Testimonials
“We hired Darren and his team to completely redesign our company’s website and raise our company profile on the Web. He did everything asked and much more; it looks great and we are seeing results already! He was professional, detail oriented, realistic and optimistic about what he could do for our firm. At each phase of the project his work greatly exceeded our expectations…a real rarity these days. Thanks to Darren’s positive energy, expertise and guidance, our firm’s pages rose in search rankings and traffic to our site has grown dramatically. He is easy to work with and is a great listener…often anticipating our needs. Besides the technical skills to run the “back end” seamlessly, Darren has a real eye for design. I recommend his work to friends and colleagues all the time and look forward to working with him on future projects.“

“The Next Level Marketing Communication’s insight into marketing and SEO optimization has been revolutionary! Being able to turn this segment of our business over to Darren McDougal has been instrumental in Specialty Executives success. Specialty Executives was looking for solutions to better market our dominance in the Defense and Aerospace search. Let’s face it…if you’re not dominating the web based marketing scene, you are light years behind your competitors in executive search.
I could see what I wanted but was very limited in my experience with website design to convey this message to Darren. His team was very patient and worked diligently through many test runs to deliver exactly what Specialty Executives was looking for. The new design encompassed Specialty Executives passion and resolve to “Save Soldier’s Lives”. Specialty Executives looks to Darren’s team monthly to keep us at the forefront of SEO. Great to have another trusted partner at Next Level Marketing Communications!“
Travis Thomas, President

He is an expert in leveraging social media, creating unbelievable marketing collateral and advising us on how to most effectively and efficiently utilize these tools. He has an incredible eye for detail and his finished product definitely helps separate us from our competition. He has created some of the most sophisticated systems, intranet, web design, marketing collateral, and branding to both internal and external clients. I believe anyone who is seeking to create or accentuate your brand that Darren’s expertise warranted.“

“Darren is absolutely OUTSTANDING at what he does! He helped us develop a fully integrated brand for our search firm, including website, print (cards, letterhead, envelopes), and helped us develop our messaging to the market. He made the process easy and enjoyable, and always exceeded our expectations in every way. We have gotten overwhelmingly positive feedback on our branding from clients, candidates, and partners within the recruiting industry. The functionality is top notch, and is scalable as we continue to grow and evolve in the future. I give Darren my strongest possible recommendation, and will continue to work with him for all of my firm’s marketing needs.“
