We work like a creative partner, not a vendor. That means thinking like a publisher, designing like a stylist, and measuring like an analyst — all under one roof.
Meet SondraEvery engagement starts with a conversation, not a template. We get to know your audience, your goals, and the heartbeat of your brand before a single pixel moves.
I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Sondra for 2+ years, and hope to continue for many more years to come. She has a no-BS attitude with an impressive work ethic, which I appreciate. Hiring her has been one of the best decisions I have made for my company. She tackles everything thrown at her (including the launch of an 8th publication — surprise!), which has freed up time that I need to spend elsewhere on the company. I don't know how she does so much, and makes it look so easy.
Sondra, owner of The Media Barr, is the best editor I've ever worked with. I have been working in the industry for 12 years, and have seen many editors come and go. Sondra, in my opinion, is the easiest to work with, extremely friendly, and very good at what she does. I would highly recommend using The Media Barr for your next project. You will not be disappointed. There's nothing she can't do.
Sondra can do it all in publishing. For the past 11 years, and for as long as she'll have us, Sondra has provided us expert writing and editing for all our magazines, website content, and social media. She's been an invaluable part of our team with many important decisions and always brings experience and creativity to the table. Sondra handles each conversation, project, and deadline with utmost professionalism and eagerness. We are blessed to have her. Thanks a million, Sondra!
I want to take a moment and express my appreciation for the artful (communication and graphic) task you are achieving for Prestige's Facebook entries. The posts have been genuine with a variety of teachable and chuckle moments. Grateful for your talents! Stay "cool" and thank you, again!
