Testimonials

"Def Method has been fortunate enough to work with marketing guru and business advisor Mary Doizé and Chief Outsiders since late 2022. Our success is a testament to her expertise, and we are immensely grateful for the contributions she has made." 

Joe Leo, CEO, Def Method

Oscar Jaramillo, CEO, Scholes Marketing

 

"Mary was such a joy to work with. She was so organized and skilled at the tasks we set out to accomplish. She was amazing at not only high level strategy but project management and getting in the trenches and doing the work. Exceeded our expectations and gave us so much clarity we didn’t have as far as who we are as a brand."

Chris Picou, CEO, Lido Labs

 

“Those meetings were very productive, providing much of the value that we received from Chief Outsiders,” stated Conkle. “Mary blended right in with the team and became part of the family, which is something that we really value and appreciate.” “You can either lean on the shoulders of others with market experience or you can try to figure it out yourself through trial and error,” he concluded. “We were moving at such a fast pace that we didn’t have time to do the latter. Working with Chief Outsiders made my job a whole lot easier.”

Zane Conkle, CEO, Cytracom
