Programmatic marketing start-up, engaged at 60+ employees.
“When we approached Darr, we had been heads down on our product for the prior 3 years. We hadn’t invested any time in marketing, and were not sure where to begin. Darr proposed a detailed plan to refresh our messaging and craft new collateral. It was a very successful engagement and we hope to work with Darr again in the future. He was extremely effective at distilling our wide-ranging thoughts into clear messaging, validating that messaging with our customers and pushing through a large website refresh. I highly recommend Darr to organizations seeking help with their B2B marketing.”
