Testimonials

clang! clang!

As a designer, I benefited from Derrick’s insight and clear communication in the redesign of his company’s website, clang!clang! Derrick’s brief to me was clear, concise and on-target. The end result was a website design that I’m proud of and that Derrick really likes. It was a pleasure to work on this project and I would be happy to have a chance to work with Derrick again.

Our company worked with Derrick Cho on strategic planning for a website redesign and we couldn’t have asked for stronger leadership. Derrick is not only a veritable rolodex of who’s who, he also knows how to connect all the right business dots and is right on the beat with industry changes and trends. Couple this with his bottomless knowledge base and impressive industry expertise and you’re well on your way to turning any project into an overnight success. He’s also genuinely a nice guy who works hard, but knows how to have fun along the way.

eBusiness Consultant to Umbra

Few people have the breadth and depth of knowledge and experience of the online world like Derrick. I imagine Derrick authoring a book on the subject in the near future. Derrick handles with ease the complexities and details that go on behind a web project or online marketing initiatives. Derrick is a top professional in the Online Marketing world and qualifies even as a key note speaker. He’s a “big ideas” guy. All this to say how rich his knowledge is. And if he doesn’t know it? He’s a voracious reader on the subject and a super quick study to boot. Derrick’s a first class act.

Director Marketing Communications at FloNetwork

Derrick was my client while I was at Jupiter and my employer while he was at Flonetwork. In every interaction the common denominator is that Derrick is amazingly creative in marketing a company and its message in a unique and cost efficient way. He always comes up with a way to lead the market with a message and create a buzz for a company. As an employer Derrick was direct and clear in direction as well as budget. He was a trouble shooter and worked to resolve any issues that would arise. Any company would benefit from having Derrick on their team.
