Andrew has extensive experience working across major advertisers in categories such as, Retail, Automotive, Insurance, Government, Media and Communications. It gives me great confidence to be able to introduce Andrew to my clients after having previously been a client of Andrew’s myself, I know that his client service capability is exceptional and his media smarts are second to none.”
