“Cheryl Phillips is one of the most incredible women that I have met. She is a single mother of five children, a forward-thinking social media marketing professional and a respected writer for many online publications. Cheryl understands the value of developing her brand based on mission, core values and engaging her stakeholders in her conversations. She is strategic in executing her brand strategy through contemporary communications channels including Linked-In, Facebook, Twitter, Examiner.com and her blog, The Daily Blonde. Unlike most people who attempt to take on another persona and create a character brand, Cheryl is savvy enough to pull it off. The Daily Blonde is a provocative online voice for her multitude of followers. The Daily Blonde is a no-holds-barred dose of reality. The Daily Blonde writes about timely issues and makes them relevant to her readers by weaving topics and trends into the day-to-day lives of her fans. Cheryl Phillips is a trusted online writer for Examiner.com. She covers topics ranging from branding to social media. Anyone or any organization seeking someone who exceeds all expectations should contact The Daily Blonde, err, Cheryl Phillips.” September 16, 2009 Rex Whisman, Founder and Principal, BrandED Consultants Group

“Cheryl Phillips of the Daily Blonde and the Examiner.com is a blogger of note and one who should be followed: With an Alexa rating of approximately 150,000, over 1600 email subscribers and an average “stay” on The Daily Blonde by readers of over 3 minutes. She also spreads the word about her blog to over 16,000+ Twitter followers every day. Cheryl is currently ranked in the top 50 Twitter users and was written up as one of the Top 10 Women on Twitter in the world. “Cheryl is a stay at home mom with more kids than she should be able to deal with and she is cranking out quality blog article posts that bring her an every increasing audience – is there really any reason why you can not do this for yourself or your business? Cheryl Phillips and the Daily Blonde are not just one isolated story of the power of Internet self publishing, she is but one of millions of people who have found notoriety and possible success with social media and blogging”.

Cheryl is a brilliant writer—creative, articulate, insightful, and thought-provoking. Her delivery and written voice is both informative and hilarious… I never miss reading her.” July 20, 2009  Charles Orlando, Author / Writer, The Problem with Women… is Men

“If there is a writer and blogger who is more concise, more insightful and wittier I haven’t come across them yet. Cheryl’s posts can be irreverent and biting at times…and always hit the mark. You are never confused about where she stands or what she stands for! Chery’s research is impeccable and her writing style makes her easy to understand whether she is sharing her observations on the political scene, explaining How To Make The Best Meatballs or creating one of the largest Twitter followings in the world. In short, Cheryl Phillips (aka The Daily Blonde) rocks!” July 5, 2009 Ken Montville, Realtor Extraordinare, RE/MAX Advantage Realty

“Some recommendations are easy to write and some require more thought because you don’t want to miss anything. I’ll be very up front on this. I’m going to miss something. Cheryl is an amazing person with many talents aside from the most obvious of writing. I cannot categorize everything she does that I like so instead here is what sticks out most in my mind. I’ve heard and agree with the thought that the universe is constantly trying to figure itself out. It embeds this desire to know into all of us, which is the reason “why” keeps popping up throughout each of our lives. How a person confronts this word says a lot about who they are and what drives them to their destiny. Cheryl’s destiny is excellence. The delight and laughter her blog and articles bring me is priceless. Then I realize that the sneaky woman snuck in education or enlightenment into the process. I only signed up for the funny! I’ve been had! This is exactly the feeling kids get when they find out their favorite snacks are healthy. Cheryl is not a yes person, unless specifically we are talking about chocolate. Cheryl will write what she thinks and what she has learned and what it makes her feel. I share all of this along with my other fellow readers. It makes me come to the conclusion that Cheryl is one of those nexus people. Without trying (she would beg to differ I’m certain), she finds a subject and makes a call and then the readership turns in the same direction. Blondes get a bad wrap. Yes they have more fun, but in any other market, they get the short end of the stick. Then along came Buffy the Vampire Slayer and then we all start paying attention to blondes. Cheryl has not slain any vampires that she has written about but she has taken on a few giants and some of her own personal demons. Whether it is the evils and utter incompetence that lurk in the heart of some of corporate America or if it is pillars of the corporate success and achievement, she knows what is what. Because she knows, we know. If you are reading this, stop. Talk to Cheryl. Listen to Cheryl. If you are lucky enough, hire Cheryl. Thank me later.” July 6, 2009 John Pruitt, Business Development Manager, MomConnect.com

“I have come to know Cheryl professionally and personally through her work for Mr. Youth as a faculty member for Fishfulthinking. I adore reading her blog www.thedailyblonde.com and can’t say enough good things about her!” July 13, 2009 Top qualities: Expert, High Integrity, CreativeLaura Levitan hired Cheryl as a Brand Ambassador in 2009

“Cheryl is an amazing writer who writes with passion and vigour. I have always liked her writing for her straight-to-the point and flat-on-the-face style. Apart from writing, she is an engaging tweeter. I was greatly moved by a post she wrote about Twitter etiquettes ( http://u.nu/2nv83 ), this post made me a better tweeter.” September 16, 2009 Arun Basil Lal, Editor in Chief, Million Clues!

“Cheryl Phillips has mastered the arts of blogging, connectivity and what is now labeled as “social networking” (and what our mothers and grandmothers called “keeping in touch”). Her writing style is incisive, insightful, and often side-splitting. She has a knack for giving us peeks into her life and surroundings and I firmly believe she channels the spirits of the Algonquin Round Table on cloudy days. A healthy dose of her raw enthusiasm can easily power me through a difficult week.” June 30, 2009 MK (Casey) van Bronkhorst, Owner, Perfectly Shaped World

“Cheryl Phillips is a top notch journalist, and the quality of her work is 1st rate in everything she reports on. From her National Social Media column to her food column, blog and various other news sites, Cheryl has a proven track record to get the job done in record time, and with total accuracy. Her authoritative voice and knowledge of the subject matter is evident in everything she does. Cheryl has more connections than anyone I know of, and is one of the top social media – Twitter, Facebook, etc – experts in the world. Her witty sense of humor on her blog pulls her readers in and keeps them wanting more. Never stopping, she eats, sleeps and breathes social media. No matter what the question or time of day, Cheryl has been more than helpful, always going the extra mile for her readers. In short, Cheryl is an amazing writing machine!” September 16, 2009 Donna Diegel, Providence Food Examiner, Examiner.com
