Well, as a fast learner, I realized that wasn’t the case. As an author, I was extremely fortunate to cross paths with Joel. He understands the convoluted Social Media industry, and calmly and seemingly effortlessly handled everything from the months building up to my book launch to during and after the actual release. He works hand in hand with his clients behind the scenes to make sure it’s your views that are being expressed. He is very detail oriented and imaginative. I feel very fortunate to have him on my team and would highly recommend him as a talented asset to anyone in need of a Social Media platform." -Adele Paula Royce, author of The Little Black Book of Suicide Notes
