“Great to work with.”

“Scott does an incredible job of taking every aspect of marketing (email, social media, SEO, paid ads, etc.) and making them work together. He puts data into a dashboard that allows his team to make decisions that help increase revenue and bring down advertising costs. His wealth of marketing experience allows him to offer up practical solutions to any marketing challenge. ”

He has a deep understanding of advanced digital marketing techniques and constantly strives to learn more and innovate. What makes him unique in his field is that he has an insatiable appetite for success, makes decisions based on data rather than just gut instincts, and is incredibly easy to work with. I couldn’t recommend an individual in this field more highly. ”

“I had the opportunity to work with Scott for almost 2 years as our outsourced CMO while I was at Artisan Hardware. In just a few shorts months he completely overhauled and got our marketing efforts on track. His expertise and knowledge not only gave us the confidence that our marketing was in good hands, his well-rounded ability offered a great executive level asset in other business matters as well. I hope that I get another opportunity to work with Scott not only because of what he brings professionally but also because he is great person. ”

“I've worked with Scott since 2005, and he's built a compact, efficient team of over-achievers. He's overseen the successful implementation of new technologies, new direction, new personnel and new atmospheres without missing a beat. Most impressive has been Scott's ability to generate and maintain among his team a laser-focus and dedication to an A+ result on every project. Scott's team of 8 or 9 people accomplish the work of 25 or more -- and the high standard of their work is incredible.”

No matter the timeline, no matter the resources, no matter the obstacles—Scott leads his team with unmatched efficiency and always exceeds expectations. That said, Scott is never satisfied with the basic completion of a task. He pushes for excellence and his work is ahead of the industry curves. I worked with Scott for nearly three years and enjoyed every interaction with him and his team.”
