What Our Fractional CMO for Professional Services Clients Say About Us

“We highly recommend … Digital Authority Partners for your Fractional CMO and marketing needs. The professionalism and experience exhibited by Christal and the Digital Authority Partners team was excellent. Christal hit the ground running and kept running with all the marketing tasks. She acted as a great CMO – advised us and then executed when decisions were made, took the initiative to get the marketing projects completed, and laid out the entire marketing strategy for the company with minimal oversight. She really felt like part of the team, and she was. The DAP members also felt like part of the team as they contributed to the company through not just marketing services, but also introduced us to professional connections, contacts, and experience that benefited the company. … We further like that DAP’s CMOs were agnostic to service providers. She could and would recommend other service providers that she felt would provide the best solution to the company (vs pushing the company back to only use DAP). This gave us the warm and fuzzy feeling that she had the best interest in the company.”
Tyson Schroeder Vhanti
“Digital Authority has helped my company in a number of ways that will result in record profits. Being more "old school" in my thoughts, I did not understand the value of a digital partner until I met with Michael of Digital Authority. He explained the value, process, and expectations in a way that I could understand. Now I value the relationship and cannot imagine making marketing decisions without consulting with them. We lead with our digital footprint and outreach with all other mediums coming in a distant second. I give them the highest marks and hope they can help you as much as they have helped me.”
