Darrell Keezer, Founder, Candybox Marketing

“Jonathan has the unique ability to marry Social Media Marketing with SMART objectives for any company. Working alongside Jonathan for many years, I value any time I can get to pick his brain on upcoming trends, understanding the value of relationship-based marketing or attending one of his workshops. I would highly recommend hiring Jonathan if you want a marketing campaign to get off the ground quickly!”

Vanessa Wideski, Program Coordinator & Facilitator

“Jonathan is an inspiring facilitator and leader in the world of social media. I just completed his social media live workshop and I am overwhelmed with appreciation for the knowledge I am walking away with.”

Crystal Michel, #BirthBestie, Honest Birth Talk

“Jonathan has changed our business from a page with no interaction to one that reaches hundreds and thousands daily. He is the real deal, he always goes the extra mile to help his clients. It pays to get it right from the start and hire an expert, social media is vital to any business these days and without guidance with the ever changing algorithms and platforms you will be left in the dust. I can’t recommend Jonathan enough!”

Roger Killen, Producer, TEDxStanleyPark and Organiser, VBN

“Jonathan spoke authentically, eloquently and enthusiastically to my members. He totally engaged the audience with his stories and examples and the depth and breadth of his knowledge around all things related to using social media as a business building tool. He opened many eyes to the potential that can be realized by harnessing the power of a successful social media campaign to make good things happen. My members simply loved him..”
