I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

David Landis was immediately responsive and, in fact, continued to assist me for roughly 20 years (until I decided to change careers) when my clients had unusual needs. He always provided his comprehensive and sound advice good-naturedly and with warmth. We have become good friends, but this review is based not on that but on our professional relationship. I wouldn't hesitate to categorically recommend him (and his company) because I know that he continues to be a brilliant, kind and intelligent individual who works extremely hard for all his PR clients, locally and nationally.

Now the pressure is on to actually write something of quality and attempt to keep it free of typos. Got news for you, ain't gonna happen. What I like (and you will too) about Glodow Nead Communications is that they mirror their business model much like we do. They work and seek clients who are committed to doing to the right thing and provide guidance. Doing the right thing is their mission statement. Learning more about the customer and not worrying about the bottom line. If they feel that they may not be the right choice for you, they will not hesitate to tell you and will point you in the direction of someone who is a better fit. They hire superstars. The people who work here take pride in what they do and are truly happy to be part of the team. Ideas and problem solving are second nature here. The culture and environment here is the envy of the industry. If a need arises, make a phone call.

She was extremely patient & understanding with me. Obviously very knowledgeable & savvy about social media marketing, she was, at the same time, compassionate & gentle with people like myself who have little expertise in this particular area. As she talked, I could clearly feel her great passion for social media as well as her love of teaching & sharing information with other people. Jennifer definitely went the extra mile with me, in the generous way she gave of her time & expertise & I appreciated her suggestions for me to connect with various social media support groups in the Bay Area, so that I could increase my knowledge about this important field. I would definitely recommend Jennifer's social media & marketing services to anyone looking for a top-notch professional who is also a great person, with a passion for her field & a willingness to go the extra mile for her clients!
