Meet Monica Preston, CMO at Direct Creatives, and Communication Director for the Boulder City Chamber

Hello, and welcome to the Best Dam Podcast. This is your host Jill Lagan, CEO of the Boulder City Chamber. 

In each episode we will highlight what makes Boulder City, home of the Hoover Dam, the ideal place to operate your successful small business, explore world class tourism attractions, and discover why we are the perfect place to live and unwind. 

On today’s show we have the pleasure of speaking with Monica Preston, Chief Marketing Officer at Direct Creatives.

Monica is also a Manager at Wells Fargo Bank here in Boulder City, and on the Board of Directors for the Chamber as Communication Director. 

Direct Creatives is a multi-vendor digital marketplace that helps direct sellers and small business owners save time in creating graphics, checklists, processes, and other critical tools related to their online social presence. Ideal clients include:

  • Direct sellers, small home-based businesses who are actively using social media to connect with clients, potential clients, and are looking for ways to streamline their time so they can focus on income producing activities; and
  • Direct sellers who are looking to diversify their income, control the marketing & price of their products, and need help to accomplish this.

Monica’s Advice to Entrepreneurs

Email marketing is a great way to connect with customers on a platform where you own and control what your audience sees and how often they see it. This has an advantage over social media sites where you’re on rented land.
