He joined my group as a graduate and within a matter of weeks he was seemingly providing as much value as those who had worked for as many years. Simon was always hugely popular with – and respected by - clients, team members and media owners alike. An incredibly creative strategist, his charisma and influence made him an effective and persuasive advocate for the innovative programs he conceived. It was always obvious that Simon would go on to great things and his subsequent career is a testament to that!" and "I have known Simon since university and even then he was incubating ideas and business opportunities. We reconnected several years later in a work capacity and Simon had lost none of his entrepreneurial drive, but now he has a CV and track record to match. Simon’s knowledge of the media, marketing and advertising landscape is excellent. He has a proven and natural ability to identify commercial sectors and businesses that he can bring positive change to. Simon combines his knowledge and experience with an impressive array of industry contacts and has proved a great ally and support to me in my own business."
