“Let’s just say, I didn’t know how much I needed Mary Clay’s help - until I had it! Mary Clay is smart, creative, thoughtful, relatable and just the right amount of funny at the appropriate time. She has been my go to for work on the website, blog, printable materials and social media. She easily navigates these platforms and puts your requests into action. I highly recommend Claiborne Creative! You will likely regret not bringing her on to help sooner.

“Mary Clay Gupton was more than a pleasure to work with! She helped me take my brand and company to exactly what I was looking for and more. She not only took the time to create an amazing brand and website, but she also spent lots of time letting me talk through my thoughts and was so patient and kind — always there to help me process through it all.
MC’s been just as much a professional as a confidant with a main goal of taking clients to the next level. I had no idea what I was doing with branding and web design, but I had a vision, and she literally took it all out of my hands and gave it to me on a silver platter!
Her creativity is through the roof, and anytime I had a change or constructive criticism, she handled and fixed so quickly. She’s a team player and sits down and works with the client, truly wanting the best for them. She gives incredibly helpful input based on her experience and knowledge of the industry as well!”

Not only can she edit grammar, punctuation, etc she transforms the whole document so that it flows beautifully. To top it off, she is a joy to work with and has a heart of gold. I would recommend using Claiborne Creative for ANY of your marketing needs.”
