I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

Honestly, I'm happy I did because Fadi and his team were really cool to work with. As we started, Fadi and I had a quick consultation where he asked for some details on what I was looking for. Literally a day later, he provided me with multiple great concepts, styles, and directions on where we could go with my logo. I selected my favorite option and he began working on my design right away. What I really appreciated was Fadi's expertise and genuine feedback on how to make my brand and logo stand out as we finalized it. Overall, smooth and professional experience and I'm really happy with how my logo turned out.

Stay far far away and use a better webmaster who will actually keep his word.

Not only…read moredoes she know her stuff and works with me, but she truly cares about me and growing my business. She meets me exactly where I'm at and knows how to motivate me for success. Speaking of caring - she actually calls for updates to find out where I am at with my goals and always asks how she can help! Most people send out quick emails, if that. She takes the time to stay on the phone with me just to check in. This personalized approach works best for me as I know I have someone I can truly rely on. I value this part of her so much. When I am having anxiety and feel stuck, she talks me through it until she knows she has calmed me down. Working with Rosalidia isn't just a business transaction, it's the furthest from it. I feel like I'm hanging out with a friend who has my best interest at heart. She takes pride in my growth, well-being, and accomplishments. She is truly a gem and I feel honored to work with her. Rosalidia's aura is so uplifting and her spirit is super positive. Just talking to her makes me feel like I can accomplish everything I want!

I felt truly seen and welcomed to be "finally recognized". Thank you so so so much for dedicating your time to make some magic wonders! If you're looking for someone who makes a shoot fun, book with him.

When you're a marketing consultant you need help with YOUR OWN marketing. Yep! I said it. LOL!…read more That's why I hired Caron - first with her 12-week coaching program and then, when I wanted it "just handled", I hired her AGAIN. Then, I hired her for the same work for my client which shortly grew their social media following for a 30+ year-old business. Caron is so much more than a video expert. She's a whiz with social media, making offers and implementing visual media into my overall marketing program. Her deep, deep mastery of Instagram, Facebook, Google, Yelp, and LinkedIn make her an invaluable part of my team. As much as I'm a tech weenie, Caron has substantially increased my skills and knowledge to improve my use of social media marketing. Besides all of her tech and marketing skills, you won't find a better support for when you've got doubts, you're figuring out if you're business is headed in the right direction or helping you when you're struggling through normal trials and tribulations of being a business owner. An unexpectedly fantastic bonus of working with Caron.
