WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

"What makes Chris totally unique is that he has an incredible understanding of so many divergent fields. In this day and age, it is very difficult to find a true expert in design, or in marketing, or in audio. Somehow, Chris wields expertise in all of these areas and knows how to make it work to get results."

- Scott Jacoby, GRAMMY®-winning producer
(Coldplay, John Legend, Vampire Weekend)
Owner, Eusonia Studios

“Of all the creatives I’ve worked with, Duration makes getting things done feel effortless. Sometimes they read our minds, sometimes they surprise us, but in either case their first idea is often a tweak away from the final version. I love both Duration's work and working with them.”

- Alex Oana & Ian Hlatky, Co-Founders, Audio Test Kitchen

"Chris’s communication skills are exceptional. He is so creative, and ideas seem to flow effortlessly out of his brain. He has a stunning eye for photography and solid video production, along with all the other branding and identity elements required to get your company image out there in front of customers. He also backs up his creative contributions with data and empirical insight that produces actual results - not just a pretty face. I’ll admit that I’m biased because Chris is my nephew - and the third generation of music business marketing mavens, starting with his grandfather (my stepfather) who owned Ampeg in the late 1960’s - but I don’t know anyone else in my industry who has displayed such a natural ability to combine all these talents under one roof.”

- EveAnna Manley, President, Manley Laboratories, Inc.

“I trust Chris completely with anything related to business development and branding. He has exceptional taste, fresh ideas and incredible attention to detail. I look forward to every opportunity to work with him.”

- Jim Keller, Founder, SONDHUS

“Working with Chris was not just painless but, I dare say enjoyable! The time it took to move through the process of choosing a logo and website design was blisteringly fast compared to my previous experiences. I attribute this not just to Chris’ design prowess (which is considerable), but to his ability to deeply understand the project itself. He took the time to see what was special about MOXE, and as a result, was able to build something that tells that story to others.”

- Jordan Brooke Hamlin, Musician, Co-Owner, MOXE

“Chris was excellent at translating our aesthetic vision and practical needs into a beautiful, easily-accessible, and functional website. From our initial conversation to launching the site, and everything in-between, Chris was easy to communicate with, efficient in making updates, and made suggestions that improved the look and flow of our site beyond what we thought we wanted. Our website now really feels like a home for our organization and mission, and our entire team is so excited to share it with our community.”

- Jaylene Benggon Chung, Development & Communications Director, Young Storytellers

“Gearspace is always innovating and looking for new ways to help pro audio companies connect to its global audience. Chris is always the first person outside of the company that I like to consult with when we are considering new directions.”

- Jules Standen, Founder, Gearspace.com

“When I needed a website the good folks over at Rupert Neve Designs hooked me up with Chris and he made what I considered to be a daunting task easy and enjoyable. He took what little information I gave him (color and font preference) and designed a web site for me that I couldn’t be happier with. Not to mention his patience and easy-to-work-with demeanor. Thanks for making me look like I know what I’m doing, Chris!”

- Steve Chadie, GRAMMY®-Winning Engineer
(Willie Nelson, Los Lonely Boys)

"We had the opportunity to work with Duration Consulting on our new brand and website, updating our look and feel to reflect the changes within our company. Chris was a true partner in this endeavor, walking us through some difficult decisions, giving us plenty of options, and pushing us to be creative in ways we hadn’t explored. The feedback within the industry has been phenomenal, and speaks to power of the great design and easy flow of our new site - all thanks to Chris and Duration Consulting. I can’t recommend him highly enough."

- Mike Ferguson, Founder, FBHC Advisors

"As our recording studio approached its 10th anniversary and we decided it was time for a new logo, we knew immediately that Chris Dauray was the guy for the job. Chris was so incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable as he walked us through the process, we can't imagine doing this with anyone else. We are thrilled with the end result and would enthusiastically recommend Chris to anyone!"

- Yoli Mara, Co-Owner, Welcome to 1979

“I’ve owned a domain for some 20+ years and never could be happy enough to publish a website... (Really. “under construction” for most of those years.) ...until Chris Dauray worked his magic. I didn’t know what I wanted until I saw what he did. Professional, creative, artistic, hip for today, and easy to use.”

- Gary Hedden, Audio Engineer & Acoustic Designer

"I've known Chris for a few years and have been an early fan of his work for the audio industry. But our company being into B2B retail in the motorcycle apparel market, I brought him a bit of a challenge when I asked him if he would help us brand the company and design its website, logo, and more generally speaking, handle all aspects of its communication. He lived up to it and his approach, understanding of our needs and ability to adapt fast to a completely new market was a blessing. I anticipate that he and Duration will help us grow into this competitive sector for many years to come."

- JB Lierre, Co-Founder, Eunique Ventures, LLC

"Chris Dauray was instrumental in helping me brand the company I worked with, and in creating a sense of legitimacy between the company and the industry. I've worked with Chris for over 5 years and will continue to do so as he has an uncanny ability to figure out the needs of my clients before they do."

- Bridget Gardiner, CEO, Buddha Global
Former Director, SAE Los Angeles

"Chris Dauray is fantastic to work with. He has a wonderful design sense and a keen wit. He is my go-to for help with clever wordplay, and I look forward to working with him more in the future."

- Marsha Vdovin, Advertising / Social Media, Tape Op Magazine

"Chris is always a pleasure to work with. In my many years with RND and FPA, I have come to depend on him for branding, corporate appearance, social media, company messaging, and general industrial and graphical design input. I trust his opinions and advice, and find it essential to our business growth. His easy manner and cheerful demeanor compliment his great depth of knowledge and abilities. I know when I work with Chris the results are going to look and work great, and I don't need to worry about those aspects anymore - it's handled."

- Jonathan Pines, Director of Strategic Operations,
Rupert Neve Designs & Fingerprint Audio

"Working with Chris at Duration Consulting was an absolute pleasure!  His attentiveness to the needs of our organization, thoughtfulness with regard to providing advice, eloquence in his ability to communicate ideas, and talent in his execution of our vision made him an ideal collaborator. Most importantly, I always felt that our organization was in safe hands due to his amicable nature, generosity with his time, and deep commitment to our mission."

- Steve Mazza, Founder, Play It Forward Music, Inc.

"Working with Chris was truly great! Chris completed a project for me which required a creative understanding of my brand, along with an understanding of technological implementation to promote my brand. He was able to execute these tasks beautifully. Chris also had priceless patience to answer any questions I had, and to give excellent recommendations to support the project and our collaboration. I would definitely work with Chris again and would highly recommend working with him."

- Geeta Novotny, Revolution Voice
