I have been fortunate to work with Marisa Sutherland for three years. Because of Marisa’s personality, we immediately formed a close bond. She is full of ideas and has no problem questioning possibilities. She has a great understanding of the cable television medium as well as our internet properties. The countless promotions we’ve worked on together have so many facets and Marisa has every one of them covered. I was always impressed at the detailed level of attention she put into her work. I’ve attended several functions that were the prize of our promotions and Marisa’s wonderful personality makes such a positive impact on the winners that they feel like they’ve hit the jackpot. Marisa has certainly proven her success during the time I worked with her and I can only hope that we can continue to work together in the future..

NineLives Marketing IS Marisa Sutherland, a kind, compassionate, caring, REAL person who is committed to helping animals and people. That is why she gravitated to helping our organization,
Alliance for Stray Animals and People ("ASAP") and why anyone who knows her work applauds Marisa's breaking away from the corporate practice of marketing to help some smaller organizations. She brings with her the skills, contacts and resources mastered on the corporate clock so to speak.

Her energy is high, her spirit indefatigable, and I think anyone who hires Marisa will be amazed at the zest, verve, creativity, style and zeal she will bring to their operation!

In the four years that I have known Marisa professionally, she has consulted with me on a wide range of strategic marketing and communications issues, ranging from business plan development, customer segment marketing, advertising, media buying and viral marketing, to sponsorship and special events. She has assisted me with event planning and promotions, media contacts, and even with new business development, both for non-profit and for-profit clients. I would heartily recommend retaining Marisa and her firm - both for experienced marketers as well as for smaller organizations and business owners.

I would like to thank Marisa Sutherland for the pleasure of working with her since 2000. She is a kind person and relates to everyone on every level. Marisa is very detail oriented. The projects we worked on were completed without the usual problems associated with marketing a product or service. I like working with Marisa because she genuinely loves her work and the enthusiasm is contagious. I have only taken a few clients to lunch and Marisa is one of them. One of the things I admire about Marisa is that she is interesting without being self-absorbed. She is the absolute best at the planning and execution of an event. If you are planning a small or large project, you have no reason to think of anyone other than Marisa Sutherland.

I have known and worked with Marisa Sutherland for almost four years during my tenure at WBDC-TV.  I work with all types of clients in all kinds of businesses.  Marisa is one of the most detailed, open-minded clients I know.  She is always willing to work out any type of challenge head-on with solving the issue at hand as the goal.  I would entrust her with any job big or small and feel 100% confident that it would be done without delay or mistake.  She is an incredible asset to anyone she works with and understands a lot of different businesses.  She will no doubt be successful in everything she does and I hope to continue to know and work with her for many years to come.
