With a very limited budget, he created a Web site for us, got us traction on social media, especially Twitter, and launched our firm's first Web-based advertising. All of this helped increase our pipeline of potential deals five-fold. I highly recommend Marc for any organization large or small. He knows how to achieve the most with the least amount of resources."
