“Brad did a fantastic job of helping our organization to understand the basics and the importance of social media and email marketing as an integral part of our marketing efforts. He listened carefully to our needs and then gave a beautifully tailored presentation that was exactly what we were hoping for. I would highly recommend Brad if you are looking to learn more or need a pro to guide you through the maze of social media and email marketing.”
- Jeane Larkins, Executive Director Lowry Foundation
“Brad was very receptive to the needs of our group. We asked him to deliver content on two subjects that were of importance to our members. He created presentations that fit these needs, were personalized to our group and contained the information we wanted to learn about. As a speaker, he was friendly and engaging. He delivered new ideas and tools we can put to work in our businesses immediately to better serve our clients. We were afraid his talks might turn into sales pitches for his business. This did not happen. We were very pleased with Brad and would use him again in the future.”
- David P. Whitley, Colorado Auctioneers Foundation, Board of Directors
“Brad's presentation gave state associations a great overview of how social media works and how to best utilize it. I appreciated his suggestions on how to maximize our Facebook posts/sites and the explanations of what works best on each social media vehicle. His simple and accessible approach was refreshing since so many online presenters overwhelm people with internet jargon. I found his presentation concise, valuable and full of actionable takeaways.”
- Olivia, American Society of Acupuncturists
“Brad's presentation on the ins and outs of creating a presence on social media was easygoing, friendly and casual. As non-profit professional organizations, we have slightly different needs than the average company and Brad was able to pick up on that immediately and customize the presentation to our group. His formula for social media use was not overly prescriptive, but rather gave us a set of guidelines to optimize results with whichever site we chose to focus on. It was a very useful presentation!”
- Henry Buchtel, American Society of Acupuncturists
“Brad spoke to our group about using social media before, during and after a meeting or event. Among other things, he shared tactics for “getting butts in seats” and improving attendee satisfaction. He provided good information that we could execute on immediately. He made what many thought would be a dry subject, incredibly interesting. Even some of the non-believers in the room walked away with food for thought.”
- Chele Clark, President, Society of Government Meeting Professionals (SGMP), Rocky Mountain Chapter
“Brad Gave the keynote address at our “LinkedIn - Creating your Personal Brand” event on campus. His talk was informative. His style was engaging. A comment in the Evaluation from one of our students really sumed it up when he wrote, “The only thing that would have made today better would have been giving more time to the keynote speaker.” Additionally, I have to say how impressed I was that Brad stayed after he spoke to have lunch with our students and share his knowledge with them. He also stayed for the LinkedIn hands-on training conducted by one of our professors and helped work with the students. Brad is a true professional!”
- Glenn Holly, Career Center and FYE Manager, Red Rocks Community College
“Brad,As you know I am somewhat technophobic and resistant. Your assistance with LinkedIn made that experience workable and easy. Without your help and support, we could not have made the best use of our LinkedIn efforts. You are now a trusted advisor and mentor for all of our LinkedIn marketing efforts.”
- Avram Saunders, President, Lightning Eliminators
“Brad's assistance in writing and editing our Rock The World with Social Media book was exceptional, complete and oh so timely. He has an especially quick and effective way of figuring things out and sharing that knowledge in terms of words and actions. You can't do any better.”
- Mike O'Neil, The LinkedIn Rock Star
“Brad had unique ideas in drafting my LinkedIn profile and provided valuable suggestions for the most effective use of LinkedIn.”
- Diane McAllister, CPA at Brown Welch McAllister, LLP
“Hi Brad, you spoke at the law school at DU this fall and motivated me to make my LinkedIn profile. I appreciated your PowerPoint presentation and all of your advice! Your presentation included valuable information about how to make my profile unique and marketable to potential employers. Thanks also for connecting with me on LinkedIn!”
- Joanne Morando, DU Law Student
“When I first started with Linkedin, I put the very basic information up on my profile. I didn’t really know what I was doing and I didn’t really know about any advantage that Linkedin could provide to me. Brad Friedman and The Friedman Group, LLC sat down with me and explained how I could use my Linkedin account to connect to the right people and get to my end goal of finding a new career, a lot faster. He explained how getting involved in groups and connecting to people I know, would make my profile more visible and broadens my chances of my success. Brad took my very dull, boring profile and made it into a very appealing, attention-grabbing profile. In a job market like today, you need every bit of expertise to set you apart from the competition. My little bit of expertise is Brad and The Friedman Group, LLC. With his help I now have a cutting edge against my competition.”
- Gena Beagle, Manager, Jewish Community Foundation
“The Friedman Group, LLC helped us launch our presence on LinkedIn. Specifically, Brad helped us to develop complete and professional profiles for each of our brokers, build our network of links to other people, identify and join appropriate groups and taught us how to commence a dialogue on LinkedIn. Brad did all of this work with the highest degree of professionalism. Without Brad’s help, we never would have been able to get this project off the ground.”
- Douglas S. Antonoff, President, Antonoff & Co. Brokerage, Inc.

“Thank you for your presentation for ABC Bridal Consultants. It was really helpful to find out about scheduling Facebook posts and using Facebook ads. I would recommend other businesses take the time to participate in your workshops.”
- Holly Collins, Owner, Adventures in Dance
“Brad and the Friedman Group listened to what our company needed, came up with a creative strategy that would work within our corporate culture and executed implementation seamlessly meeting and exceeding our expectations while providing a solution that accomplished the job we required. It is rare to work with a company that embraces honesty, ethics and innovation in this day and age.”
- JoOnna Silberman, Marketing Coordinator Lightning Eliminators
“Brad did a terrific job helping our non-profit develop and implement a social media plan. Our numbers have improved dramatically. He was able to meet us where we were at in terms of skills, and not only create what we needed but provide us the training so we could continue on our own. He taught us to fish!”
- Julie Reiskin, Executive Director, Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition
“Brad was extremely helpful in helping me to better understand the business development applications of using social marketing, and even more valuably, via a hands-on lesson, showing me how to implement and use those tools in a practical way.”
- Bob Webster, President, Webster Investment Advisors
“Brad has a very focused perspective on what is needed to be successful in a professional service firm - his law background and outstanding client relationship skills makes him extremely useful when needing to come to the point quickly - His interest in providing a sterling presentation of each of his client's to the b to b and b to c worlds shines through as you listen to his assessment of your situation - Highly recommend Brad to any level professional services provider - whether in law, accounting or management consulting .”
- Bill Heck, Managing Principal, Harlon Group
“I've worked with Brad both in his earlier capacity as Executive Director of a Non-Profit foundation, and in his current position, having him help me to make sense of the Social Media universe for professional purposes. Brad has consistently shown himself to be an individual of the highest professional competence in all areas in which he chooses to work. In his current position, he has helped me immensely, and continues to do so. I cannot recommend Brad highly enough in this regard: His understanding of this leading edge medium, from a professional standpoint, is outstanding. In addition to being very accountable from the standpoint of his production of promised material, the quality of the output is right on the mark. He has a real feel for how this medium works, how to communicate within it, and how to utilize it for maximum potential. I look forward to continuing to work with him as the opportunities arise, and look forward to continued success in this area as a result.”
- Mark Pells, CIC, CRM, The Wright Group/Pells Insurance
“In these stressful times of doing business, it is always a pleasure to hire a consultant that not only adds value to your bottom line but does it with a smile and a chuckle. Brad Friedman brought that perspective to the brokers in my company for which I am very thankful. He taught us the importance of examining our strengths, weaknesses, skills, and agility inside and outside the company and how we fit or should fit into our particular business niche on the Internet. I highly recommend The Friedman Group to any company that wants to enhance their employees’ status within the community in which they live, as well as the LinkedIn community. He has helped my brokers become better in touch with other professionals tangential to our business and increased their awareness of how important the phrase “It is not what you know, but who you know!” I'd recommend you let The Friedman Group help you enhance your presence on LinkedIn and build a strong referral base for you and your company.”
- Jeffrey Hirschfeld, Partner, Antonoff & Co. Brokerage, Inc.
“I engaged Brad for a one-on-one coaching session about Twitter. He was knowledgeable, patient and thorough as I took in the information and worked to apply it to my circumstances. Brad was very receptive and responsive when I had follow up questions. Frankly, I took a leap of faith since I had never worked with Brad nor did I have a personal reference on his work. I could just tell from his posts in our social media discussion group that he would be helpful and happily, I was right.”
- Diana Mines Nielander, Co-Founder, High-Impact Consulting
SEO & Website Assessments
I looked for a true expert for over 9 years to help with SEO optimization of our website. After dealing with several of the “so-called” experts, I was fortunate enough to come into contact with The Friedman Group. I can’t say enough as to how pleased I am with their work. The results have been amazing – we can see and feel the increase in sales after the recommended SEO enhancements have been made, and generally within only a few weeks. My only regret is that I didn’t discover the Friedman Group 9 years ago!
- Mike Morrissey, President, Bandages Plus
“Brad Friedman gave me a brief analysis of my website which was really so precise and valuable. He communicates with warmth and clarity the how's and why’s of Google and website use. His recommendations were exactly what I needed. I heartily recommend saying yes to this service!”
- Carol Joyce, PhD, RN. New York City
