Testimonials

He delivered a clear strategy for client acquisition and quickly built the pieces necessary to implement it. His creativity and drive for results made the difference during some very key months.

"Mike helped us with the due diligence process for the acquisition of another advertising agency. His work was high quality, insightful and on-time. As a result, we retained him to work on a second acquisition we did and once again he exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend working with Mike and Chief Outsiders."
