Ned’s superb professional qualifications are matched by his strong personal qualities…he has proven to be honest and trustworthy in all my dealings with him. Beyond that he is generous in sharing his time and knowledge and combines a keen intellect with a modest manner and a delightful sense of humor. I am happy to give Ned my highest recommendation.

Hi. My name is Molly Plizga and I have worked with Grey Matter Direct multiple times in the past. They are quite an exceptional team that are very responsive. I have been in the insurance industry, which is an overly complicated multi-tier, individual state platform. They seamlessly constructed and provided for my company an unbelievable user experience for all of our customers. They took something that was from nothing to something that was multi-dimensional that fit every need that we needed for my company. They’re responsive, easygoing, and outstanding to work with, and I regularly turn to them for whatever my needs are for design, SEO search, traffic driving and any other functionality I need in the digital space.

I have worked with Ned Barrett and his company Grey Matter Direct for years now. Ned and his team built my website and manage it and I couldn’t be happier with their work. They’re always available and they’re always helpful so if you’re looking for somebody that’s an expert in digital marketing I’d say get in touch with Ned and his team.
