What My Clients Are Saying...
I've been fortunate to have worked with hundreds of clients and companies throughout my career. Here is what they have to say:
Jan Soolman, Owner
Clutch Towels
"As a smaller operation I did not have a big budget, but I was able to work with them and get big results. My campaign generated strong ROI and drove sales and visits to my site. Working with Phaon was great. He was always responsive, knowledgeable and professional, keeping me on task and on budget. My business is in a much better place now, and I would highly recommend!"
Remy Arteaga, Executive Director, CUNY Startups
Thank you so much for giving your time and expertise!!
"I learned so much from your workshop, and I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable in the space, but you are clearly an expert!! The information you shared with our founders was on point and outstanding. Digital Marketing is a critical aspect of any business and you made it understandable and actionable."
Dr. Erin Wheeler, Executive Director of College Beyond
"It was a pleasure working with Phaon. They understood our industry, needs and goals. Their solutions were very detailed, yet practical and effective."
Lamar Shambley, Executive Director of Teens of Color Abroad
"Bringing Phaon on as a consultant for our spring fundraiser was one of the best decisions we made. He communicated clearly through every step of the process, adjusted his strategy to align with our vision, and developed a marketing guide that brought our dreams to a reality."
Christina Kay, Senior Manager, Digital Marketing at MetLife
"In early December 2019 I had the privilege of attending a panel discussion on the topic of experiential marketing. The evening in itself was an ‘experience’ for me, as that night I became a ‘Phaon Fan’.
From his authentic responses to his innate excitement for the work, Phaon’s passion and talents for engagement marketing was clearly evident. And most impressive (in my humble opinion) was his ability to connect with the audience on a human level. Truly an honor to meet a remarkable marketer!"
Ann Akinnuoye, Head of Partner Relations, Brand Partnerships, Rock The Bells
"Working with Phaon (Prototype MKTG) has been truly a breath of fresh air, from his experience and professionalism. His knowledge in the marketing and activation space made him extremely valuable as he was able to jump in at various times of projects with little to no learning curve. He is super insightful and quick on his feet. Truly a pleasure to work with (Prototype MKTG), hoping to continue working with him in the future."
Raphael Richard, Associate Manager, Internship Program, T. Howard Foundation
“Loved the energy” is how one of our college students at the T. Howard Foundation described “Build Your Own Voice: Personal Branding” an engaging workshop presented and facilitated by Phaon Spurlock at our 2018 Intern Orientation. The purpose of this orientation was to prepare over 100 interns with essential skills needed to help them be successful and standout at their summer internships with media and entertainment companies. Phaon’s use of GIFS and emoji’s was appealing and relevant for our college student audience from start to finish."..."We would definitely invite Phaon back to engage with our interns about branding!"
Ivana Noble, Actress
“Phaon gave me one of the best consultations I’ve had in years. He began the session by asking me questions tailored to my needs and line of work. His in-depth knowledge about different professions was astounding. Because of Phaon, I now have a marketing plan tailored to my strengths, interests and hobbies. I no longer feel intimidated to brand myself on a larger scale.
Also, Phaon provided a safe space for me to explain my fears and concerns freely. In return, he was an active listener and concise communicator. I left the session feeling confident, set up for success, and very prepared as I embark upon my self-branding journey. Thank you Phaon!”
Richard S., Founder of NYC Autism Community Group
“The return on investment was off the charts; cost per click, click through rates were well above what you could even dream about. We added almost 1000 ticket sales in less than a month! Unheard of! Plus Phaon Spurlock was a force and so supportive!”
Sarah Maibach, Senior Program Manager
New York University Entrepreneurial Institute
"Phaon Spurlock is a highly effective educator, digital marketer, and entrepreneur. Phaon led an NYU Startup School workshop on "Digital Marketing Essentials | Targeting the Right Audience on a Budget" for NYU's startup community in February 2021. Many of the participating startups have limited budgets for digital marketing - Phaon shared specific strategies based on dollar allotments in a digestible and detailed format. Participants left the session with a clear understanding of nuanced topics and tangible next steps. The virtual session was also extremely engaging and received rave reviews from attendees. We look forward to working with Phaon again."
Shuga Henry, Event Emcee/Performing Artist, Strikingly Different Entertainment
"I recently was working on a social media campaign for my company and was not getting the results I wanted. The analytics showed me that my message was not being communicated well. After a consulting phone call with Phaon, he helped to better conceptualize how to create my target audience. In addition, how to better create my social media advertising. His advice was very valuable and helped me greatly."
Tamar Pierre, Attendee at The Career Day for the Soul Panel
