Whispers from our Clients

Our network is our net worth

Courtney is blessed with a beautifully strategic brain. She has an uncanny way of breaking down complicated issues and proposing effective solutions. I value her depth of understanding in digital, e-commerce, and branding. Courtney is a wealth of marketing knowledge and insight, and best of all, her charismatic personality is infectious.

Dina Marto is a consummate professional and a pillar of Atlanta’s music scene. I have made it a point to include Dina on most major decisions personally and professionally, that has proven to be a winning formula for me over the years. Dina’s ability to identify the diamonds in the rough make her invaluable not only to me, but to the entire music ecosystem.
