What people say about Joel

A smiling young man

“It seemed like every 2 minutes you were dropping an “aha” moment into my hands when we last spoke. 🙌🏾”

Zach Roberts, Founder
Tasha Cornish, Cybersecurity Association of Maryland, Inc. (CAMI) Executive Director

“Many people claim to describe the complicated and technical simply. Joel is one of the rare professionals who can deliver on this promise. He synthesized ideas from many enthusiastic, over-caffeinated cyber marketing professionals, and birthed the More to MD Cyber Than You Think campaign to highlight the strength and diversity of the cybersecurity ecosystem in Maryland.

Like a ninja, Joel quickly identified the CAMI voice and brand personality and produced shorts that integrated perfectly with our identity: collaborative, forward-thinking, and a bit playful (who says cybersecurity can’t be fun?!).”

EVERYONE should take advantage of this. Your stuff is killer, dude.”

“Because of Joel’s experience on both sides of the equation, he really is an advocate for the vendor and the buyer. And that is why I think his approach is so powerful.“

Carlos Guerrero, Senior Compliance Executive
Tasha Cornish, Cybersecurity Association of Maryland, Inc. (CAMI) Executive Director

“In our experience, cybersecurity companies can really struggle to communicate their mission and value proposition to various stakeholders, including investors and customers. It’s a huge pain point for our members.

When it came to creating an event around this topic, Joel was my first call. Again, he executed a very on-brand, high-quality product for our organization, from event ideation to follow-up call-to-actions.”

Tasha Cornish, Executive Director

Joel was great from the start— as an engineer, I wanted straight facts with no fluff and he worked with me. He had a unique gift to be able to draw out big broad strokes and ideas from minds that are very techie and detailed. Such a necessary task to gain focus for a small team or organization and well worth an investment for the future. Joel was great and easy to work with as well. Highly recommend!!”
