As someone who has known Ami for the most part of my life, I have become witness to her professional capabilities most recently in 2010 when she helped Shepler’s Mackinac Island Ferry survive and halt the monopolization process of the Mackinac Island Ferry system. Ms. Woods developed a Facebook page that immediately went viral, offering a professional platform for all to voice their opinions while answering all questions effectively and in a timely manner. I am convinced that this effort by Ami led us to where we are today operating in a free market society. Ami is a Social media specialist who is a bulldog when it comes to protecting and promoting a company’s culture and brand. Her awareness of social media and the power it holds is a most valuable asset. Talented, smart and quick would be the best way for me to describe Ami. When hired she will not disappoint. Ami would be an asset to whatever team she works with.

Creativity and adaptability are two characteristics that come to mind when referring to Ami. In social media, a brand has to stand out to be recognized and she has helped Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center to be more than a hotel in a famous headquarters building. She has highlighted benefits while engaging with individuals to create optimal social customer service experiences. Her cooperation and coordination working with myself at the Detroit CVB has proved to be beneficial for both parties – increasing the reach of positive Detroit images and smashing negative perceptions. Working with Ami is seamless.

In this day and age, the importance of “positive” visibility for a hotel through social media is crucial. Ami & I have worked together at two different hotels and the impact her intense dedication to our social media channels (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Tripadvisor, Instagram, etc.) has had is tremendous. She is very involved with her hotel/geographic location she represents and is sure to make sure our hotels are as engaged with our customers as possible. With her help, we’ve been successful at retaining and strengthening our client base.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Ami on several grassroots projects where she offered contract services dealing with issue campaigns in both Congress and the Legislature. Ami’s delivery of services has always been prompt and detailed, reaching and exceeding established goals. In addition to her grassroots work, Ami has also been a valuable social media advisor offering a thorough analysis of current candidate’s social presence. She has a proven and solid understanding of the current methods surrounding this particular medium of digital marketing.

Ami is very detail-oriented and will complete every task on time and on budget. She has great graphic arts and computer skills that benefited our organization tremendously. Her willingness to take on difficult challenges is unmatched. She has the ability to communicate effectively with all levels of management and throughout all layers of employees. I enjoyed working with Ami during our years at the United Center.

Ami has been instrumental in changing our social media presence and continues to think outside of the box when it comes to attracting social content. I can honestly say that due to Ami’s creativity and talent our social media results have improved exponentially. Our owners continually state that she is of their 50 hotels the best social media person that they have worked with and her practices are by far the best.
