Erich Nielsen
If you want to make a digital footprint leveraging your presence, you may would consider using David’s services. I am. Besides being a creative writer, David has a background that make it possible for him to understand his client (whether the client is an actual person or a corporation) as well as using his empathy to pin-point what you actually want to say and helps you say it.

What a fine example of someone adapting rapidly to a new market online. People want to be represented online but haven’t the time, the inclination or the expertise. David has the skills and experience and provides excellent service to me as my Digital Biographer, all at hyper-speed and all via SMS text because I travel permanently. I like speed, accuracy, resilience and intelligence. David offers all four. In the future everyone will have a Digital Biographer, it’s a new industry and David invented it. October 01, 2007

Robert Greig
David is a first class individual who does exactly what it says on the tin. A master wordsmith who can also understand all of the hmtl codes- better than any geek. David does what he promises within the pre arranged timescale - on time and within budget! September 28, 2007

Lee Smallwood
I first came across David’s work back in January 2007. I was attracted to his originality and ability to engage the individual by word power alone. He advised me on many aspects of my own personal bio’s – which I still utilise now as they are engrained in my brain. People have good comments about my profiles; to which I have only David to thank for that. I can’t recommend his creative and technical capabilities enough. August 29, 2007

Neil Urquhart
After a long discussion with David and some excellent advice, we updated my profile on Ecademy (online business network) and I now regularly receive feedback that it is one of the most interesting on the site. His talents as a wordsmith and digital biographer are second to none. August 20, 2007

Andrew Horder
David worked with me to enhance my profile on Ecademy (online business/social network). David’s input on the content was extremely helpful in getting the right message across, and the creative and HTML content made a significant difference to the effectiveness of the outcome. August 18, 2007

Every now and again you’re knocked sideways at a company’s service. David and Certain Host pulled out all the stops to help me with some hosting problems. Not only did he go the extra mile, but got us to the solution we needed with a smile and with a level of service that’s all too rare these days. May 28, 2007

Sometimes it’s difficult to think of exactly the right words to use (for example when writing endorsements!) and that’s when it’s worth getting David’s help. January 12, 2006

Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten
David the THE person to consult on any language specific issue. When I started my last business I needed help with all texts on our website. David was fast, thorough and always helpful. He didn’t just give me the answer to my question but always taught me a little more than I needed to know. December 12, 2005

Gavin Don
As one fo David’s co-founders I want to endorse his focus, energy and creativity in creating Newsbase. I have worked with David for over a decade, and still do so as Chairman of Newsbase. Starting a new company is fraught with the possibility for conflict, angst and problems, but David brought none of the 2000 se - being a pleasure to work with. February 03, 2006

David Cant
David was one of several providers of services whom we could turn to, but because he consistently came up with the goods for us and our client companies, he quickly became our first port of call. No nonsense, no delays, no excuses, no exceptions. If only business was always this efficient. February 02, 2006

Roza Nazipova
It’s been 14 years since David shared an idea with me - a dream he wanted to pursue. I was there at the start, fought through the battles alongside him, lived through the successes and failures, and I am still there. He still inspires, he’s still funny, he’s still full of astounding ideas, and he’s still generous. January 27, 2006

Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten
David was very helpfull and pro-active in helping me with my start-up. He was always coming up with small tips and imporvements which were always helpfull and usefull.

David wrote a profile for me on Ecademy and came up with a very inventive approach. He quickly grasped the concept of our business and message and has translated that into a great presentation.

Testimonials

“If you are serious about how you come across online, engage with David today.”
- Tom Evans, Shere Solutions

“My travel and meeting schedule with members is now so intense that I have little time to maintain my profile and get all my blogs written.

David is a huge support for me in getting all these things done, he is like a virtual Thomas Power and without him I just couldn’t maintain my pace meeting 1,000 people a year and visiting a country every month.

David has added huge amounts of time to my life and if you need time in yours hire David, he’s absolutely brilliant. Thoroughly recommended.”
- Thomas Power, Ecademy

“David is one of those characters you need to listen to, and engage if power of communication is key to you or your business.

Firstly, he’s intelligent and as a trained journalist can use that skill in many ways to help, assist and persuade through communication - a clear strategic advantage in this modern age.

Secondly, he’s well versed in the needs of individuals and companies in delivering opportunity through the right communications via the internet and other media, being the owner of a web company as well as having the technical IT skills to achieve the required result.

Thirdly, he’s well travelled and versed in the ways of the world - a knowledge which is key to consistent delivery today.

You may not agree with what he “says” when he uses his portfolio on behalf of others who deploy his strategic skills - but you will note his clear intelligent signature of style throughout, and you’ll enjoy his openness and depth of thought when he speaks as himself”
- Ian McAllister, Ajiri Ltd
