RJ and McKay Media Placement

RJ & Makay did not have a newsroom page before we hired Scott Lorenz and now look at it! http://www.rjandmakay.com/newsroom We've been quoted on CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones, CNN Money, Market Watch, Reuters and the Charlotte Business Journal to name a few. The CNBC blog was amazing. I can't believe how much coverage it got. Our YouTube video about Merrill Lynch went from 3900 total views to over 8000 in 48 hours!
