i need to be honest with you…

I'm wrestling with the decision of either continuing in a corporate role as part of someone else's team or fully committing to my agency. Here's a rundown of the skills and experiences I bring to the table in both scenarios.

Seeking a savvy brand strategist/designer to add to your team?

I’ve hustled and thrived in the non-profit universe and the somewhat niche world of retail real estate. Yeah, it's an unexpected combo, but it's equipped me with a bag full of skills you probably need to make your marketing team thrive.

  • Rock-Solid Collaboration Skills: I thrive on teamwork and deliver top-notch results while keeping an eagle eye on the budget.

    Reading the Room: Navigating between upper management and board members? No sweat. I get the needs of different players and speak their language.

    Smooth Operator in Interdepartmental Communication: I'm the bridge between teams, making sure everyone’s on the same page and paddling in sync.

    Nailing Presentations: Whether it's a boardroom pitch or a casual team pow-wow, I know how to keep 'em engaged and excited.

    Design Wizardry: Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, and juggling platforms like Joomla, Wordpress, and Squarespace? Consider it done.

    I’m amped to bring this arsenal of skills and a track record of impactful brand strategies to your crew. Let's kick things up a notch and make some serious waves together.

  • “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Arletta through the Polish American Association, of which I am a director. As a non-profit deeply embedded in our community, our print collateral and content began to feel redundant and uninspiring over time. Arletta’s creative design has allowed our organization to take on a more exciting and engaging feel.

    From print design and social media content, to event branding, Arletta has raised the standard for PAA’s graphic aesthetic. She was able to take the core values of our organization, and incorporate them into professional and inspiring content.

    I would definitely work with Arletta again, and know she will be an asset to any organization looking to begin a transformation.”

    — Adam Kamieniak | PAA Board Member

    “Arletta Gromek is as talented a designer you will see. As a board member of the Polish American Association, I had the privilege of working with her on numerous fundraisers.

    The design, content and execution exceeded expectation. From event invitations and sponsorship packages, to letterheads and social media content, Arletta always delivered beautiful, custom designs.

    From providing multiple design schemes to buttoning up the tiniest of details seconds before going to print, and with her ethic and attention to our organizations vision, she was able to make the process enjoyable and easy.

    I highly recommend her for any design, branding or electronic media task or campaign. Truly a wonderful experience.”

In need of a versatile consultant/designer on demand?

Beyond my corporate and non-profit experiences, I bring an entrepreneurial flair (thanks, Dad!). As the mastermind behind e-coco, a design subscription agency offering unlimited design requests at a flat monthly fee, I've delved into a world of creative solutions.

  • Mastering B2C Services I've woven my magic with a multitude of B2C service brands, shaping their destinies by defining target markets, chiseling visual identities, crafting logos, websites, and an array of other impactful deliverables.

    Brand Development Maven I specialize in nurturing brands, from their inception to stardom, strategizing their growth, and fostering their unique identities.

    Content Consultation Guru Crafting content that resonates is my forte. As your consultant, I ensure your message speaks volumes to the right audience.

    Workshops and Presentations Aficionado I’m not just about designs and strategies; I thrive on sharing insights. From hands-on workshops to captivating presentations, I'm your guide to the intricate art of branding and content strategy.

  • “Arletta is a wizard, a total creative magician!

    Arletta has the ability to ask you deep penetrating questions so as to uncover your brands authentic identity. I'm sure I was not easy client, but boy oh boy did she deliver. I'm so happy with my logo!

    On top of my logo design she also created a website that was exactly what I wanted- despite the fact that I had no idea what I actually wanted!! She dug into my depths and found the answers, and then created a master piece that I adore. She has the magic touch alright. On top of all that, she was patient, oh so patient with me and such a charming lovely human being to spend time with. She has become a close friend and I recommend her all the time! In fact, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She's a joy to work with, and an absolute master of her craft!

    Thinking about working with her? My suggestion: Do it and don't look back!”

    — William Griffin | Life Coach

    Arletta is one of the best creative talents I have ever come across - topped with an excellent attitude and work ethic. She is very professional and knows her stuff. She excelled in the knowledge of what she was doing, level of professionalism and customer service.

    I was 100% completely satisfied with her work. I highly recommend her and I will definitely come back for more. Thank you.

    “Arletta is a like a brand magician!

    She has NAILED my vision and helped bring my business dreams to life. I’m so grateful I’ve had the opportunity to work with her over the past few months and my brand has come SO far with her strategic mindset and unwavering support and belief in my vision. She has the ability to get in alignment with me very quickly and asks the right questions to understand what we need to create. She helped to keep me on track and she executed very quickly throughout the process.

    The branding aesthetic itself is beautiful, and I’m totally loving what we’ve created. But what I appreciate the most is the way Arletta asked questions and guided me to clarity on my vision. We started working together at time when I was still solidifying some key components of my offerings. She was patient, curious, and supportive and when I doubted a part of my offering she brought us back to what was important to me and the brand. She has ensured we stay true to the core essence of the brand the whole way through and I have really enjoyed this process. It’s been so fun and delightful and Arletta is truly a skilled strategist and designer, and just an amazing human.

    Thank you Arletta for sharing your gifts with me!”
