Here’s what clients and colleagues have to say about working with Jim.
Jay Gaines hired Jim as a Business Consultant in 2007
“I worked very closely with Jim on the development, launch and management of my company’s social media strategy and community web site. The effort has by all accounts been wildly successful and I attribute much of that success to his astute guidance. Jim’s depth of knowledge, ability to effectively communicate and apply that knowledge, and talent for turning social media strategy into genuine business value sets him far apart from others in his field. Even after the formal project ended, Jim has continued to be an extremely valuable resource as I and others at my company regularly reach out to him for insight, opinions and guidance which he always generously offers.”

Aaron Strout worked directly with Jim at Shared Insights & Mzinga.
“I could spend thousands of words explaining exactly why Jim is not only a great friend, but also an expert at tapping into the power of online community and social media for business, but I’m going to keep this short and sweet instead. Here are the five reasons I would highly recommend Jim to any organization:
1. He understands how to create business value using social tools and online communities
2. Jim is personable, easy to work with and a great listener
3. Unlike many folks that are jumping into the social media/community arena, Jim has managed communities and been involved in social media for several years
4. Jim and I were principles at our predecessor company, Shared Insights, so he deeply understands how to run an organization
5. Most of all, Jim is an innovator. He’s always looking for ways to improve the bottom line using new techniques and technologies.Feel free to contact me anytime if you’d like me to wax more poetically about Jim as a valuable addition to our company.”
Rachel Happe worked with Jim at Mzinga
“Jim understands social media like few others – and he practices what he knows. At Mzinga Jim built a enormous network of goodwill for Mzinga by engaging, creating valuable content, and building relationships with all the influencers in the social media space. If you want to understand social media and how it works, Jim is a phenomenal resource.”
Brian Harris worked directly with Jim at Mzinga
“I have met few folks with a breadth of knowledge as vast as Jim’s regarding the tools, companies, and conventions surrounding social media. His perspective and experience in the field make manageable tasks out of designing and developing communities around disparate audiences. Atop his insight and savvy surrounding social tools, he is extremely fun to work with and a phenomenal presenter and contributor. I very much look forward to my next chance to work with Jim, and recommend him highly.”
