Johnny has tremendous expertise in social and mobile media. Anytime I need up-to-the-minute explanation of a new social trend or technology, I can always count on him to bring me up to speed. This expertise is complimented by his skills as a researcher, reporter, and community manager. Johnny is a great addition to any social media team.

During the few months I was able to work with Johnny, he was an invaluable member of a very large team working on an important project for one of the agency's biggest clients. I was able to count on Johnny to keep his ear to the ground and properly manage multiple social network channels for the project, develop content and always keep a strategic mindset about what is on the horizon for the client and in the space. He has a strong understanding of the technology, usage habits and best-practices for reaching people in today's digital world.
