Chris Brogan, cofounder PodCamp, PodCamp.org (business partner)
“Chris has years of experience in understanding how traditional marketing meets the web. He is a media maker, a community guy, and an all around renaissance man in the arts of delivering information, developing need, and driving professional value into projects. He is personable, creative, capable, and has a strong sense of professionalism that doesn't overshadow his winning personality. Consider Chris for your next creative project and you won't be disappointed.” June 15, 2008
Jo Jordan, Psychologist & Director, Rooi Limited)
“Chris is the David Plouffe of social media in the south-east of England. His first successful venture in on-line education in 2000 has grown into a thriving consultancy practice in High Wycombe just outside London where he supports colleges offering on-line education and businesses breaking into social media. Chris understands the nuts & bolts of websites, search engines and social media platforms. He connects noobes, old-hands, geeks, marketers, educators, PR, HR, musicians & artists with consummate ease, generosity, and flair. Chris has introduced me to people with like interests, helped me engage the press, and provided a platform through Social Media Mafia for me to shape a solid local profile. Chris is always available to offer a critical eye over practical plans and projects. He is currently working on the roll-out of on-line education for SAE and the integration of social media into the working routines of successful organizations. ” February 14, 2009

“Chris combines tech knowledge, creativity, business sense, a passion for all things digital with the ability to enthuse others and pass on that knowledge.

“Chris Hambly? "Creative essence, business drive with a passion to inject every project and venture with an infectious enthusiasm." A phrase that can be used to describe Chris. Since lending my services as an event ambassador for the Summer of Love Festival, SOL staged at his ACHUB presence on Second Life in August 2007. Since collaborating and participating in the 'unconference' MediaCampBuck07 event in the south of England I am constantly astonished by Chris's productivity, extensive network and people skills. A prolific podcaster producing AC radio, Running Man radio and CarCasts, Blogging and more. An air of ease and his willingness to share his knowledge, not to mention a great soothing vocal tone plus a musician and audio recording specialist. I can't imagine a project that won't succeed with Chris on board.” January 17, 2008

Mal Burns (client)
“Chris, together with his inworld avatar (audio Zenith) in Second Life, has provided constant high-quality help and advice especially in the area of audio technology, environment design, event-planning and distance communications. His online radio show is also a joy to listen to. Chris is also a prolific "Twitterer" and it never ceases to amaze me how he gets so much done. He seems particularly adept at using multiple media at the same time, yet always seems to have time for an ad-hoc consultation too. He is also a prime example of someone using the future "metaverse" interface to its best advantage at present.” August 19, 2007
