“I have worked with Tony for years on my TV show and on other projects. Not only does he have an acute quality to finish projects on time while maintaining top quality standards, but he also brings so much more to the table with a natural passion and drive to create the ultimate results. Tony would be great part of any project.”

Hugh Robinson, CEO Crescent Moon Production

“If you are looking for someone who is truly passionate about business development and is an incredible "closer" in the digital marketing arena, look no further than Tony. Traditional business development "hunters" rely on antiquated methods to get in front of decision makers. Not Tony. Tony presents digital solution scenarios to C-level executives as a means of getting them to open up about their issues and talk about what they really are looking to accomplish with their overall marketing and branding campaigns. Tony actually listens and documents the pain points for each individual prospect or client and then works with his colleagues to formulate the right approach to win the business. For Tony, it is not about sitting back and waiting on RFPs; it is about accelerating the conversation and creating opportunities that drive toward closing the deals - which is why I can't wait to work with him again!”

PJ Walker, Client Services Director Organic

"Tony is a great person to have on your team! He has a deep passion for interactive marketing, and he shares his passion with both colleagues and clients. One of my favorite qualities about Tony is his intellectual curiosity that keeps him constantly abreast of the latest trends in digital marketing. From a sales perspective, he is very tenacious, but he also focuses on adding value to every interaction with a potential client. Tony is a team player who makes everyone around him better. I highly recommend Tony, and look forward to watching as his career continues to blossom."
