“I had the pleasure of working with Scott for many years at Akquracy, where he led the agency. Scott's a true creative visionary, demonstrating an unparalleled ability to think outside the box and generate fresh, innovative ideas. He is not afraid to push boundaries and challenge conventions, which has resulted in groundbreaking campaigns. Scott is an incredibly passionate and driven individual. He is always striving to achieve the best possible results, and he has a knack for inspiring and motivating his team to reach their full potential. However, his bluntness and honesty are also his greatest strengths. He is always upfront and transparent, and he never sugarcoats the truth. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a creative partner who is not afraid to push boundaries and achieve the impossible.”
