OUR CLIENTS


WHAT WE’RE SEEING

While each marketer’s individual circumstances are particularly their own, the challenges of the market are surprisingly common.
Marketer’s need new ways to stand out and better educate consumers, businesses, employers and employees on their value and differentiators.
Carriers are missing out on revenue opportunities by speaking to top producers, non-producers and lost producers in the exact same way.
Independent agents want practice management tools that will help them to grow their business.
With the rise of self-serve models, marketers are incorporating data-driven techniques to convert more online quotes.

ART
Erin Fudge Smith
Heavylifter | Art
Erin has been enhancing print, packaging and promotional pieces at agencies in and around Connecticut since graduating from the Art Institute of Boston in 2000. Her career with The Lift Factor started way back then when, through hard work and noticeable talent, she established herself as our parent company’s go-to freelancer. Years later she joined TLF full-time and now serves as our Heavy Lifter of all things Art. Erin provides hands on conceptualization, graphics and design while overseeing the work of freelancers and subcontractors.

Raised not far from our Essex office, Erin and her son Jackson reside locally in close proximity to her big family. Often referred to as an old soul, Erin has a great appreciation for old-timey things like antiques, film noir movies, typewriters and jazz music. She enjoys traveling, reading, entertaining friends & family, and prowling antique stores.

One of Erin’s first jobs was with an air-banner towing company. In exchange for flying lessons she would hook the banners to the back of planes. So, if you have ever read a sign in the sky on the Connecticut shoreline, you may already be familiar with her work.
