TESTIMONIALS

  • I'm a big fan of Tony's. He's a talented marketing executive, universally likable and really committed to getting success for his clients and initiatives. While he was at GumGum, and I was an advisor, he took some time to teach me his approach to brand development and let me in on the plans he created to elevate the companies profile in the ad biz. I was really impressed at the time and later really thrilled to see how well it worked!

  • Tony is the real deal. When we brought him [onboard] we desperately needed someone who could establish our marketing positioning and supply us with a basis for our relevance in the paid search industry. Tony meshed with the executive team immediately, single-handedly took on all marketing responsibilities (before hiring a team) and did everything we needed him to do. Tony has a spirit about him. He spins at a high RPM and consistently maintains a positive attitude. He is one of those guys who is often in the exact right place at the exact right time making the perfect introduction. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again.
