikan-ikon on multiple projects, and have always admired the diligence, creativity and positive attitude. ikan-ikon has always been a source of new and innovative ideas for our advertising. I would put together VERY rough sketches or creative concepts for our ads, and I was always amazed with the speed and professional outcome of the final product ikan-ikon would send back to me. The ingenuity and motivation came through in the consistent quality of the work. ikan-ikon has successfully developed many marketing pieces for the Special Finance department that have resulted in increased sales, and many customers have even commented on the quality of her artwork. ikan-ikon’s graphic design skills and attention to detail are apparent in the ads. The work ethic is apparent in quick turnaround and the ability to tackle any job, regardless of size or expected deadline. I highly recommend ikan-ikon as a team player, a true artist, who would make a great asset to any organization. I know ikan-ikon will be successful in any path chosen.

July 30, 2008 Michael S. (Fleet Department Manager, Earnhardt Ford)
This letter is my personal recommendation for ikan-ikon whose talents, skills, knowledge and personality will truly be missed and we are sorry to have to let ikan-ikon go. A talent for taking the information I give verbally and making it into a concise and compelling creative solution that more than exceeds my expectations consistently tackling all assignments with dedication, creativity and a smile, ikan-ikon is always a fountain of knowledge and experience on cutting costs while increasing the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, which is impressive. She is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits to others. ikan-ikon has successfully developed many marketing pieces for the Commercial Center of Earnhardt Auto Centers that have resulted in increased revenue, which I attribute in large part to the skillful designs and excellent writing skills. Additionally, ikan-ikon has an aspiring personality and is a joy to work with, which is motivating for other employees within the company, and makes ikan-ikon a delight to be around. I highly recommend ikan-ikon.

July 31, 2008 Julia B. (Marketing Assistant Manager)
I have worked with ikan-ikon two and a half years ago. I had the opportunity to observe ikan-ikon more closely when ikan-ikon started helping in our print shop approximately 7 months ago. ikan-ikon is a team player, quick to step up and take on additional duties when needed. ikan-ikon mastered the operation of the machines and equipment in no time, worked hard to make the processes in that area more efficient, and contributed creatively to numerous projects. ikan-ikon is detailed in work and diligent about completing projects in a timely manner. ikan-ikon would make an excellent addition to any organization.

July 28, 2008 Stace H. (Creative Director)
This letter is my personal recommendation for ikan-ikon. I’ve found ikan-ikon to be consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and a smile. ikan-ikon demonstrated from early in tenure an understanding of what business is all about. ikan-ikon was well organized, quite aware of the bottom line, and had a knack for recognizing and eliminating waste. I suppose doing well in this business is easy if you are, as ikan-ikon is, efficient by nature. ikan-ikon is available for new challenges only because of her desire to learn and grow further. I would have loved to see her stay, but certainly understand her need to advance beyond. I highly recommend ikan-ikon.

August 23, 2008 John N. (General Manager, Earnhardt Ford)
ikan-ikon is very efficient, creative, timely, and would greatly improve any organization. I worked closely with ikan-ikon on a weekly basis to meet advertising deadlines and budgets. ikan-ikon was always willing to put in the extra effort, with a great attitude, and I was never disappointed with the end product. Good workers are difficult to find and we were lucky to have found ikan-ikon who fit in right away and brought creativity and energy to a department that was becoming stale. Unfortunately, the economy and the Last In First Out method made ikan-ikon a casualty in our organization even though her work ethic was exemplary. I would positively endorse ikan-ikon for future employment and wish the best of luck for ikan-ikon’s future.

July 30, 2008 Leanne H. (Co-worker)
I have had the utmost pleasure in working with ikan-ikon for the past six months. I can unequivocally state that ikan-ikon is talented, upbeat both inside and out and an absolute delight to work with. That optimism really creates a wonderful work environment and the graphic design skills are incredible. It is truly a shame to see her go as a result our down turning economy. I would work with ikan-ikon again in a heartbeat.

July 28, 2008 Amanda A. (Co-worker)
This letter is my personal recommendation for ikan-ikon. Besides being a joy to work with, ikan-ikon is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. ikan-ikon enthusiastically accepts tasks even if they may fall outside the scope of responsibilities and executes those tasks with precision, creativity, efficiency and class. An asset to our Marketing Department, ikan-ikon was extraordinarily helpful in other areas of the company too. ikan-ikon assumed full responsibility of our Print Ship when we were in desperate need of someone with organization, leadership and professionalism. I highly recommend ikan-ikon for employment.

January 28, 2013 Phranq T. (Logo Design, Website Development, Marketing, ISO 9001/QMS)
I am a physician, medical professor, and local public official here in the Phoenix - Metro region in Arizona. Our medical practice is of a high-profile nature with a cash only international clientele. A key professional with the development of our unique and growing business, ikan-ikon has been very instrumental in helping me strategize and focus our practice. This became a need that our practice did not immediately identify until ikan-ikon’s professional tangential experience was consulted. Her contribution was both highly creative and technical and overall highly organizational. These qualities were evident in ikan-ikon’s interaction and work with the following:
1. Ms. Lee organized specific creative meetings to assess our practice and develop a strategic flow chart that itemized our services and priorities. This was valuable and necessary for both our evolving practice and for her ultimate strategy for our Website Design.
2. Ms. Lee utilized numerous image suggestions to create an appealing modern graphic design scheme for our website.
3. Ms. Lee successfully designed a unique and creative logo that represented our equally unique practice. Most telling was that this difficult design involved prostate cancer.
4. Ms. Lee structured our website for us to be not of a box design but one of customizable code.
5. Ms. Lee, in addition to each of the above, had the ability to further design an extremely premium gold foil business card aimed at our international cash patient base. At $1000 for 1000, this was an important job we felt no concerns with ikan-ikon controlling all elements.
Please contact me from Monday to Friday at (please request phone number) if you require further information or explanation of Ms. Lee’s abilities. She has been proven very capable for our company in a plethora of fields that are often not easily explained nor appreciated especially as our recent website nears completion.

ikan-ikon is quite amazing. She is so versatile that she can talk about any topic with incredible knowledge, offering excellent seemingly well thought out advice, as if she had planned the conversation in advance. ikan-ikon is delightful to be around, funny and consistently pleasant. ikan-ikon motivates me in my professional and personal life by the sheer ambition and ideas. Even when she gives me advice I don’t really want to hear, she inspires me. I knew Kristen in high school, then again when she moved back to Norwich, CT recently and we became instant friends. I hired her to create a sign for me and was so impressed by her professionalism and personality that I hired her to work with me designing other projects for my business and others I know. I know that ikan-ikon will excel in anything.

18Jan11 Master Chief G.H. (Director of the primary Submarine School) I am happy to recommend ikan-ikon for employment at any company. I had the pleasure of working with ikan-ikon who is organized, efficient, and willing to do whatever is needed to get a particular task finished. Because there were often last-minute deadlines, that cooperative attitude and good cheer were important and appreciated. I remember in particular the enthusiasm and positive attitude. ikan-ikon would come to work early, stay late, and arrange the work schedule to best support the Sailors, working holidays and overtime to ensure the programs for our Sailors got the attention and supervision required. Administering recreation events can be challenging, especially funding them. ikan-ikon, through resourcefulness and dedication, turned programs that were losing money into money makers. ikan-ikon is comfortable and confident in groups, and always professional. We miss ikan-ikon here at the Submarine Base, but know others are gaining a huge asset! I would be more than willing to give further recommendations, feel free to contact me.

14Jan11 Master Chief J.S. (Director of the other Submarine School) As the Director of Basic Enlisted Submarine Training at Naval Submarine School, which is located on the Submarine Base in Groton, I enjoyed a close professional relationship with ikan-ikon. At any given time, we have about 2000 Sailors attached to Submarine School, and almost all of them were frequent users of the Liberty Center and the programs ikan-ikon provided to them. Most of my Sailors are single and do not have their own cars yet, so ikan-ikon and I communicated frequently and worked together to provide positive recreation opportunities. From the moment I met ikan-ikon, I was impressed by unbridled enthusiasm and limitless energy. ikan-ikon worked incredibly hard, well beyond what was expected of a person in that position, to provide the best and greatest number of opportunities possible for my Sailors. ikan-ikon’s positive attitude was infectious!! ikan-ikon enjoyed a strong relationship with the Sailors under our care, quickly earning their trust and confidence. Frequently sought out by my men for advice and counseling, I trusted her completely to provide the right guidance. ikan-ikon is an excellent worker, a gifted counselor and mentor, and a proven manager. I would highly recommend ikan-ikon for a position with your organization. Please contact me if I can provide you with any further information.

August 3, 2010 Mary-Catherine M. (Manager for MWR)
I am very proud of how hard you have been working! You are doing a superb job. Thank you for all of your very hard work (in re-vamping the Single Sailor Program on the Submarine base.)

August 26, 2016 John L., Owner of 6 Servpro®’s in CT and NJ (Print and Web Marketing, SEO Search Engine Optimization, Social Media Marketing, Website Maintenance)
I found ikan-ikon.com online and hired her to do search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing (SMM), pay per click advertising (PPC), blogging, website development, graphic design, and printing work for my companies. I was repeatedly impressed and surprised by the results of her talents and skills, particularly with web marketing. Within two weeks, she gave me many reports with keywords, custom marketing descriptions, target locations, and target markets (TM). She developed custom marketing plans for every service listed above, then achieved goals with tremendous successes over the next six months. She also did extensive research on target areas for expansion. Within another week we were already listed on page one of online search engine searches. Some highlights are that ikan-ikon developed customized SMM plans and blog articles after studying TM demographics and interests, building our total social media audience up to 5,700 and with weekly post reaches of 460! She came up with incredibly successful hyper targeting keyword and location pay per click advertising that dwarfed my own results from $5,000 a month to $8,000 with a lower cost per click. Then she set up reverse marketing counteracting Google who was charging me hundreds of dollars for nonsense clicks to further improve my return on investment. Plus, the Analytics reports consistently show that the paid PPC advertising brought lower visitors than the organic visitors brought to the website. The June 22 & July 13, 2016 Google Analytics report showed 1,187 sessions from 1,034 users with 2.76 pages per session for a total of 3,278 page views with 387 from PPC at a :31s duration with only a 64.70% bounce rate compared to our corporate average norm of a 90% bounce rate. Her starter efforts paid me back within 3 months, but my businesses will benefit from her marketing forever. She also managed my company’s print marketing creating beautiful and compelling, well thought out marketing materials.

ikan-ikon is an extremely hard worker constantly pushing to achieve new goals with great marketing instincts and seemingly unlimited ideas that she continually pursues relentlessly. She is very task oriented and confidently expresses herself with an amazing amount of constructive information, then implements the plans that each turn to marketing gold.
