TESTIMONIALS

I had the pleasure to work directly with Rob on multiple projects, ranging from print to digital to broadcast. There wasn’t anything Rob couldn’t manage or any challenge Rob couldn’t solve. On any given day, you could find Rob wearing multiple hats: account manager, writer, art buyer, producer, editor, friend, mentor, comedian. He takes his job very seriously and works hard to support his clients and internal team with true dedication.

I have been very lucky to work with Rob over the last two years. He taught me a lot about interacting with clients in various settings by offering advice and many times just through example. Rob also has an excellent eye for detail. He has often had to handle many different clients and projects at a given time, and he consistently offers not just a review of the products, but also additional perspective at a more strategic level. Rob makes a great asset to any account services team, and it was a pleasure working with him!
