Her clients come from a variety of industries: technology\, e-learning\, retail\, events management\, health and wellness\, and others.\n Companies call on her to help determine what sets them and their products apart\, and how to communicate that distinction to their markets.\n Lea-Ann is a frequent guest lecturer and judge for international marketing award programs. In 2011 the Triangle Business Journal recognized her with a Women in Business award for significant accomplishments in business and community service. Learn more at www.sleddogg.com.\n \n\n
