  • “I have worked with Dave for over five years… Dave was able to share a wealth of knowledge, not just around digital marketing and branding, but for my own personal brand and network building. He helped guide me through marketing campaigns for my startup company, relationship management as I sold my startup, personal branding as I looked for new opportunities, and everything in between. For the startup company, his advice and guidance on our digital presence, as well as his ideas for marketing and how to promote the company were always spot on. As a finance nerd, I can directly attribute at least 70% of sales at my company to ideas and programs that Dave came up with or helped me manage. As a sole founder, I also found having accountability every month to execute on the plans we laid out together imperative to my personal success running and eventually selling my company. I cannot speak highly enough of his creativity, guidance, advice, expertise and easy-going nature that makes it so easy to work with him (the "Nice Guy" monicker certainly fits!). And, of course, that he can deliver that expertise in layman's terms, in a way someone like me could understand and execute. I highly recommend Dave for anyone seeking one a highly accomplished thought leader on all things digital, social, marketing and networking!” - Phil Shmerling, SVP, Relationship Manager at Studio Bank.

  • “I'll keep this short and to the point - spending time with Dave to glean his insights, perspective, and experience to help navigate the evolving circumstances we all face... is priceless. Dave is at the top of my list as a resource and advisor.” - Christopher Parks, Founder, CDO, SVP, Business Development - Change Healthcare.

  • “After spinning our wheels for months and not always seeing a return on our investment of time and advertising dollars, we went in search of someone to help us make sense of the current trends in digital marketing. We met and hired Dave to audit our two companies and to help us develop a social strategy for both. He was always an email or phone call away, and he helped us clean everything up to create order and start making wise decisions on our marketing strategy. Once, he even jumped onto the admin portion of our website to get down a pop up that was outdated when our web designer couldn't be reached. He really cares that much! We cannot recommend him enough for anyone who is confused or overwhelmed on how to market your product or service digitally in a climate that seems to change daily.” - Suzanne C. Bowen, founder and creator of BarreAmped.

  • “I love working with Dave. He is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of digital media. He comes up with great ideas and knows how to implement them. He is also a talented writer and is quite creative. I would recommend him highly.” - Jean Spivey, Old Settler’s Music Festival.

  • “I worked with Dave for an extended period in an effort to sharpen my digital marketing strategies. His advice was invaluable as he stretched me to think outside my comfort zone. Dave is also fun to work with, as he helped me connect the dots between all the social media channels.” - Jim Cumbee JD, MBA.

  • “I was Lost and Confused until I Met Dave! Dave never thought twice about taking me on, he did an audit, created goals and outlined the steps to reach those goals. He patiently helped me implement the tools he recommended to create the infrastructure my business was lacking. His positive attitude and responses when I was completely frustrated by technical issues are a testament to his passion for teaching and sharing best practices. The results so far, double digit increase in traffic across all our social media platforms and website. As an online consultant and all around nice guy, Dave gets my highest recommendation!” - Meryl Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer at Mark Zinder & Associates.

  • “If you have an opportunity to work together, it will be worth it.” - Anastasia Kudrez: Speaker Manager and Lead Educator for Grow with Google.
