My companies enhanced level of membership gives me the benefit of Monthly one-to-one marketing support meetings with David. They say if you want to be successful surround yourself with positive people. This is certainly true with David and I view him as my "Marketing Director" and one of the team. Yesterday's meeting was as usual focused, productive and fun. Thank you David.

#EBTweetup is fabulous informal networking event. David makes everyone very welcome. It has been going for almost 5 years and I remember going to the first one! I must rather like this event quite a bit! Well done David with this event, looking forward to celebrating 5 years

What can I say? I don’t know if its even 28 days since my last review but that time never elapses without David doing plenty to help Embrace East Sussex.

Over the last few days David has uploaded a whole bundle of events for us all in one go. He has been patient as always and a perfectionist about how they looked and if the copy was right.

I can highly recommend local charities becoming members of Bestof David is a wonderful support to Embrace.

You are welcome Becky, helping is such a rewarding thing and though I can not financially support charities in Eastbourne I can give them a little time which I know can hold much more value :)

David at The Best of Eastbourne has been infectious with his passion, love and dedication to the business. Nothing is too much trouble and he is always at the end of twitter if you have any problems! It has given us a chance to network on a local level, support other local independent businesses and really drive our online presence through top tips/help and advice. Couldn't recommend him or the best of Eastbourne any higher! Thanks David!

I have to leave David a review for his continued support of my business. Ditzy Media is almost two years old now, and throughout my time in business I have been a member of thebestof Eastbourne. Thebestof Eastbourne has definitely raised my profile locally, helped me meet like minded local business people, as well as other community organisations through #EBTweetUp. David himself is a great support to his membership. I highly recommend thebestof Eastbourne to other local business owners looking for ways to raise their profile in Eastbourne (and beyond!)

In May 2016, Embrace East Sussex said:

I love working with David and attending his networking events. It is great to have the mix of community and business in one network. David kindly lets Embrace use his blog and ticket system for our events and advertising and it makes a huge difference to us and allows a small charity get far better publicity than we would from our own facebook page solely with a different audience. David's input has allowed me to quickly grow the network I need to develop Embrace and I am very grateful for that. Highly recommend a call or a visit to the tweetup!
