What People Are Saying

My Role: Digital Media Consultant / Digital Content Producer

Don Napoleon – Award Winning Video Producer/Journalist/Field Producer, NCP, LLC &Gearshift TV Productions, LLC

“I have worked with all types of producers in all my productions, but when it comes to on schedule, on time, efficient, smart, good-hearted those words spell Danielle, she is responsible and knows how to get the job done. Producers know how to make it happen, Danielle knows how to make it happen…”

My Role: Social Media Specialist

Stephanie Harris – Founder of Best Life Events Inc. and Destination Events at Capital Jazz Productions
After an expansion of my business brand, I quickly became aware of my social media deficits. I knew to start fresh with the correct process would be more effective than correcting mistakes. Tweets, as we know are hard to rescind. As a consistent follower of Danielle’s, it seemed obvious to hire her to assist with the development of my social media platforms. What was not, is the depth and breath of her comprehensive communications knowledge, INCLUDING social media. Danielle has long standing, extensive, senior level experiences in multiple industries, providing her with a unique perspective on accessing exactly HOW to create success, across multiple platforms and the coordination into a comprehensive marketing program. Her spirited attitude and comprehensive skill set is keeping me focused on key priorities and I believe my course corrections, relative to factors under my control, will be minimal, thanks to Danielle.
