“Your days are long, and those projects are stacking up. If only you were able to work with someone who knows your style and how you work as well as you do. Perhaps a partner…a Digital Partner.   That’s right, a “Digital Partner” – someone who understands you and works with you to complete digital tasks. You need someone who you can contact, explain your situation, express your goals for the project and then depend on them to complete that project or task just as you would.”
