Guest – Lorrie Thomas


Lorrie Thomas, M.A., is a Marketing Therapist and the big brain behind Web Marketing Therapy (WMT), a “teaching-organization” brainpower agency of “wild web women” that diagnoses, guides, prescribes and offers safe web marketing treatment options.  Their custom approach to each client addresses the cause of marketing (vs. band-aiding symptoms with binge and purge web marketing execution) so a healthy foundation is set to build and grow from.  WMT fights the cause for healthy marketing, as that is what makes organizations wealthy.  Her agency conducts web marketing clinics and self-help educational services like webinars, whitepapers and online workshops.
Lorrie speaks nationally as a “motivational marketing” expert.  She teaches people how to think strategically on various web marketing related subjects.   When she is not running her agency or speaking, she loves being in the classroom.  She teaches Web Marketing Applications, Social Media Marketing and Search Engine Marketing Applications classes at UCSB Extension and UC Berkeley Extension.
