Thank you Paola for all you do to showcase community wide businesses and events across South Florida and we can’t wait for many more programs together in the future!” – Valerie Roy, CI Management
“The Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce has promoted our annual Burgerlicious festival the past two years via Coral Gables Love. We had a great response from the Coral Gables Love community who clearly are discriminating burger lovers. It’s refreshing to see the immediate ROI as people engage with the Coral Gables Love social media posts and spread the word about our premier foodie festival. What an incredible resource for us to be able to reach the Coral Gables community right where they are – and in a key demographic of consumer, ages 18-45. I definitely recommend social media marketing via Coral Gables Love for any business with customers in the Coral Gables area.” – Mark A. Trowbridge, President & CEO at Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce.

It’s amazing the impact this blog has and how much readers value and appreciate Paola’s recommendations. Thank you, Paola, for shining the light on those around you and for believing in us!” – Mari Rubio, Owner, Casa Gioia
