Dana is a professional who is highly skilled, creative, responsive, trustworthy, and has her client’s success in her top of mind awareness.

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)
