Knowledge is deep within so many areas, inbound, content, organic and paid search, social media, email, the list goes on
I've been working with Craig and his team for years and cannot recommend him highly enough. He always has the most up to date knowledge and truly understands the "why" behind many marketing strategies.His knowledge is deep within so many areas, inbound, content, organic and paid search, social media, email, the list goes on.
Having such a wide set of skills gives me comfort that whatever suggestions he has are well thought out and goal oriented, unlike so many fad marketing companies that only focus on a single channel or modality that suffer from "I have a hammer so everything must be a nail" type thinking. To top it off, Craig is one of the nicest guys you could meet. He's easy to work with, solutions focused and always gives in depth explanations into any campaign. I always learn something new after talking to Craig!
