From clients.

People who hired Blake for consulting, design and video.

"Blake built trust in his knowledge right away on our first phone call and we scheduled a Facebook Ads Manager consulting session 2 days later. We spent hours on a video conference (so we could screenshare) as he taught me his tactics and how to build a great Facebook Ads campaign from the ground up for a couple of different industries. I will definitely hire Blake in the future for more consulting work. He really knows his stuff! I highly recommend him and suggest that you call him right away if you are doing social media advertising. -- Thanks Again Blake!!"

"Blake designed a beautiful logo for my business. He was great to work with and did an amazing job! He really made the design look professional while still using his creativity to make it even better than we could have expected. He was easy to communicate with and timely with his work. I plan on using him again for future projects and definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a quality design."

"Blake is a very talented filmmaker who handled an extremely delicate project for my husband and I, our wedding. He was extremely professional and very friendly so we always felt at ease with him on such a crazy day. The finished product went beyond anything we could have expected. He listened to everything we said and the film was exactly what I had in my head. His shots were so elegant and creative. The way he edited the film kept it flowing and interesting, and his choice of music really added to the mood. I would recommend Blake to anyone with an important project who needs a filmmaker with a creative eye, and an intuitive mind. I can't imagine us having hired anyone else."

I highly recommend working with him, my revenues have drastically increased with his consultation and expertise."

"In nearly two years that we worked together, Blake demonstrated exceptional skills, leadership, and a remarkable ability to drive our digital marketing efforts to new heights. We were generating leads like nothing I have seen in my decade-long work. One of the qualities that I admire most about Blake was his exceptional project management skills. He had an incredible ability to juggle multiple tasks, and ensure that every project was executed with precision. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him."

"I worked with Blake back when I worked at Billabong Deerfield & for a stint at BC Surf in Ft Lauderdale in the Marketing office. Blake helped launch the Deerfield location with store photography & videography to help launch our social media, and also set us up on Google Business with great success, from which I was successfully able to build a following afterward. Working with Blake at BC, I found him to be super knowledgeable in all areas of his craft. Great marketing strategies, strong visual style, and videography to name a few. I ended up learning a lot from working beside him, and would recommend him for anywhere an expert is needed on visual media (social, videography, design), or for marketing strategy. He is always working on building his skills and mastering his craft. I look forward to the next time I get to collaborate with him as well!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Blake for two consecutive years while producing television commercials for Walmart. He is the quintessential professional, who knows his role and executes it very well. Blake served as the Digital Imaging Technician for the camera and editorial departments. He also served as a secondary cameraman in times when additional camera angles were needed. The pace of filming was often very brisk, and his ability to succeed as a multi-dimensional team player was also monumental for the success of each commercial campaign. At the end of each shoot, Blake would then assist the editorial team in final compilation of the commercials. It's no surprise that he excelled in this role as well. With as good of a technical professional that I witnessed in Blake, what impressed me the most was his personality and demeanor. Blake is a quiet, confident professional, who understands the importance of performing his role to the best of his ability, but also contributing as a team member towards the big picture. He is extremely polite and respectful to all, and quick to assist others when in need. Blake is incredibly pleasant to work with and elevates the work environment with his positive and focused mindset. When you combine his digital marketing knowledge with the ability to create branded content, you now have a formidable powerhouse of talent that other companies can capitalize on by hiring him to elevate their brands. I highly recommend Blake!"

"After working with Blake for years I realized how studious he was to his craft. Any opportunity he had, he took the time to better himself with what he loved. The amount of sketches I saw that turned into beautiful graphic designs are enumerate. I have never been talented in the realm of production, editing or graphic designing, but with Blake he was able to show me the basic steps in order to get the job done. At any given moment Blake was willing, and able, to help me out with design questions. Being that I was managing our receiving department, there were countless times I needed his help with capturing images, or editing photos, or updating our website for new products and every time he knocked it out of the park. If you need the job done, and have done beyond expectations, Blake is your guy."

Working with Blake personally on multiple projects, I not only look forward to working with him because of his positive attitude but because he is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of production and is easy to work with."
