Camelback East Marketing
A lot of business websites underperform not because of design, but because the basics aren’t doing their job.
🏢 For Biltmore‑area and Phoenix businesses, four simple questions matter more than fancy layouts:
- Is it clear what the business does?
- Is there an obvious next step for the visitor?
- Does the website support local visibility?
- Can the business tell what is working and what is not?
A website should do more than exist. It should build trust, support local visibility, and move the right people toward action.
Camelback East Marketing is proud to be a new member of the Biltmore Area Partnership. We help Phoenix‑area businesses tighten the fundamentals: clear messaging, local SEO, and measurement that actually shows what’s working.

Message From Arizona State Treasurer Kimberly Yee
April is Financial Literacy Month 💰, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of wise money management. Treasurer Yee continues encouraging Arizonans to make smart financial decisions and emphasizes the connection between strong household finances and the overall fiscal health of Arizona.
In March, Treasurer Yee spoke at the annual Capitol Seminar organized by The Center for Rural Leadership, Project CENTRL, where she shared insight into her responsibilities as State Treasurer and her ongoing commitment to protecting Arizona taxpayers.
Treasurer Yee also met with partners at Capitol Cities 🤝. Through the collaborative work of that team and others, the AZ529 Education Savings Plan has grown to a record $2.98 billion in assets, with 68,974 new accounts added during the 65 months she has administered the plan.
In addition, Treasurer Yee spoke with the Arizona Business and Professional Women’s group during their visit to the Capitol. She discussed the Treasury’s performance and highlighted how Arizona families can save for education through an AZ529 Education Savings Plan 🎓.
Organizations needing assistance are encouraged to contact the Treasurer’s Office at (602) 542-7800 or visit aztreasury.gov/contact.
Sincerely,
Arizona State Treasurer Kimberly Yee
