Testimonials


Stephen rejuvenated our overall marketing. With no prior experience in the printing industry, he quickly assessed the market and developed an integrated marketing strategy comprising a new SEO-enhanced website, refreshed branding, customer research, buyer persona-based content marketing, and reactivated social media. This all came together in launching and operationalizing an automated inbound marketing platform. We highly recommend Stephen as a strategic marketing change agent who is also adept at executing across a wide range of marketing programs.”

Stephen is one of the most dynamic and effective marketers I have ever worked with, and that is saying something given the very talented people I have had the great opportunity to work with throughout my career. A tireless worker, he thinks very strategically and executes faster than the speed of business. This was critical at PCTS because the Healthcare IT market, and especially the emerging market segment we play in, evolves very rapidly.

He was instrumental in developing our corporate identity, foundational company messaging and brand strategies, and greatly elevated PCTS’ presence in the market by working hand-in-hand with our clients to get the message out on the compelling value and hard ROI our solutions delivered to them. Equally impressive, the volume of high quality work Stephen delivered could not have been accomplished without his resourceful innovation and passion.

He was sales team’s dream, swiftly and adeptly supporting their marketing needs in a continuously changing landscape. His drive for excellence enabled the PCTS Sales team to accelerate the customer acquisition process and articulate our differentiation in convincing fashion.

Stephen’s impact has and will be a lasting one on PCTS. He truly raised the bar. I enthusiastically endorse Stephen

Stephen was exceptional at sales and marketing for PCTS, managing both virtual and on-the-ground events for the organization. He utilized the emerging on-line services along with coordinating print, media and conference marketing elements.

He was masterful at targeting the use of search technology to direct potential customers to our web sites, marketing campaigns and conferences.

Fun to work with, collaborative and goal oriented, Stephen is one of the most capable professionals I have worked with.

My firm and I worked with Stephen and his Hello Health marketing team on the launch of a new concept in primary care medicine. It required an incredible combination of rigor and risk taking, and an understanding that the value proposition really was in the details. It was Stephen’s leadership, determination and willingness to get in the trenches with everyone that made the collaboration such a success both in outcome and journey. He is a consummate professional and a true marketer that knows how to get it done and how the worlds of BtoB and BtoC are both similar and decidedly different. No BS, just smarts, hard worker and a good guy. There you have it.

I have known Stephen Armstrong on a professional, as well as a personal basis during our tenures at CliniComp International. During this time, I have found Stephen to be a person of the highest integrity, extremely knowledgeable in his professional specialty of marketing, and business planning, and very client service-oriented. He has earned the respect of his superiors, peers, colleagues, and subordinates, as a strategic-minded, hands-on, and detail-oriented senior manager, leading by example, working with all levels of personnel to achieve department and company operating objectives, in a proficient and productive manner.

Stephen provides a unique blend of long-term strategic thinking with exemplary common business sense. His attention to detail does not mean losing track of the overall company earnings and growth objectives. Stephen possesses a broad array of business, marketing public relations and sales related skills, and as a result, would be a very productive senior manager that can lead a company’s marketing and sales teams.

Stephen’s depth and breadth of experience extends across many related fields such as, business development, competitive analysis, market research, sales and customer relations, general marketing and operations, and leverages his expertise well. A consummate and dedicated professional, Stephen continuously demonstrates passion for his work, analyzing short and long-term organizational and operational goals and strategies.

I highly recommend Stephen Armstrong, and I am solidly confident that he will be a great contributor and valuable team member wherever a senior management opportunity presents itself.
