Our Team

We have found that working with high level “on demand” marketing specialists enables us to bring in experts tailored specifically to the needs of our clients. In today’s business and economic climate, most major and independent advertising and public relations firms rely on freelance support to add specialized services, and to control overhead costs. In addition to our support staff, Essenza Communications works with a team of high level consultants with experience in a variety of industries. We consult with our “virtual” team when projects necessitate outsourcing, and when budget allows for additional expertise. Note that all consultants featured here are independent consultants to Essenza.

Courtney Faust

Courtney was inspired to study Graphic Design when she was 14 after seeing various Absolut vodka ads in her monthly subscription to Interview magazine. She studied Advertising at Pepperdine University and learned “old school” graphic design: using rubylith and rub down letters. Upon graduation she had to dive into all things digital and quickly learned Quark and Adobe Illustrator at her first job. She later learned how to code HTML by hand and now, mostly using WordPress, is the designer AND the developer on all her web creations.
