Organized, efficient, creative, understanding, timely and helpful are just some descriptive words about Dereka’s personality and demeanor. Hailing from my sweet country Trinidad and Tobago there was NO hesitation working with her as she made everything a seamless process. She takes time to execute the work to the best of her ability and to also meet the needs and goals of the clients business. I appreciate her so much and everything she has done for the greater GROWTH of my business. I have seen a huge transformation and the feedback that I got thus far I wouldn’t want to trade or replace her for any other social media personnel. Keep up the great work and I look forward to growing each other’s business in the near future. Thank you so much. You are definitely GOD sent!

Dereka has transformed my Social Media Platform and my business. And she did it in just ONE MONTH! She got me out of my "shell" and I even started doing IG lives. Dereka acts with integrity and takes initiative. A HUGE weight has been lifted now that's she is managing my Social Media and I can now focus fully on the operations. My business has evolved and grown tremendously in 30 days. THANK YOU Dereka.

Working with Smarkethut has been a really great experience. I had no idea how to organize my page or what content to use, she really made the process seamless. Dereka also introduced me to applications that have made the creative process easier, hand held me through everything she was doing and made sure that I was happy with the direction the page was going. She was also always accessible if I had any questions and available if a meeting was necessary. But most importantly kept me on track in a polite professional manner.
