Testimonials
“Last year, I launched my first book, The Oil and the Glory, on the internet through Patron Saint. I did not know the first thing about blogging and creating a presence on the internet. In a month of coaching, George Williams patiently and expertly took me through the paces, the result of which has been that my blog is being absorbed by Business Week as one of their primary blogs. While there are millions of blogs, it’s still an embryonic industry — success is an art rather than a science at this point — and George Williams is one of the best artists.” -Steve LeVine, Business Week
“George is the editor of a blog about the radio industry that we sponsor. In the time we’ve worked with him, he has demonstrated a remarkable grasp, not only of the subject matter, but also of the tone we’re trying to set with our efforts. He has a marvelous eye for news and his reporting on events is insightful and fresh. George never misses an opportunity to engage a partner or win over a new friend. He collaborates openly with our partners working with other online and offline communications. Everyone in my organization and my client’s appreciates the work George is doing. He has helped to move the conversation forward in an important industry.” -Kelly O’Keefe, VCU Brand Center
“Working with George was a pleasure — he knew the Web inside and out and he was always available to answer questions. I wish I had his energy, which is always unflagging and cheerful.” -Kevin Allman, Gambit Weekly
“George is an incredibly energetic, passionate, creative guy. I have a great deal of respect for the voice that he brings to his work because of its honesty and sincerity. I have seen plenty of storytellers in my time, but George is able to weave a tapestry of profound discussion, all seen through the kaleidoscope of hope.” - Doug Xanger, Zhang Creative
“George is the all around man. George kept the Advertising Week 2008 radio station buzz alive with high profile interviews and writing up to the minute creative content.” -Emily Gibson, Small Plate Radio
“George has made the Radio2020 blog (and by extension the blogging voice of the radio giants [NAB, RAB, HDA]) into something that I feel captures the essence of radio. Namely, something – like George, and like radio – that has real personality.” -Tun3r.com 2008
