What my colleagues say about working with me

Neal Stewart

VP of Marketing - Direct Manager

"I had the pleasure of working with Nick Neal at Dan-O's Seasoning, where he served as our Social Media Manager and I can confidently say he was one of the most dedicated and strategic digital professionals I've worked alongside. Nick was at the helm of managing a massive organic social media ecosystem that included nearly one million subscribers on YouTube, over 4 million followers on TikTok, 500,000+ on Instagram, and more than 2 million on Facebook. What stood out most about Nick was his ability to balance creativity with performance. He constantly looked for new, engaging ways to connect with our audience while staying laser-focused on KPIs. His calm and professional demeanor, especially given the high level of attention and expectations from leadership, was a testament to his maturity and capability. If you're looking for someone to lead or elevate your social media presence...someone who understands the creative and strategic sides of the job and thrives in fast-paced, high-stakes environments, Nick Neal is that person. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat."

Jason Lyvers

Social Media Director - Direct Manager

"There are many, many positive things that I can say about Nick Neal. During my time at Dan-O's Seasoning, I worked in collaboration with Nick, and for a short time, he worked directly under me. Nick brings a wide range of tangible and intangible skills to the table. The numbers that the social media accounts he has been responsible for have produced speak for themselves. He is as skilled and knowledgeable about the various social platforms, their respective users, and the consumer psychology involved as anyone I've known. The things that you want from a team member, though, are the things that Nick does equally as well as his strategic job performance. He is kind, empathetic, compassionate, understanding, adaptable, and smart. Nick has a very high emotional intelligence, which is such an undervalued trait in the modern workplace. He gets along with everyone equally, all without being a 'yes man' or a sycophant. He speaks his mind and stands up for what he thinks is right, all without burning bridges or making teammates feel unheard or misunderstood. In today's day and age of social media marketing, you hire someone like Nick for the person that they are and for their ability to communicate with a vast range of different people extremely effectively. I'd work alongside Nick again at the drop of a hat."

Jason Graham

Social Media and Content Manager - Team Member

"Saying that Nicholas is talented is an understatement. Having been on the same team and worked with him on many projects, I saw firsthand the value he brought. He built and managed social media accounts with ease, boosted engagement in large online communities, and used data to guide smart, effective decisions for us. Overall, Nicholas is a hard worker who is determined, detail-oriented, and efficient. He approaches challenges with creativity and clear thinking, making sure projects are done well and deliver the results needed. Any company that hires Nicholas will be getting a skilled professional and a dependable teammate who will make a real impact. I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future."
