This is a collection of guides, rants and theory in relation to just about anything from advertising and marketing to psychology and science, and anything in between. Follow me, and a few extra special guest posters in this journey through the minds of those who teach from experience, rather than from regurgitation.

We originally hired Andrij (Andrew) to design our website, as what we previously had was not adequate. Andrew has gone above and beyond what we had hoped and our business from web sales has gone up more than 600%. Andrij has constantly been looking to make the site better and more user friendly and that has led to more business. We have no hesitation or reservation in recommending Andrij and his work to anyone and we would hire him again without a second thought.

Andrij is a truly dynamic fellow. He has vision, endurance, and the right attitude to not only bring a concept to fruition, but to carry it forward. He continues to move forward when others fall behind and can seek to create innovative ideas almost magically. If you get a chance to work with Andrew, grab it!

Ben Fisher Founder, Steady Demand December 20, 2014

I thought I was doing pretty good on my own, but Andrew streamlined so many aspects of how I interact online that I can now spend much more time drawing zombies and less time trying to remember all the different networks to post on.

I personally recommend Andrij (Andrew) for web design and social media marketing. They have been a huge help to me at Rhythm Babies. If you are trying to ramp up your company’s online presence, Andrij is professional, knowledgeable, creative and easy to work with.

Julie Salvano Owner, Rhythm Babies December 19, 2014

As I got to know Andrew I understood that he is a master strategist, someone who has grasped the power of social media far deeper than the surface view held by so many so-called social media experts. Andrew is tenacious in his absorption and application of the deeper meanings of social engagement. I give my unqualified recommendation for Andrew to anyone who has need of a social media marketing expert truly worthy of that title.

Mark Traphagen Senior Director of Online Marketing at Stone Temple Consulting December 20, 2014

Andrij (Andrew) is one of the first & finest social media professionals I came across when starting up our digital agency last year. His commitment and ability to help others is second to none and I would run out of superlatives to describe this brilliant individual. I have no doubt that he will slot into any team effortlessly and would highly recommend him.
