App Critque and Positioning

I had a great call with Brad. Has was very pleasant to speak to and provide heart felt feedback and ideas as though the business was his. I came off with newer ideas and feedback than I imagined. Every second of the call was worth it.

I enjoyed my call with Brad. He's got the experience I was looking for, but more importantly, he was proactive in helping me.

Prior to our call he researched my website and was able to offer custom advice. This level of feedback is rarely given, and I am appreciative of Brad's support.

Brad brought to the conversation a wealth of valuable insights. He spent the time going through our information previous to the call, so our call was productive from the get go. As a result of the call with Brad we starting fine-tuning our marketing strategy. Brad also gave us specific tips on how to test our marketing initiatives. Very useful conversation!

Had a short call with Brad who was hugely helpful. I felt like I was at a crossroads, not knowing which road to take, and after the call I know exactly where to go. Thanks Brad!

Brad's one of the most friendly and knowledgable marketing professionals I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He's able to understand complex web applications at all levels even down through the underlying systems and then identify possible partners and their respective synergies.

I reported directly to Brad Nickel at Venali, Inc. As VP of Marketing, Brad was a terrific manager who respected his team and was able to assess and sharpen the individual skill sets of each team member, myself included.

I worked with Brad for a number of years and appreciated his management style and his ability to delegate responsibility. Brad was instrumental in growing our company’s marketing initiatives and fostered a collaborative environment. He inspired me to learn more and motivated our team to effectively and efficiently solve our marketing communication challenges, particularly in technology and social media.

Brad generated enthusiasm about the marketing process and was always upbeat and positive, which spilled over to other departments in the company. He is a tremendous asset to any organization and I thoroughly enjoyed the time I worked with him. Without reservation, I highly recommend Brad for any endeavor he chooses to pursue.

"Venali 2004-2006: As the Director of Channel sales I worked closely with Brad and his marketing team to position our internal and our business partners' integrated solutions to meet our strategic sales and marketing goals. Brad's extensive marketing experience with web-based promotions, education and publishing helped the Channel division promote partner solutions that made our company unique in our industry space. Brad's expertise, exceptional marketing vision, and his team's integral participation enhanced our Channel sales with unparalleled results."

Brad demonstrated to me that he understood what business is all about. He thrived under adversity. Almost without exception, he put the customer first, feeling as I do that the key to good business is satisfied customers. I suppose doing well in business is easy if you are, as he was, driven in equal measure by both quality and efficiency. I admired him for his many valuable qualities, and regarded him with evermore respect. Very goal oriented as well as a team player, Brad was always punctual, yet easygoing. He was keenly devoted to his work, but being a real people person, he was also enjoyable to be around. I have no hesitation in recommending Brad Nickel and I feel confident he would be an asset to any organization.

Brad is a great guy who gets the job done. Smart politics and IT mix. Always came through in a pinch.
