Mike Sharkey, Vice President Analytics, Blackboard

“Iris Creative’s expertise was exactly the kind of assistance that I needed for my growing business. As an educational technology startup with a background in software engineering, we were able to develop a strong product offering. However, we didn’t have the sales experience to know the best way to take the product to the market. Shannon’s experience in higher ed sales helped us create a sales strategy and pipeline from scratch. She also worked with us to develop a marketing approach that went hand-in-hand with the sales strategy.”

Frances Cairns, CEO and Co-founder, CampusQuad

Shannon and I have worked together building ed-tech businesses in the past, which prompted me to immediately think of her when we needed to accelerate sales at CampusQuad. Shannon brought invaluable domain expertise and insight that allowed her to quickly develop a strategic sales strategy and operational process to accurately assess the pipeline, set aggressive goals for growth, and execute to meet forecast. Additionally, Shannon facilitated many business development introductions and was a vitalizing participant on my executive team. I consider Shannon a creative and strategic thinking partner and expect we will work together again in the future.

Kerry Pigman

President and COO, Ed Map Inc.

"When Ed Map embarked on a strategic pivot in the Higher Education market, we asked Iris Creative to help us validate the market opportunity and devise a Go-to-Market Strategy. Shannon worked closely with the Ed Map Sales, Marketing, Product and Executive teams to expand on our prior work, contributing her market knowledge and research. Her Go-to-Market Strategy resonated well so I asked Shannon to lead executing the plan with the goals of rallying our Sales and Marketing organizations around the pivot and introducing our new direction to partners, customers and the market in general. A year since the project began, we are delighted with the results achieved and now consider Shannon an essential member of the Ed Map team".
