Client Testimonial:

"I've known Bobby Fricks and worked with him professionally for a number of years. We utilize him at Rick Laney Marketing for some of our social media work and he is fantastic to work with. Understanding social media is completely different from understanding business and marketing objectives. We use Bobby because he understands the purpose behind what we're doing with social media - and he gets results every time."

Client Testimonial:

"My entire business model is contingent upon creating and disseminating quality content via social media. As a relative newcomer to the industry, I still have a great deal to learn. From posting patterns, to audience engagement, to platform usage, I have had to learn a lot in a relatively short period of time. Through a lot of hard work and dedication, I am extremely happy to say that I have created a local fan base that I am confident can turn into a national audience. And quite frankly, this would not have been possible without Bobby's expertise, knowledge and sound professional advice. Working with Bobby has been an awesome learning experience and a true enjoyment. Not only does he posses the technical skills to help a person or company increase their level of effectiveness and social media presence, he is an outstanding communicator and truly has a passion for helping others become successful. Since our first encounter (and subsequent business relationship), he has exhibited nothing but the highest level of professionalism and commitment to excellence. Simply put, I would recommend Bobby to any entity that is looking to improve their brand recognition via social media. His trustworthiness, honesty and character are second to none. He is absolutely the kind of partner you need to grow your business and profitability."

Client Testimonial

John Pennington of The Sports Source

"My television show, The Sports Source, has been on-air since 2003. We have a bigger audience than any sports tv/radio show in East Tennessee. And by far, the best off-air move I’ve made over the years was hiring Bobby Fricks (Social Protocol) to help manage my social media presence.
Our terrific growth over the past year can be traced in large part to the social messaging Bobby has used to create sampling for my product.
He’s sharp, engages, conscientious and very easy to work with. I can’t say enough good things abut him… or the service he provides."
