There are many people that visit the The Mark Twain House & Museum Visitor Center every year for other events who never go on a tour. The goal was give those visitors a sneak-peak into what they’d see on a tour.

Lisa came to me with her plan to create joke books for kids based on her Punny Peep characters. She has been an elementary school teacher in Bristol, CT for 25 years and came up with the idea of her Punny Jokes to Tell Your Peeps books as a way to help parents and teachers everywhere inspire children to read with jokes. She wanted a fun, vibrant logo to represent her silly, lighthearted characters and the books they would be in.

Caitlin was ahead of the curve when it came to using social media as a tool for business. So much so that she made the decision to start her own business.
