- Hal

I assumed we’d get the same here. NOT THE CASE. We worked with Evan because he listened to what we needed and in a very thoughtful/timely fashion.”
- Wanda

“Evan is a pleasure to work with—a terrific guide. We would work with him again to gain more knowledge and expertise.”

- Charlie

“Evan did a fabulous job guiding us through the StoryBrand framework, giving great suggestions and feedback along the way. I really appreciated his patience and understanding during the workshop and his willingness to meet each of our specific needs. He was not there to tell us what to do but instead truly guide us so we could figure it out on our own.”
- Alicia

“In 24 hours I went from “best kept secret” to “go to market! This is so exciting!!”
- Laurie

“KingKooler is a new startup and in our efforts to get up and going we were quite surprised at how unorganized and unresponsive and disorganized people can be… Evan was a GREAT INTERRUPTION to that trend. Evan is very organized, communicates clearly, outlines things succinctly and does everything he says. He offered value at every turn above our agreement. We look forward to working with him more in the future. He will stay in our Address Book and is a vendor we turn back to. Highly Recommend!”
- Kyle

- Jean

“I want to give a public thanks to Evan Cox who walked me through how to do a giving campaign back in March. Evan walked me through how to do it. I’ve done 4 campaigns for this ministry now, and every single one has surpassed their goal.”
- Julie

Hi Evan,
Thank you for your emails. I want to unsubscribe, but I wanted to also make this the nicest unsubscribe message you ever get 🙂

A couple of years ago, I was looking at becoming a StoryBrand consultant, and I looked at a lot of your stuff, even stealing a few ideas, I think.

Since then, I’ve changed my approach and niche quite a lot. That’s why I wanted to unsubscribe, but I did want to commend you for your excellent comms and thank you for being so generous – I agree that giving great value away for free is the best way.
Anyway, perhaps you could unsubscribe me yourself rather than hurt that precious email deliverability score 🙂

All the best!

- Dave

“The brand message workshop was phenomenal. I can’t stop thinking about it. It was such a great exercise!”

- Kaitlin

“Had a meeting with Dan P from Dr. Cool and Dwellness and he was raving again about his experience with you. This has been SUCH a game changer for the clients it’s unreal.”

“Jon and Evan, we are very grateful for the wisdom and perspective you shared with us over the summer and fall. While those conversations covered more than just EOY, they helped shape this year’s segmentation and some key direct mail details. December 2025 yielded the highest giving in a single month-$207,839 (with the exception of 2020 during a special COVID-related campaign). Thank you for partnering with us!”

Thanks so much for everything! It’s really coming together. I am feeling so professional!

- Julie

“I spoke with my web developer yesterday and he was extremely happy with your work. He was able to make a substantial website straight from your work with only minor input from me at the beginning. Being able to take your work and have a third party turn it into a highly functioning and perfectly descriptive website is a very valuable thing.”
- Charlie
