“SEECs Digital Marketing Program has been a game changer for my small business.  It helped provide the motivation and financial support I needed to take the next step in growing my business as an artist.  Instead of adding to a "To-Do List" I was finally able to put money and time towards projects that would get me noticed on a larger scale.”

Casey Beal, Founder & Owner of Casey Beal Designs, based in Middleburgh, NY.
