Reviews
“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.”
Amy B. President & COO
“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.”
Robyn S. VP Business Development
“Brian came onto my marketing staff 3 years ago. After redesigning 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.”
