Dana is a professional who is highly skilled, creative, responsive, trustworthy, and has her client’s success in her top of mind awareness. I have seen her understanding of digital and social media marketing in action as she has helped tweak my website design, content, and drive more visibility to my business website in a short period of time. She has always gone above and beyond to ensure my company’s marketing success. I look forward to our ongoing work in other social media outlets. (Source: LinkedIn)

Rich Becker, Professional Business Coach | Advisor to Owners of Small Businesses | Performance Improvement/Turnaround Specialist
Dana has done a fantastic job of getting me set up in Google Places and offering me help in other online and social media outlets. She works tirelessly in making sure that the product she finishes with, is top-notch. In my sessions with her, I’ve never known her to look at the clock, but only be interested in the quality of the listing, etc. She has the expertise and the creativity, which are a rare combination in this line of service. I recommend her to anyone interested in getting their businesses out there, in the best possible light, into social media and the internet. I’m recommending her to my two business associates and my clients, as well. She’s that good! (Source: LinkedIn)

She coordinated multiple people from different backgrounds and capabilities and executed the events from start to finish with great aplomb. I highly recommend Dana for projects requiring significant creativity and organization. She is a pleasure to work with. (Source: LinkedIn)
