Ghostwriting and Branding Testimonials*

“Tony has been a game-changer and a real joy to work with. We went from blogging on my personal website to getting a paid writing gig. In the beginning, Tony and I would have weekly phone calls, and I would give him my thoughts on things. After a few months, those calls became unnecessary. Tony mastered my voice very quickly and had a great pulse on my perspective and opinions. There were many times when he would submit blogs for approval, and I didn’t have a single change to make. Ultimately, Tony helped build my audience on social media and got my content in front of a lot of eye balls. I have no doubt that his content and ideas opened the door to a lot of opportunities and led to more guest-speaking engagements and appearances. Tony is honest, a great brand strategist, and has your best interest at heart. If you’re looking to take your business to the next level, hire him. He’s worth the investment.”

— Dale Murphy, two-time NL MVP

"Tony has been my trusted ghostwriter for years. Although it took us six years to meet in person, you wouldn’t know that from the content he has produced. He quickly picked up my voice and has provided a wealth of written and spoken content on my behalf, including editorials, blogs, and keynote addresses. He has done this all remotely, always with my professional brand and personal ethos in mind. Tony is everything you want in a ghostwriter: talented, reliable, and no ego. I strongly recommend him to anyone in need of excellent written and verbal communication or increased visibility in their field. He is a pleasure to work with, and he will absolutely make your life easier.”

Renée A. Middleton, university dean

“Tony is a real pro. He helped me get my business off the ground and made my website and social media presence come alive. He took time to truly understand me and my goals and provided strategic counsel every step of the way, from marketing strategy to client acquisition. Tony was the guide I needed. Everything he told me to do worked.”

— Mike Legarza, The Attitude Coach
