I’ve known Ian since the late 90s. Ian has proven himself to be a driven, results oriented individual with plenty of passion and determination. Recently, Ian has been assisting my team with website analysis and content review and verification; requiring painstaking attention to detail. He is effective at planning his approach and delivering on his commitments. We will continue to draw upon Ian’s skills and talents as opportunities arise.

Everyone can call themselves a Marketing consultant and most times, there is a lot of consulting and no follow through. Ian is different; he grasped the challenges of our organization quickly and came up with tangible, applicable ideas that are immediately implementable. If you are responsible for cranking your marketing impact up a notch, please call Ian. He will be your partner in brainstorming and opening your mind towards new and innovative marketing ideas.

Ian was brought onboard to write two white papers for our business, aimed at our small business clients. Both papers were very well researched and were written in a clear and concise manner, making them easily readable by our target audience. Ian himself was a pleasure to work with. He was very organized, reliable, responsive to our ideas and suggestions, and ultimately turned out two very professionally written and well articulated papers that were on time and on budget. He required little direction and support from us in drafting these fairly complex white papers completely on his own. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Ian again for our future communications needs.

Prior to hiring Ian to manage our website redesign initiative, he demonstrated a desire to ensure that the direction and approach for the project was correct by completing a high level marketing assessment of the business for no additional charge. Ian provided a strong sounding board for questions, and always responded with a logical and sound perspective to assist in decision making, further testament to his ability to think in a strategic manner and apply/implement the strategy effectively. Throughout our project, Ian continued to show his ability to be proactive, identify issues for us to resolve/answer, provide quality writing and editorial skills that we needed, and hit deadlines which demonstrated his strong organizational and project management skills. Ian’s solid marketing communications skills were reflected in every aspect of our project development.
