A creative consultant’s goal is to help artists better market themselves. With knowledge of photography, advertising, the internet and marketing, Amanda Sosa Stone can help artists speak the language of their potential client. Services range from structuring portfolios to editing film. Amanda knows each photographer/client is different. Some photographers know which direction they want to go, but they don’t know how to market themselves. Others have established a target market but would like to improve on their marketing, and some photographers want to completely revamp and create a new image for themselves. With each individual, Amanda’s goal is to make their dreams a reality.
