Since these two internet giants both have free email services, this is where we recommend you start. While Yahoo has a ton of services (such as Yahoo Mail Plus and De.li.cous) it is not quite as advanced at Google (with services such as Gmail, YouTube, Blogger and Google Analytics). By far, Google has the larger number of services that are useful to small business.

Setting up an account such as yourcompany@gmail.com, will help to protect your active company emails and secure a consistent login for you.  Additionally, don’t list too much personal information on your profiles.

When it comes to marketing, Turner is definitely a renaissance practitioner.  Her desire to embrace new challenges and opportunities has given her solid experience with a variety of industries, customer segments, and areas of marketing.

In 1996, Turner began her career in Maryland at AEGON, one of the largest multinational insurance companies in the world, where she was quickly promoted after successfully managing key programs and high-profile affinity group relationships. AEGON provided Turner with extensive direct marketing and business development experience helping to push her to the next level of her career.

In 2000, Celest Turner moved to Johns Hopkins University and became director of marketing.  At this prestigious institution, Turner was responsible for branding, marketing research, CRM, demand generation, media buying, and online marketing for multiple programs and campuses.  She was instrumental in launching the Premedical Post-Bac program, one of the best in the country.

After working the insurance and education sectors, her career then took her to Atlanta. There, she led strategic B2B marketing programs for telecommunications giants such as BellSouth (now AT&T) and Verizon Wireless, where she started the company’s first headquarters-level business email marketing program.

Celest Turner’s colleagues have said she “knows how important it is to win because when companies win, they grow and flourish.”  She “is very adept at driving tangible results” and Turner is a “strategic thinker who connects people and ideas to move a company forward.”

As President of Turner Marketing & Consulting, Celest wants to do one thing: Help businesses and entrepreneurs live long and prosper.  She believes that the knowledge she has gained during her career can move others forward as they strive to be successful in business.

Celest Turner is available for workshops, consulting, and strategic projects.

After obtaining a degree in Theater from the University System of Georgia, Stone plunged into the workforce and moved from Customer Service Representative to Chief Marketing Officer in only 9 years.

In 1998 Stone joined the most recognizable brand in the world, The Coca-Cola Company, it was here where she was introduced to the key principals of branding for the first time.  While at ‘Coke’ she dabbled as a freelance graphic designer and began to intricately study the science of branding.  In 1999 Stone took her freelance design to full time employment helped two other notable brands – The Atlanta Coca-Cola Bottling Company and Delta Air Lines – develop lasting customer relationships.

In 2001, Jai ignited The Brand Coach, a strategic brand development firm based in Atlanta, GA.   As the Chief Brand-ologist and CEO, she leads the creation of corporate & celebrity brand strategies and delivers programs to clients such as Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. and acclaimed NASCAR driver Chase Austin, among others.

In 2005 Stone became the first Certified Personal Brand Strategist (CPBS) in Georgia.  The ‘Brand New, Brand You!’ System gives clients the tools to transform their individual style into a viable brand.  In 2007, Stone’s coveted program earned her a spot on the Manchester Who’s Who Registry and a nomination for the coveted L.A.C.E. Award from the Georgia Women’s Business Council.

In 2008 Stone gained yet another accolade when the Atlanta Business League named her as a finalist for the Creative Style Award.  The League noted Stone for her efforts in bringing minority participation to NASCAR.

The workshop series is a collaboration of The Brand Coach, LLC and Turner Marketing & Consulting.  “To say these classes are NEEDED would be an understatement” says Celest Turner, President of Turner Marketing & Consulting.  “We could not have chosen a better time to launch!!”.  In addition to the fact that the workshops to to be packed with valuable information, the most impressive attribute is the cost.  The introductory rate for the 4-hour session is only $45 per participant.   “We wanted to be sure that this was an affordable resource.” quipped Jai Stone, Chief Brand-ologist and Founder of The Brand Coach, LLC.  “There is no point in offering information that no one can afford to take advantage of.”

While the series will have its debut in Metro Atlanta, event organizers state that taking the workshops on the road may be an option in the near future.  Stay tuned for more details.
