RECOMMENDATIONS

 

“Marc and I worked together as a well-oiled creative machine at Baker Street Advertising from 2000-08, and I have nothing but great things to say about him. Marc is a truly creative Art Director--both conceptual and executional, is excellent with clients and co-workers, persuasive in meetings, and extremely easy to work with. No matter what task

you give him, he will exceed your expectations.”

 

                           Bob Dorfman, EVP, Executive Creative Director, Baker Street Advertising

 

“Beyond his inventiveness, demanding standards and insightful strategic chops, Marc has one other claim to fame: he’s an alumnus in good standing of one of the most distinguished collection of creative advertising professionals ever assembled in one agency at any one time. I’m referring to the eclectics at FCB/San Francisco who created legendary work for clients like Levis, Dole, C&H Sugar, Clorox. Marc’s work then and now holds its head high in the best of company. He’s a go-to art director that you call on consistently for unique, creative and always effective work.”

 

                           Jef Loeb, Principal and Executive Creative Director, Brainchild Creative

 

“It’s difficult to write a brief recommendation for Marc because he does so many things well. He’s very strong conceptually, has finely-tuned design sensibilities, excellent communication and presentation skills, and a great

sense of humor. One of the tricks to longevity in this business is to work with people who make you look good.

Marc will do that for you and for your business.”

 

                           Chuck Guest, Creative Director, Prime Chuck Creative

 

“Marc is a very versatile art director/creative director. Plus he is great to work with. I have seen him turn even a seemingly mundane project into greatness. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for great art direction.”

 

                           Charlie McQuilkin, Senior Vice President, Group Creative Director, Young & Rubicam SF

 

“I worked with Marc for over four years and I was always impressed with his creativity, strategic insights and enthusiasm. Marc is a great listener and also an excellent collaborator, internally and with clients. Committed to strong, integrated work across all channels, Marc is a problem-solver and creative leader. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Marc again.”
