“Brian is a talented writer which is why we hired him. But I quickly learned he was no introverted scribe. Brian has tremendous communication and interpersonal skills and was unphased when presenting in front of clients 20 years his senior and 5x his pay grade. He has an endless thirst for knowledge and a passion for marketing. To this day, Brian is the guy who will have already evaluated and implemented the latest communications technology and will be able to tell you what is a good tool in your marketing kit and what’s an over-hyped fad and have the metrics to prove it.”
Geoff Dunkak, VP Creative Services, BtB Marketing Communications

“Brian is a stellar PR and communications strategy professional. He is an excellent strategic thinker who clearly understands the tactical requirements (and value) of getting solid press coverage. He manages to deadlines very effectively, understands how to manage both colleagues and superiors, and has a laid-back eloquence that calms even the most chaotic of clients. Brian’s a true gem.”

“I met Brian socially yet quickly figured out that he was a marketing dynamo. Just having lunch with him leads to new opportunities to be explored.
When I decided to bring MediaLeaders to Raleigh, Brian was my go-to guy. I knew he had years of experience and contacts galore.
Brian has the ability to see far down the path while you’re just getting started which allows you to focus on what’s most important early on.
There’s only a handful of people I would go to starting a new marketing push, and Brian is at the head of the pack.”
Phil Buckley, Raleigh, NC Organizer, Media Leaders
was with another company when working with Brian at Zencos
“Brian created the Triangle AMA’s social media communications program from scratch. He conducted the research, created our plan and has implemented most of the social media outreach on behalf of the chapter. Thanks to his efforts we have been able to drive event attendance, membership and foster a sense of community among marketers in our region.
Brian has a great ability to zero in on what needs to get done and the talent to pull it all together to deliver results for our organization.”
Karen Albritton, President, Capstrat
was with another company when working with Brian at Triangle Chapter of American Marketing Association
“Innovative, spirited, creative, and dedicated are but only a few words I could use to describe Brian’s personality and contributions to the Triangle AMA Board. Believe me, there are many others! In my year of working with Brian, he has opened the Chapter’s gate to the social media realm. He developed a blog that will rival anything an entire marcom department could provide a company. He maintains many of our e-touchpoints with our community and never hesitates in offering a helping hand with other endeavors. His efforts have provided some seriously rockin’ measurable results. Our website traffic is up, our luncheon numbers are up, and our community is more engaged with our Chapter leaders. Anyone wise enough to work with or hire Brian will see amazing feats accomplished. Mark my words.”
