Dave Davis
Director, Redfly LTD

“Over the 6 months I’ve gotten to know Sakis on a very professional level on the official AdWords help forum where he is a Google recognized top contributor. Sakis is one of the very few AdWords professionals who is constantly on the leading edge of new features, new tactics and AdWords in general. I have personally learned a great deal (which I selfishly thought was impossible) from Sakis over the time we’ve been contributing together on the forums. Sakis is professional, patient, extremely knowledgeable in AdWords and he is the one I turn to when I need “out of the box” creative solutions to what seem like impossible to solve issues. Sakis is always on hand to selflessly give out advanced advice and solutions with an almost astonishing amount of patience. His research and passion to share his findings, research and expertise is something to behold in itself. I have no problem recommending Sakis for anything relating to advanced online marketing, especially when it comes to what sometimes seems like insider knowledge of AdWords! If you have a complicated (or even general) issue with AdWords, it would be a mistake not to go to Sakis first.” April 21, 2010

“I had the pleasure to work with Sakis at Mindworks Interactive. Not only is he a very nice person to be around with, but he is also ready to support your ideas and enhance them with new insights. He has proven that he is results-driven, cares about every detail without losing sight of the main goal. His open-minded character, his intellectual abilities, and his ability to think outside of the box makes him someone who generates great ideas. I would definitely recommend Sakis for any marketing position and I would really like to work again with him in the future if an opportunity arises.” April 19, 2010

He is the man to ask when you need to know where your business shall be going and how it will get there. A great marketing professional, and a great person.” May 17, 2008
