More than double online sales with a complete, integrated ticketing solution and a focus on conversions.

Testimonial

Marc has been a huge asset for our arts organization. We had hoped when he joined the Board that he might clue us in on a few ways to use social media more effectively. He went way beyond this: in his unassuming way, he transformed our online presence.

Later asked if he might help with website redesign, he made the project his own. He had a clear idea (mobile device–compatible, directing users to buy tickets or donate, etc.) and communicated it effectively, along with a detailed schedule for deployment (met). Throughout the process, he was able to selectively incorporate the feedback he received, while making even the prickly personalities feel heard. Marc is a very capable individual technically, but it’s his ability to lead that is truly impressive.
