Word Chef | Tea Silvestre - Marketing Consultant, Writer
Helping You Find and Share Your Secret Sauce with the World!
Except for my client Rebecca Joseph (aka The Rabbi Chef), your goal is probably not to be the Next Food Network Star.
But there’s a whole lot that celebrity chefs can teach us about working in a crowded marketplace. The successful ones truly excel at building their brands and growing their fan base. How do they do it? Here are five of their marketing strategies that you can (and should) adopt today:
Tea showed from early on that she had great ability both as a thinker and a creative writer. She never allowed adversity to set her back, and continues to solve problems for forward thinking clients concerned not only with their own success, but with the future good of the planetJohn Klawitter, Creative DirectorCampbell-Ewald Advertising
“I usually don’t have a budget to outsource press releases and PR but I was stuck when we won the Environmental Excellence Award and I needed to get a press release out and I knew that Tea was the woman for the job. She did exactly what I needed. I most highly recommend Tea for anything green business related. Whether you own a green business already or want yours to become a green business.”Donna Von HoesslinOwner

I have taken many marketing classes over the last few years and they were all great. The problem was I couldn’t take much action on all that I learned. I was missing some critical information that I needed before I could market myself and my business at all. I could not for the life of me find the words to express my brilliance (something we all have.) What made me unique, and how on earth could I find ideal clients without knowing? How could I explain, in words, my special talents? And then it …Nancy Meadows

Tea’s integrity and experience was much appreciated in the start up of my business. She created a web site for me to capture the feel of my company I wanted to portray. Thanks Tea!Kathleen Raulin Owner
I was dreading working on my website. I was never happy with the generic site that I had, but the thought of revamping and revising it made me uneasy. Then I met Tea. My experience working with Tea on my new website and marketing copy has been nothing short of incredible. Not only did she create a website that looks like a million bucks (for nowhere near what other developers wanted to charge me), she also taught me valuable writing and marketing skills that took my website copy from generic to …Kelli Proia
Tea helped me find my tune! I had so much fun going through the exercises in the first few modules. [They] let me get to know myself and articulate my values and beliefs. The Word Chef Secret Sauce Workshop helped me tell my story and find a theme to brand my business in a way that is truly me. I’d be still lost and trying to figure out that something special if Tea hadn’t coached me through my big “aha” moment during our sessions. A big “thank you” to Tea for offering her Secret Sauce workshop!Rachel Rubin
Hiring Tea to help me align my personal values with my business was the BEST idea I have had in years. The resulting campaign “Go Blue” was successfully launched and continues to grow.

She has the highest ethics and really strives to create exactly what the client’s want as well as what they really need by listening and understanding each person.

My recommendation for any individual or business planning to create a marketing strategy from scratch, or with an existing marketing strategy that needs tweaking, is to hire Tea.Woody GulledgePartner
Starting a website business was like learning a different language! Tea was referred by my past web designer and I was amazed at her knowledge! She returned EVERY EMAIL within hours or possibly 1-day! That right there, sold me on Tea! I HIGHLY recommend Tea the Word Chef!!!Carrie Katz

Tea and I have teamed up on a few projects and have learned a lot about her work ethic and passion for her clients.

She is a dynamic addition to any business team.Sam BennerExecutive Vice President
