We asked Dan/Curious Toddler to assist us with some urgent design work in relation to our rebrand. He was approachable, attentive and obviously an expert in his field. He is able to provide a clear point of view on best practice/process in relation to the specifics of digital design and marketing, whilst showing enough flexibility to balance these with immediate business pressures and priorities. In this way he right-sizes design-effort to match the needs of the client. His patience with extra requests, tweaks and "could we just"s was endless and his dedication to our objectives was obvious through his work ethic and actions. I couldn't recommend him more highly and we look forward to engaging Dan on more work in the future.

Daniel joined us for a period to help us strategically position ourselves and to provide a blue print for marketing and business development. Not afraid to do the doing and roll his sleeves up. Dan is a modern and forward thinking consultant. He also helped strategically and tactically and we are now implementing piece by piece. A great strategic brain that would add immense value to most agencies. I’ll certainly be calling on him again in the future. Not enough planners of Dans Calibre about these days.
