What our clients are saying

I was clueless about Social Media when I met Danny. In just two hours, I walked out with pages of notes and more importantly tons of action points that I started to use straight away the next day. He is knowledgeable, friendly and a real expert. I found his style easy to learn from and it was nothing short of illuminating.
Paul Tizzard, Director at Virgin Atlantic 'Flying Without Fear'

Danny's knowledge of social media is impressive, as his regular tweets go to prove. But Danny is also efficient and kind - and he speaks plain English when helping you solve technical problems. Thanks for your help Danny!  
Claire Adler, Journalist

Being completely blind to social media in the workplace, Danny's approach was very clear and informative which made it so easy to understand. Danny also gave great advice on maximising the potential of our website, all of which we are putting in to place and look forward to dealing with Danny in the future. 
Kerry McBride, Safety Assured Ltd

Danny cuts through the mystique and explains in plain language how businesses can make the best return on their online marketing activity whether this be through their website or through Linkedin and other Social networking sites. I would recommend him to anyone seeking an honest provider of sound advice.
Steve Forey, Branduin Business Support

I have found Danny to be an excellent source of information, advice and guidance since I first became met him. I am sure that in the not too distant future I will be tapping into his knowledge and enjoying his refreshing company once more. I warmly recommend him.
James Ker-Reid, Everything Everywhere

As a communicator and PR professional, it's important to me to find somebody who can take my message and bring it to others using the latest in technology. I have a voice - but Danny projects it.
Joanna Sigalov, Parkgate Aspen

Danny @ Brainstorm Design Ltd has been forthcoming, knowledgable and informative. Within a short time I was getting to grips with social networking for my business, using google, LinkedIn, twitter & facebook, sending daily updates to my clients and familiarising myself with the tools available. Professional and friendly service, highly recommended!!
