Over the years, I’ve worked with some phenomenal people. It has been an honor.
I worked with Corey Brown every day, seven days a week, for nine years. He has been a collaborator, instigator, trafficker of all things. He’s invented, trimmed, expanded and motivated. He has been a CPO who acted in all ways like the co-founder that he is… Corey’s diligence and ethics go hand in hand. He’s able to do the right thing even when the pressure is there to bend or find a shortcut. And his ability to find and lead a small cadre of loyal people is extraordinary.
I first met Corey back in 1998. I could tell immediately this guy was different. A volcano of ideas and visionary in every sense of the word. A brilliant futurist who has an innate understanding of the human mind and behavior. With uncompromising ethics and integrity… Corey has the gift to envision and implement at the same time, and he’s always years ahead of anyone. A true genius. Period.
Corey is easily the smartest person I know and, if it wasn’t for him, I’d still be struggling to figure out how to grow my business. He’s taken the time to understand what I do, who my audience might be, and has made tactical suggestions on what I should do each step of the way.
Corey and I partnered closely for over 2 years through highly complex projects at Chico’s FAS, and he was always able to provide rational points of view and feedback through thick and thin. He has an unparalleled track record and is hands down the most knowledgeable and skilled technical partner I have worked with in my 20-year career.
Corey is the total package. Strategic thinker, insightful inventor, team-oriented collaborator, and hands-on maker. He knows when you need to make decisions based on gut and when (and how) data and research can guide you. He balances business savvy with inspired creativity and can organize, motivate, and lead a team that delivers.
Once you meet Corey, you know you want to work with him. Once you work with him, you know you want to work with him again. Corey, quite simply, is a stellar human being who also happens to be wildly talented in many areas, with a special emphasis on business, community building, and websites. His no BS approach is refreshing in a world full of people who overpromise and underdeliver. Corey doesn’t do that. He gets curious. He listens. He doesn’t do what’s easy every time. Instead, he does what’s right.
Corey is the perfect person to help you with your website. He understands how website consumers think, what their needs and patterns are, and how you can stand out. The combination of having a marketing wiz, a dev wiz, and a bass wiz all in one person – that’s a dream come true. Corey has helped me on several junctures, and it’s always been an eye-opener and made a real difference! Now is the time to be online or to boost your online presence!
Over the years, I’ve been a regular reader of Corey’s online bass magazine, No Treble. And I’m not alone. With over 300,000 monthly visits, the website is enormously popular in the bass community. Having collaborated with Corey on multiple projects over the years, it’s easy to see why his website is successful: he cares about the people he works with, he has a clear vision, and he’s committed to creating an extremely helpful resource for bass players all over the world.
When Corey finds something to believe in, hang on tight — there’s no stopping him. And why would you want to? You just might wind up living in a better world.
Corey is able to communicate massive projects with clarity and detail that give clients confidence and assurance, as well as clear direction for the project’s developers. He surrounds himself with people he can trust, and that trust gives developers the freedom and motivation to do great work. He corrects with kindness and generosity, building bridges to always achieve a vision of excellence. Any team and project would excel with Corey at the helm.
Corey’s work with No Treble has made it an invaluable resource for bass players around the world. In a very short time, No Treble has surpassed many veteran bass publications as the most trusted source of news that concerns bassists. Whether it’s breaking news on the latest bass gear, reporting on the biggest names in the bass world, or shining a light on up-and-coming players, No Treble is the go-to site for all things bass on the web.
