Jackie is a dedicated, hardworking, passionate person who you could always count on to follow through and get things done. Apart from being a great marketer and communicator, her enthusiasm and energy was highly contagious to all of us here at Qik.

-Bhaskar Roy, co-founder, Qik

Leading edge marketer. Jackie has no fear of being the first to explore new ideas. A credit to the marketing industry.

-Julie Moran, Chief Financial Officer, Latitude Group

Jackie is one of those rare individuals who can magically make things happen. In my contact with Qik, she has done so much to promote our products and technologies. She is also very well connected and is very effective at driving for results. I look forward to working with Jackie whenever I can.

-Loke Uei Tan, Senior Technical Product Manager, Microsoft

Jackie’s contribution to the Big Blog Company was crucial to the company’s presence and reputation today. Describing her as driven, efficient, hard-working, agile as well as understanding the big picture does not do her justice.

-Adriana Lukas, founder & director, the Big Blog Company

Jackie is a real joy to work with, some one whose dedication and passion – incredibly infectious. A brilliant communicator in effectively presenting forth important messaging for various marketing channels and audiences. Jackie’s tremendous experience in marketing will really add value to any given project.

-Audrey Tan, Product Marketing Manager, Qik

Jackie’s passion and dedication at Qik was inspiring. She had great ideas and understood not only the strategic objectives but also the nuances of marketing in a startup. It almost became an art, guided by genuinely caring for all users and giving them the best possible experience. A real pleasure working with such a brilliant mind.

-Minxuan Lee, Product Marketing, Qik

I’ve known Jackie since the mid 90s. She is among the 3 or 4 people I respect more than anyone else in the world. Her personality and her skills are inspiring.

-Daniel Barker, E-Marketing Manager, Insight

Jackie is one the smartest and brightest people I know. She doesn’t fool around when it comes to business, and she doesn’t waste any time. If you work with Jackie, you can expect a great Marketing plan.

-Daniel Brusilovsky, Evanglist & Product Marketing, Qik

In the bestseller The Tipping Point, author Malcolm Gladwell posits that three personality types drive business, trends and ideas: Connectors, Mavens and Salesmen. I was initially going to write that Jackie is an exemplar of the first, one of “these people who link us up with the world… who introduce us to our social circles—these people on whom we rely more heavily than we realize… people with a special gift for bringing the world together.” And she certainly is this, and yet she is also a Maven, always looking for new ideas and passing them on…[S]he knows that to give away the experience will only amplify it, and move us all to the next square. The natures of the blogosphere and of Jackie are, in this way, identical.

And yet, Jackie is also a Salesman, creating these sites because she understands they are the new currency, the way ideas and real goods are moving and will move and why not do it better, sooner and faster? Where so many businesses, and especially media, struggle to navigate the blogosphere, Jackie is always looking for dynamism, to streamline, and if this means she must pronounce the latest bells-and-whistlers technology a hackneyed piece of crap, she’ll do it. But she’ll also be the first to stoke a good idea.

In the past year Jackie has accomplished extraordinary things, and continues to do so each and every week. On a personal note, she is also the most generous person I know. Her combination of tenacity and tenderness makes the world a fairer, brighter place.

-Nancy Rommelmann, journalist and co-founder, Ristretto Roasters

I wonder if you ever tire of hearing the words, “I don’t know how to thank you enough…” but I am sure the number is (or very well should be) astronomical, relative to most.

If the rest of the world isn’t aware, I surely am — of how much effort you put in to making this (and every) [event] happen…

I’m simply amazed by you and your talents. Thank you, Ms. Jackie. And here’s to worlds colliding.

-Tracy Sheridan, CEO, Waxxi

I established Seraphic Press, an independent publisher devoted to fine literature for children, with a great deal of enthusiasm. But we had no idea how we were going to publicize our small company and sell enough books to justify our existence. And then, along came Jackie Danicki and the Big Blog Company. In no time at all, a vision was born and clarified. Seraphic Press is now a very well known publisher in our niche, with many awards to our credit. I have a loyal community of readers and our first novel is now in its second printing. Jackie and the Big Blog Company bring many revelations about how networked audiences can help a brand. Everything has changed, and they know exactly how to make the changes work for your company. Without Jackie and the Big Blog Company, Seraphic Press is nothing.

-Robert Avrech, Founder, Seraphic Press

Jackie is just as ferociously smart and energetic in person as she is on her blog…

-Cathy Seipp, journalist and columnist (UPI, LA Times, NRO, International Women’s Forum)

Working with Jackie on promoting Qik has been a great pleasure…Through these projects, her guidance and comments has been extremely helpful to me and the team in getting the job done. In my humble opinion, Jackie believes that marketing is about sincerity and being genuine to our users. This is evident in her work with Qik…I truly enjoyed working with her as she brings in much joy and laughter into the company and brightens up the people around her.
