We have been delighted with the service we received from Darren whereby he helped us improve how we market and present our Podcast. He is detailed and highly conscientious and was keen to meet all our expectations. His responsiveness to urgent matters was outstanding and went further in promoting us to make beneficial changes. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending his services.

Darren gives excellent advice on starting a new podcast. I was impressed by how he takes his knowledge and uses it to give great advice and feedback. Not only does he know his stuff, he's compassionate and engaging and really puts himself into your shoes to understand your unique situation. I highly recommend him to anyone.
