 What Others Are Saying about Jason and “100 Cups”:

 What can I say about Jason and 100 Cups? They have taken what little we knew about Social Media (some of it incorrect) and helped us learn, expand, and grow our followers, page likes, organic interaction, and more faster and more effectively than we ever could on our own. But more than just practical advice and tips, his encouragement and accountability to help us do the best we can with these tools is what sets him apart. He genuinely cares for his clients and wants to see them succeed. He celebrates wins with us and continually helps us strive for more and more. There isn’t anything else we could want more.

 The Gallatin Area Chamber of Commerce has had the pleasure of working with Jason on several occasions and in a variety of capacities. He has been a resource for our 500+ members through our luncheon series in which he delivered informative and valuable information related to social media management, marketing, and creative content development. Additionally, he has been an outstanding resource to my staff and I, always only a phone call away to bounce ideas. Over the years, I have witnessed him take the brand identities of several of my Chamber members to the next level, both online and off. Above all else, he is a connector. He has the ability to connect individuals of all kinds through conversation, creativity, and engagement.

 Before Jason came along we had so much on our plate and felt like we were just trying to survive when it came to social media. Jason gave us direction, helped us prioritize, get a strategy together and showed us some really valuable tricks and tips that ultimately has helped us engage our audience in ways that whenever thought we could. Some of our posts have had so much engagement they’ve been seen by over a million people! The growth we’ve seen on all of our platforms since working with Jason has been unbelievable.
