Testimonial
"To me John's strength hasn't just been in the ultimate cutting-edge products he has produced for us but more importantly his process of immersing our teams to fully understand the purpose and goal of the asset or campaign, the message and the audience.
From redesigning our web sites to creating an industry 1st with our desktop reservation app, he's always seeking the strongest opportunity in the space we are trying to penetrate or impact."
Steve Pinetti, VP Sales & Marketing, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants
