Reviews& Feedback
-
Brian’s ability to deliver consistent and measurable results on time and under budget, makes him an essential part of our team. CanvasCamp has grown 30% year-over-year for the last 3 years and Brian has been at the table every step of the way. I rely on Brian for no nonsense, data driven input on the biggest decisions we make as a company as much as his precise execution of technical detail.

Brian came onto my marketing staff 3 years ago. After helping to redesign our internet presence he was instrumental in dramatically increasing our visibility and conversions across the search engine spectrum. All without the additional expense of buying location and "paying" for hits. Most business owner's search high and low to find a guy with Brian's knowledge and experience. Lots of providers say (or wish), they could do what Brian actually does.

I have known and worked with Brian at two different companies over the last nine years in both marketing and product development. I can attest to his breadth and depth of experience. He is exceptionally well-rounded and versed in User Experience, UX Design, Engineering, Marketing Acquisition and Retention Strategies.

Brian is a gifted multi-media design/artist and marketing professional. He is also an excellent problem solver. I have had many occasions to watch him successfully take on a challenging project. Brian has a calm, “can do” attitude. I am always confident when Brian takes the lead position that the task will be completed on time and more importantly that it will be done right. I have never been disappointed in this regard.
