Here are some of the kind words others have said about me. Please feel free to reach out to them directly or I’d be happy to put you in touch.
Brendan is a true marketing professional who I have had the pleasure to work with. He led the corporate marketing and positioning of the Kindsight brand with great success. He creates practical and effective marketing plans that always tie back to an ROI, and is clear in his presentation and delivery of results to the business. He’s also effective at instilling confidence in teams once a direction has been chosen and can handle difficult business scenarios with finesse. I highly recommend Brendan as a marketing and BD executive.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Brendan at Kindsight, where we worked together exactly the way that Marketing (him) and Sales (me) is supposed to work: collaboratively, creatively, constantly refining marketing programs and collateral based on feedback from the market in general and customer engagements. Brendan did a tremendous job developing programs and material that was key to developing prospects into orders, turning both his own ideas and the ideas of the team into winning propositions.

Brendan is the zen master of marketing. He really gets the basics of marketing right, everyone knows the cliches, and some even understand them but Brendan actually practices and applies them. I really enjoyed working with Brendan, and would anyday work with him again. I regularly read his blog dudeitsmarketing.com for my ‘yup that is so true’ moments.

Brendan’s marketing expertise, can do attitude and all round ability to excel meant that he was to ‘go to’ man when the job needed doing right. I would have no hesitation in hiring Brendan should our paths cross again. An asset to any company.

Brendan is by far the only “full blown marketing” professional I have seen in over 20 years of experience. He can cover everything from technical product marketing, market positioning, PR, events and shows, to lead generation/inside sales. He has done the job of at least 4 people with the outmost competency. I wouldn’t consider a new job without him being on the same team.

I worked closely with Brendan on many projects. His focus and experience ensured we delivered our messages to a broad audience with significant result. Brendan is a self contained marketing genius. He has a well rounded sense of lead generation, PR, web marketing, sales tools and other marketing activities making him an enormous asset. I would recommend Brendan without hesitation.

Brendan is the best marketeer that I know <period>. Almost all that I have learned about marketing came from him.He can think outside of the box and come up with innovate ways to get the message out and to get the leads in. He knows how to manage the marketing team and is extremely well respected and well liked.

Brendan was one of the few bosses I can say I had the pleasure of working for. It would be an honour to work with Brendan again! I learned a great deal from him. He has a great work ethic and leads with intelligence, patience, fairness and fun. He provided guidance if needed, but always trusted me and allowed me to expand my boundaries and take on new responsibilities.

I was impressed with Brendan’s ability to both bring pragmatic and creative thinking to Espial’s marketing communications. He demonstrated a very broad-range of skills, strategic and tactical, and in all activities doesn’t shy from rolling up his sleeves. He was a pleasure to work with; straight-forward, competent and dependable.
