SEA AND BE SCENE... And HEARD Watch & Listen

Naomi Snieckus on Sea and be Scene and Heard

Broadcast Date – March 28, 2018

Well, what a treat it was to connect with today’s very busy guest – award-winning actress, writer, improviser, voice-over artist, director, teacher and without question kindred spirit Naomi Snieckus. I first met this talented lady on the Halifax set of her hit CBC series MR.D. Naomi plays Phys-Ed teacher Bobbi Galka and she’s a riot at it! Naomi and the gang will return to the less-than-hallowed halls of Xavier Academy to film the 8th and final Season of MR.D this summer so we’ll chat with her about that. Plus we talk about her hit made-for-TV movie Z-O-M-B-I-E-S that just premiere to smash ratings on the Disney Channel and we’ll get the scoop on not one but two cool podcasts she’s got on the go – FIRECRACKER DEPARTMENT that features the brightest female minds in show business and BARAM & SNIECKUS which features the funniest folks around – co-hosts by 2 Canadian comedy greats Naomi and her hilarious husband Matt Baram. She’s got all that and she’s out in LA creating even more if you can believe it. There’s plenty of wonderful stuff to chat about and with plans to squeeze in a round of INsights IN 10 with Ms.S – I say let’s get to it – here’s my telephone conversation with the one and only Naomi Snieckus!

CHESTER RACE WEEK

Chester Race Week

“We reached out to Stephanie just a few weeks before Chester Race Week, hoping she could help us with our social media, and she jumped right in. She came up with some very creative reels and produced content that was polished, professional, and fun, elevating our online presence. She brought great energy and enthusiasm, knew exactly what we needed, and exceeded our expectations. Stephanie was a real pleasure to work with, and we’re so grateful for the excellent work she delivered for Race Week.”

Got Your Back Apparel

“Launching a brand comes with hundreds of boxes to tick, and Stephanie helped us focus on what truly mattered. She didn’t feel like a consultant — she felt like an owner, fully invested and growing the company right alongside us. From marketing and promotions to our online shop and in-person markets, she brought clarity, momentum, and confidence at every step. Her passion, attention to detail, and genuine belief in what we were building made all the difference. I highly recommend working with her!”

ROCK THE FIDDLE

Rock the Fiddle

“We were thinking about launching our inaugural festival when we realized we had no social media, or even a website. We figured we would have to delay our launch to get it sorted. We contacted Stephanie Beaumont and within 24 hours we had full social media presence, a landing page and the structure for our website, and she even created our graphic branding which will live on as our permanent festival brand. More impressive than that, within 5 days under Stephanie’s social media management, we had over 1000 followers on our event page. We contracted Stephanie to manage our social media leading up to our event and she was a rock star! We simply couldn’t have done it without her.”

South Shore Tourism Cooperative

“It was a true pleasure working with Stephanie to create visitsouthshore.ca. Stephanie’s unique ability to weave business details into stories creates a picture in the mind of the would-be travel that has them standing on Nova Scotia’s South Shore while still seated at home planning their visit.

Stephanie writes with enthusiasm and delight that can be felt in each word she puts on the page. When the task at hand is to create not only the want to travel but to ensure the destination is chosen as THE spot to travel to, Stephanie’s ability to create an emotional connection and to elicit memories was a perfect fit.

Stephanie’s level of understanding allows her to look at the site from the visitor, the organization and the businesses being represented points of view. She kept us focused on our concept while ensuring the fun flag was always waving!

Stephanie was a true joy to work with and we appreciate the continued relationship! We can’t imagine telling Nova Scotia’s South Shore story without her.”

Lunenburg Board of Trade

“Working with Stephanie on our Shop Local campaign was an absolute dream! She was full of creative ideas, professional guidance, and the work she did was always, always top-notch.

She answered every silly question I had and really took the time to explain the why’s behind everything and make sure I understood the process. We now have a fully formed marketing campaign that can be easily rolled out in future years thanks to Stephanie’s fantastic work.

In addition to the quality work she produces, she’s also got a wonderful, enthusiastic personality and is a blast to work with! – I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for help with a variety of marketing and design needs –  and I hope to be able to work with her again in the future.”

The Year Round Vegetable Gardener

“Jumping from radio and writing into TV was both fun and easy with the experienced guidance of Stephanie from Rae of Hope Productions.

She crafted a high-quality pilot that received rave reviews from gardeners across Canada and the US who tuned in to hone their gardening skills. She’s professional, creative, knowledgeable, and most of all, enthusiastic, which made me comfortable every step of the way.”

Niki Jabbour

Wharf Rat Rally Association

“Stephanie was wonderful to work with – full of exuberance, yet professional and focused. Her preparation ahead of time made filming easy and enjoyable, and the end result was loved by our whole Board of Directors.

With her guidance and expertise, the entire project ran on time, on budget, and with no stress at all.

Thank you, Stephanie!”

Tourism Chester

“Stephanie led the Tourism Chester program for us for a little over two years helping us build it from the ground up.

She was a great addition to the team, bringing an incredible amount of energy and creativity to the role and was always coming up with new and innovative ideas to expand the program.”

Erin Lowe

Economic Development Officer, Municipality of Chester

The Chester Playhouse Theatre

“What a wonderful experience I had in working with Stephanie. When The Chester Playhouse suspended programming due to the pandemic, we were faced with a dark stage – a cancelled season and no way to entertain our audience. However, like us, Stephanie knew the show must go on so she suggested we host our very own radio program and as a result, The Chester Playhouse Radio Show was created! Not only did Stephanie do the research, write, and produce the 2-hour weekly broadcast – she jumped on to co-host with me. The 9-week campaign allowed us to reach our loyal patrons, grow our audience, and thank our generous sponsors all while keeping the Chester Playhouse Theatre brand centre stage in our community. It was truly fun and oh so fortuitous!”

Digby Area Learning Association

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Stephanie while developing a new website for our organization. Stephanie’s enthusiasm, creativity, and ability to accurately envision our needs was a huge plus.  It was apparent that customer satisfaction is a top priority for Stephanie as she worked very diligently to ensure that the final result met our expectations.

I can easily say that they not only met expectations but exceeded them. She took the extra steps to make sure we understood the concepts of marketing, branding, and communication, and I feel I learned a lot from her in a very lot from her in a short period of time.  I would certainly recommend Stephanie Beaumont and her company, Rae of Hope Productions for any of your marketing needs.”

Charles Cranton, CPA
