“The best thing about Anthony is that he either gets an idea right away or keeps asking questions until he really does. Yes he has great creative skills and vision but his real strength is figuring out what you want, even if you don't know! I would recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a very talented and personable creative person.”
Rich Collins
CEO/Big Tent Entertainment
“Anthony brings a rare combination of great creative and a results-oriented approach. Also, known to throw a few jokes out every now and then.”
Holly Ricci
Copy Supervisor, DraftFCB
“I always think of Anthony as the "go to" guy whenever strategic, high-concept work is needed. He never fails to come up with original, well-thought-out ideas that meet the needs of our clients and our brands. And he does it fast. Fabulous presenter as well. Highly recommended!”
Connie Maloy
VP, Group Account Director, CDMi Connect
“Anthony is a great creative leader. He is a strategic thinker and a dynamic presenter. He gets his clients and colleagues excited, and behind the work. Anthony's creative approach is always driven by strong consumer insights while keeping an eye on the objective of the work, whether it be brand awareness or inciting a specific action. Over the 8 years that I worked with Anthony at Merkley, I could always count on him to push the thinking beyond the expected.”
Joan Daidone
Executive Creative Director - I2i Communications, Omnicom
“I've had the pleasure of hiring and working with Anthony at several agencies, first as an Art Director, and most recently as an ACD. Anthony is a double threat because he's not only a highly conceptual Art Director, but he also a smart, quick and witty writer. Great with a line or a script. He's also great at winning over clients with his humor and engaging presentation style.”
Karen Heller
Senior Vice President, Creative Director

“Anthony has that rare combination of great design talent, high conceptual thinking and smart strategic insight that makes him invaluable to any client's business. He has been a great help at both bringing in new business and growing existing business. Anthony would be a great asset to any project.”
