Gretchen R Holder,
Creative Problem Solver
Creative Problem Solver
I am a Graphic Designer, Photographer, and all-around Creative Problem Solver with experience in a variety of industries.
I am happy to use my more than 20 years of experience in graphics, publications, web design, and photography to find the technology and platform that will meet your needs with proficiency in industry-standard graphics technology, social media, and e-commerce platforms.
Branding your new or renewed business is more than showing off the latest style or technology. You need design that will stand the test of time and solutions that adapt to every end-use. My years of experience will help you on your way, with a brand image, marketing, and e-commerce that will take you to the next step and beyond.
Since 2020 when I accepted a full-time position with Inktavo, the parent company of InkSoft, I am no longer taking on contract work.
I have managed social media for clients in a variety of industries and I was the only contractor authorized by InkSoft to work with their subscribers, building stores, and providing a range of e-commerce solutions. In 2020 I was hired full time and now manage the Customer Success Teams for both the InkSoft and Graphics Flow platforms.

Gretchen has performed social marketing duties for Smugglers Cove Adventure Golf Courses in Southwest Florida for over two years. Gretchen worked for Netweave while performing these duties. Smugglers Cove has five tourist-based attractions stretching from the St. Pete/Clearwater Beach area to Ft. Myers Beach.
Gretchen oversaw our social marketing at all five locations which included five Facebook and five Instagram accounts as well as Twitter. Gretchen formulated the creative ideas to engage our audience. Through Gretchen’s tenure with us, our business grew as never before. Gretchen also managed our Google, Yelp, Facebook, and Trip Advisor reviews as well.
The social marketing and internet portion of our advertising now far exceeds traditional methods at Smugglers Cove. Gretchen has played the key role for Smugglers in this critical area.
During COVID, Gretchen continued to engage our audience with creative ideas so that we didn’t miss a beat.
Gretchen was professional, communicative and a pleasure to work with! We were disappointed when she left her position. We highly recommend Gretchen.

It is my pleasure to recommend Gretchen. I had the pleasure of working with Gretchen for the past year as our Social Media Community Manager for NetWeave Social Networking. Gretchen provided an invaluable service keeping our social media channels updated and thriving. Our numbers on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter increased dramatically because of the consistent manner of posting.
Gretchen has always been professional and a team player. She went above and beyond to find appropriate content to make our postings interesting and to keep our members engaged. I was very impressed with her knowledge about museums and the cultural sector. She was always willing to learn and to do her own research when necessary.

As Marketing Director for Wagner Realty, I worked closely with Gretchen - she was our social media consultant. She provided guidance for corporate social media strategy and was responsible for content, scheduling, posting, and reporting. We met weekly to brainstorm and I found her level of expertise and professionalism to be exceptional. If you are looking for a talented and capable social media professional, I highly recommend Gretchen!
Elisa Graber - Wagner Realty
Her explanations saved the day, her attitude towards me was patient and she had a delightful sense of humor. I was sad to see her leave the area, but have stayed in touch and I hope to be able to use her for other projects in the future. She has that rare blend of organizational skills and creativity.

I have had the privilege of working with Gretchen on all of our school’s custom orders for many years. She has the ability to take a vague idea and make it come to life; exceeding all expectations. Additionally, Gretchen has always been open to modifying these orders to fit our needs. There is not a single company I would trust more with our custom business orders than Gretchen. She truly is a master at her craft.
Mihija Daniel – Rowlett Academy
Gretchen did a fantastic job on our project. Her quick response time, thorough communication and eagerness for perfection made this project a breeze for our team. We appreciate all her efforts and look forward to working with her again.
