Kind Words about My Work
“I had the pleasure of working with Dave Raymond while I was at the Kessler Collection as President and COO. Dave was a breath of fresh air bringing creativity, innovation
and technical expertise to our company. We had battled with a third party vendor who handled our web site, SEO, pay for click campaigns, etc. Dave came in and was able
to save money by bringing functions in house that he could handle as well as having the vision to think strategically beyond what our vendor could hope to provide. Dave
knows how to optimize marketing tools by leveraging technology and utilizing his vast network of business partners. Partnering with Dave Raymond is like bringing on an
entire team of consultants in for the price of one. If Dave doesn't know the answer to something, he will within the hour. What I liked best about working with Dave was our
many conversations about the business and how we could make it better. He has an insatiable appetite to be on the cutting edge and to make a difference. I hope I have
the opportunity to work with Dave again in the near future - I miss his intellectual push!” November 22, 2011
Scott Schreiber, President & Chief Operating Officer, The Kessler Collection
worked directly with David at Kessler Collection/Marriott Autograph Properties
“I've worked with Dave on projects that have ranged from start ups to Fortune 500s. His extensive experience in on-line marketing techniques such as SEO, SEM, and
Social Media has helped clients rapidly experience a positive ROI through his on-line efforts. Dave continually updates his knowledge of the industry and always brings a
fresh and creative perspective to any on-line project.” April 23, 2011
Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert
Steven Davenport,
hired David as a SEO/SEM in 2000, and hired David more than once
“Health Data Services, Inc. hired David in early 2010 to take over our SEO campaign from one of the Top 10 SEO firms in the country. David immediately identified areas
where our efforts could be improved and went to work. We saw a sustained steady increase in our web traffic working with David. He managed to get us first page search
engine visibility with many of our search terms. This, despite our competitors having much more web longevity and much deeper pockets than we did. We have no
reservations about recommending David as a top SEO consultant.” May 9, 2011
Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert
John Dove,
hired David as a IT Consultant in 2010
“David is superb at bringing big ideas into both modern and traditional media. Over the 20 years I've known and worked with David, he has always pushed most of us into
embracing the New, New, and exploiting the benefits of driving new trends in media. I periodically work with Dave and would consider him to be among the best in our field
of the high-tech universe, and would add that he has an extremely strong track record in finding, hiring, and developing talent. Finally, he's one of the few big-pictures guys
I've worked with.” March 27, 2011

Results Count - Jack Nicklaus
From The Nicklaus Companies
The interview with Jack turned out better than I remember, and I loved the use or application of the animated
flyovers. In fact, I brought in a large contingent from our Nicklaus Design team to view it with me again to show
them the application. Bobby Root, who designed the software to do these flyovers, was weeping like a small
boy. We are actually going to burn some additional DVDs to keep on hand to show future clients how the
flyovers can be used.
Nice job and congratulations!
