Our Team

Cherie Prochaska, Managing Director

cherie@c-squaredassociates.com / 503-272-1878 / @CherieProchaska

A recent graduate from the University of San Francisco’s Internet Marketing Master Certificate program, Cherie Prochaska also holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Texas A&M University where she majored in Marketing and earned a certificate in International Business.

Through her masters courses she gained insight into the cutting-edge practices of the wild wild west (or, world wide web) and the resources required to maintain that edge.

Cherie began her career as a sales manager in the hotel and tourism industries and has first-hand experience with good and bad marketing efforts and how those efforts affect the bottom line. These experiences helped shape her strong belief that marketing should not be measured by awareness but sales.

She lives in Beaverton, Oregon with her husband, twin boys, and miniature beagle. You can find her irregularly chronicling that adventure at The Prochaska Archives.

Julia Adam, Teller of Tales

julia@c-squaredassociates.com / @julia_adam

Julia loves stories which led her to complete a degree in Dramatic Writing with a focus on Screenwriting from New York University in 2001.

A stint in the film and television industry advanced her skill in storytelling, after which a thirst for adventure sent her traveling the globe. Julia’s experiences abroad enhanced her appreciation for the tourism industry, and in 2005 she returned to New York University where she earned her Master of Science degree in Tourism and Travel Management with a concentration in Strategic Marketing.

Julia believes that marketing is all about storytelling, and in order for an organization to fulfill its goals, it must first tell its story in a compelling way so that customers feel truly connected to the brand.

A recent transplant to Denver, Colorado, Julia spends her free time soaking up all the Colorado sunshine she can while hiking, camping, skiing, and wandering Denver’s charming neighborhoods.
