Mark WójcickiStudio Stanley When I started working with Tony, I already had many hundreds of LinkedIn connections, but very few of these people had the profile of my ideal client. Over the next three months, we grew my network of such people by more than 400. In addition, Tony’s coaching helped me to improve the impact of my Profile and measurably improve my LinkedIn networking. The overall result is many new promising business relationships which I am confident will lead to an ongoing pipeline of future business – as long as I keep networking as Tony suggested.
Mark SimmonsSMS Analytical Ltd Our company was looking for someone with good knowledge of LinkedIn for marketing and were fortunate enough to be introduced to Tony. Initially, he set-up a video meeting and freely gave us a lot of his time during which we discussed our online presence and how he might help. Tony then followed this up with document detailing an action plan of how we could improve our LI visibility and find potential new clients. All this was without any obligation or pressure in any way and from the start we felt very comfortable talking to Tony. We hope to continue using his expertise to guide us further.

Rob MurdochBig Watch Company We have used Tony for a number of years now, for all Big Watch Company's SEO, internet advertising and Twitter.In regard to SEO, Big Watch Company is constantly recognised when searching for watches given that the business is small and boutique, on a limited budget and cannot afford to compete with the big boys like Amazon.With regard to Twitter, Big Watch Company now has a following of over 19K. Whilst I contribute to tweeting for the business, credit must go to Tony for driving the process and creating the links with other interested parties and we would not be there without Tony.I would have no hesitation in recommending Tony to drive ones business, as the process of on-line media and rankings is way beyond my understanding.
