He's guided many businesses and individuals to success in their business and helped them achieve their marketing goals, both online and offline. In addition David is an experienced British voiceover artist.

As Senior Internet Consultant to Agora Inc. in Baltimore, MD, David worked closely with Agora's publishers and marketers and over an 8-year period helped to propel Agora's online revenues to over $300 Million in 2009.

"I have found David's knowledge and experience unmatched in the industry. Without David's expertise and guidance for the past 7 years, we would not be nearly as successful as we are."

- Myles Norin, CEO, Agora, Inc.

David hails from England and now lives on a small farm close to Mount Hood in Oregon with his wife, a veterinarian, their five children and a menagerie of animals (no more, please!). When not marketing or brainstorming you'll find David following a dream of self-sufficiency for food, power and water within 10 years, tending the land and caring for the farm and animals. Not surprisingly, David is an engaging and knowledgeable speaker with many amusing anecdotes from his work and travels over the years.

"Ask David Cross!"

I can't even count the number of times I've said that phrase in the past 10 years. Any time we needed to figure out a better way to do something, how to get more traffic, why something wasn't working (and what to do to fix it!), or had a new idea we wanted to test and wanted to make sure we did it right the first time, my response was always the same: "Ask David Cross." And it's always been the right way to go.

It's very hard to find someone who understands hardware, software and actual human beings at the same time. His knowledge is unparalleled, his natural instincts and insights are invaluable, and his creativity is a breath of fresh air, especially in an industry overloaded with people who think about technology but not about customers.

In addition to all that, he is truly a delight to work with. I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to work with him, but even luckier to be able to say that he's become a valued friend."Our group has been working with David for many years and in that time he's shown us many valuable ways to enhance our presence on the web including driving more traffic to our website.

"David is one of the best voiceover artists I've had the pleasure of working with. He simply captivates an audience with his dynamic personality. Intelligent, entertaining, personable, engaging - these are just a few of the many qualities that come through in his work. When put to the test, David's voiceover increased our response rate by five times the amount our control promotion brought in. I'll take those numbers any day."

- Danielle O'Dell, Marketing Director, The White Cap Research Group

"As the CEO of a major publishing and Internet marketing company, the up-to-the-minute marketing techniques I've learned from David over the years factor in to almost every decision I make. In fact, his advice has played a major role in hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars in sales in this year alone.

"He knows not only what's working today...but what's going to work tomorrow. And that pioneering, "never resting on his laurels" attitude gives me and my company the edge I'm looking for.

"But the great part is, as an advisor to my company, he also takes time to break down his "expert-level" marketing tactics when mentoring my employees. I've seen the results in the past several months as my team markets smarter and faster...and, most importantly, brings in more revenue."
