Chief Digital Officer (CDO)
2009
The psychology of what engages potential clients and existing customers is changing as fast as the technology that drives it. Consumers and businesses now have an 'almost-infinite' information source on the products and services they need and choice to buy from. The Internet has already transformed the rules of engagement. More and more, social media forges the way businesses innovate and sell their products/services. With a combined experience of over 35 years in owning and operating companies, we utilize the knowledge we have gained through many successes and a few failures along the way. We develop online strategies to draw attention to your company, increase your sales, maximize your profits and reduce your costs. We form partnerships with our clients, which is why more than 80% of our business comes from referrals. We recognize that you have choice, more than ever before, and appreciate the time you have taken to read more about us. Should we have the opportunity, we look forward to working with you to help your business expand and prosper.
