"David Mitchell is a joy to work with and is multi-talented in a vast arena of business management, event planning and marketing. What is particularly special about David is his ability to bring life to a concept. He will listen very carefully to an idea and then give it a tangible form whether through a brand, logo, video presentation, or event concept. I have found this to be a very unique gift that goes far beyond graphic design. David is also quite intuitive and can help individuals or groups formulate plans and ideas and then communicate them in uniquely creative ways."

"David Mitchell is not only a professional from start to finish, but he is a highly creative thinker with an innovative way of taking a basic idea brainstormed by a committee beyond what is expected, raising the project to the extraordinary. Our Torch Award program stood out because of David’s ability to add quality and humanity to the message, consistency and clarity to the collateral, and a beauty that marked the project an award-winner in the eyes of the finalists and audience participants. We were able to utilize the collateral developed by David and his team again and again, as it stood the test of time, and still held the impact necessary to reflect honor and pride.”

Thank you, David Mitchell and Interactive Consulting, for helping us transform our abilities to better serve and connect with our members! In 2016 you took the content from a previously-outdated website with little interactive functionality, and developed a brand-new website for the Northwest PeriAnesthesia Nursing Association. In doing so, it is now visually attractive, current, and drives our members to it for the one-stop source for education, networking, and information! Not only did you develop a site with a fresh look and embed the required content from the previous site, but you took the time to train us how to use the site, how to develop images, and how to optimize the layout and configurations of the site. Your patience, knowledge, and tips were so very instrumental in getting us“up and running!” Our website often serves as a model for other associations looking to improve their ability to connect with their members. Thank you!

Past President / NPANA

Interactive Consulting founder David Mitchell was asked over two years ago to assist my nonprofit organization in updating their website. Little did we know the transformation that would take place and I am writing this to highly recommend his insight and services. At the time, as the incoming president for the Northwest PeriAnesthesia Nurses’ Association (NPANA), I had served as a board member for approximately one year. We were still using paper registration for conferences, mass e-mails for voting and a very uninspiring website to communicate with professional nurses across five diverse states. David initially met with the board members to simply understand the purpose and vision of the organization. Afterwards, he thoroughly investigated everything on his own. This included calling the national (ASPAN) office leaders for clarity and to better understand our mission, learning more about the nursing specialty itself and looking at other similar organizational webpages for benchmarking and ideas. When the actual build was complete he showcased the sites many features to the group. We were excited to use the online registration feature for an upcoming conference and found this to be a huge timesaver. After the launch, there was so much more that we discovered. I was impressed that David also took the time to meet with our communication coordinator to train on updating information, creating newsletters, on-line registration for conferences, mass communication e-mail set-up and changing the visual appeal graphics. The resulting website and functionality was stunning and has been easy to maintain. He continues to monitor us for needs that come up and has been an amazing wealth of knowledge and resources. Since the initial launch, our organization has grown tremendously. This is noticed not just numerically but in the engagement of members at educational offerings. There is a growing sense of community and belonging. At the last conference, we actually had a group of five millennial members approach us and volunteer as a committee to organize and host the next conference in their location. I am sure the ability to see our strategic plans and goals inspired this group. Additionally, we have many new local members organizing seminars, applying for and promoting scholarships for national offerings, forming committees and coming up with innovative ideas to increase membership and research for the perianesthesia specialty. Typically the majority of this work was done by the five or six board members for the entire region. Because David had the wisdom to link social media accounts to the new site, there continues to be an influx of younger nurses joining and stepping up to leadership positions and bringing their energy, technology skills and enthusiasm. David’s skill and ability to put ideas into action have left their mark on NPANA. I did not realize how key the “face” of an organization is as things are set into motion. His costs have been minimal compared to the lasting effects that have taken place and I would not hesitate to recommend him and his company to anyone needing these creative services.

David Mitchell and Interactive Consulting, now Brand New Consulting, helped me develop my original website from scratch. I was unclear on exactly what direction to take or how to move it all forward. David came alongside me and provided excellent technical direction and very creative solutions. Additionally, David enabled me to begin my online store to sell other related products to my HR authoring, consulting, and speaking. I was highly pleased with the website that was developed and the site received favorable reviews from colleagues and HR professionals. Over five years, David and his consultancy, continued to support the site and my continued publishing of articles. David was very adept at creating compelling visuals and artwork for my articles that truly conveyed the essence of the article's content. David also provided excellent writing support in writing article summaries or other areas of needed content. I was proud of the work we did together and the site I could share with others in speaking venues, interviews, and other contexts. David Mitchell is a talented creative professional whom I would recommend for branding, consulting, web design, and other areas of creative direction and services. He is highly insightful and resourceful. He is also personable and caring and in addition to being an esteemed professional colleague, has become a friend in the process.
