Helen Burness is truly a woman who wows, and I am so excited to feature her in this series. I met her – where else? – on LinkedIn! I am such a fan of her posts on every social media channel and so thankful that social brought us together from across the pond.

After many years at the forefront of change in legal, she set Saltmarsh Marketing to champion innovative founders and businesses in legal to give them a powerfully recognisable voice. Her work involves crafting strategies and plans, developing distinctive brands, creating memorable campaigns, building stand-out websites and harnessing the power of social media on the company, the founder and team level.

As the owner of AJA Marketing, Amy Adams helps businesses, professionals, associations and nonprofits achieve growth, develop business, increase profitability and improve upon their marketing infrastructure.

A former paralegal and marketing executive at a prominent regional law firm, Amy has worked with several nonprofit associations, businesses, law firms, and executives across the Northeast region. In 2014, Amy launched AJA Marketing to serve the marketing and business strategy needs of her clients through personalized, comprehensive services.

I met Amy through her work with the Association of Corporate Counsel’s New York City Chapter, where she serves as Executive Director. At the time, I was an in-house law firm marketer who worked closely with Amy on sponsorships and events that the law firms at which I worked wanted to pursue with the ACC. We got to know each other through the years and I’m excited for her to share her insights and career path in the Women Who Wow series.
