Member Spotlight: Brian Quinn, Centinel Financial Group LLC
This week we're happy to feature member Brian Quinn of Centinel Financial Group LLC. Centinel Financial Group works with individual and businesses to reach their personal goals and maximize opportunities.
What does "Centinel" mean? Centinel is an American Revolutionary term signifying guarding and protection. That summarizes Centinel Financial Group's philosophy:
Our brand is a direct reflection of our planning philosophy to help our clients accumulate, protect and preserve their lifestyle, assets and loved ones. What this means is that we invest the time to understand the challenges that our clients face in today’s economic environment and design innovative and creative strategies that help our clients reduce or eliminate these challenges and maximize their opportunities. The real benefit is the clarity and confidence our clients feel in regard to their financial security.
If you'd like to learn more, you can check out their website or give Brian a call at 781-446-5027.
Join us on March 13th for Brian's presentation Taking Care of Business at the Tri-Town Chamber offices. R.S.V.P. directly to the chamber at 508-339-5655.
Donna Mac, owner of DMac Voice& Media, is a professional broadcaster with over 25 years of experience. Her mission is to craft and communicate messages that have to "first connect with and then hopefully move people."
Not only has Donna been an on air radio personality, but she's created two successful and long running interview programs on both radio and television. She's also been a commercial spokesperson for a variety of products.
Today she still provides these services, but also helps business owners find their own voice. She's instrumental in helping them produce audio or audio/visual programs and products. In addition she educates individuals and organizations to "effectively and clearly communicate thoughts with confidence and ease."
As Donna says:
"Whether you need to deliver your message in person, over video or in a recorded podcast my coaching and mentoring will help you to go from nervous to confident and help make sure your message is clear…not cloudy. And all of it can be done in a very short period of time.
And the lessons you learn will last you for a lifetime."
To hear Donna in person, join us Friday March 8th for The Women's Link from 7:30-9:30am at the Mansfield Music and Arts Society where Donna will be talking about The Fear of Speaking.
The Communication Arts Group is a full service communication studio with 20+ years of experience together. They specialize in branding and identity programs, direct marketing, advertising, website development and search engine optimization.
They describe what they do and how they do it succinctly on their website:
Below the surface of every company is a persona, which reflects its core character, its essence, its truth. This is the company's brand. Brand value is partly what determines how well a company can protect its price position in the marketplace and defend its market share—two things we take very seriously.
So much so, in fact, that we’ve organized our services into three distinct silos to help our clients (and us) unearth your unique company or product brand persona and then convey that uniqueness to customers in meaningful, relevant, and memorable ways. These silos represent our process for building equity in a brand and achieving measurable return on marketing investment.
They have worked with clients such as the 99 Restaurants, Roger Williams Medical Center, Hasbro, Lifespan, and the United Way. To see their full client list, click here.
Member Spotlight: Team F.E.E.D. at Best Buy in Mansfield, MA
Have you wanted to learn more about your new iPad or how to use your Android phone? What about Windows 8? Or even how to upload pictures?
Team F.E.E.D is there to help. Offering 3-4 classes a month in the Mansfield, Plymouth and North Attleboro Best Buy stores, these dedicated individuals help make technology less overwhelming.
Their Mission:
To educate our customers on technology, making it fun and easier to understand. We show them all that is possible, and how it connects to their daily lives.
What does Team F.E.E.D. stand for?
F.E.E.D. has two meanings. First it stands for Facilitate, Educate, Engage and Demonstrate, all key elements of their classes. It also stands for the admission. Participants of the workshops are encouraged to bring a bag of non-perishable food in lieu of an entrance fee. All of this food is then donated to the local food pantries.
Not only do we want to F.E.E.D. their minds, and hearts, we want to help “FEED” our communities.
Their big event of the year is GALS Night, usually the third weekend in October. It's a great night where you can come into the store after hours for education, food, fun prizes and more.
