Then I met Darren and he was able to grasp what our brand is and how we should go about expanding our presence. I liked and trusted Darren immediately, all the points he made about what Hey Gorgeous needed mirrored my own views.
In the 4 months that we have been working together, Darren has expanded every marketing platform we were on and has helped us breakthrough to marketing areas where we had not had any presence. This is exactly where I wanted to go, but would never have gotten there without Darren’s help.
