"When it comes to design, there's a big difference between a graphic designer and a senior art director, like Mark. We know he will bring us design solutions that are well considered, creative and most importantly, fresh. He is able to translate those designs across platforms and tailor them to the media. He's an adult in the room and makes us look better than we should."

“Mark's LinkedIn profile states he is a creative director with an art director pedigree, but he left something out: Strategic thinker. I've worked with him on two client engagements in the last year and was quite impressed with his strategic acumen and grasp of attitudinal research and positioning based on the data. More importantly, he has shown a rare ability to synthesize customer insights into clear creative and messaging that is spot on with the research outcomes and makes you stop and pay attention. While I've worked with many good creative directors through the years, I often found myself frustrated with the resultant gap between creative execution and brand positioning based on consumer insights. With Mark, you never had to worry about that.”

“Mark has quickly become not just a freelance designer we work with, but I think of him as an extension of our team. Most recently he joined us for a 3-month contract, helping us through a very intensive rebrand of hundreds of sales and marketing materials. He not only delivers consistent and high-quality work, but he is organized, flexible, and works with urgency and efficiency. Mark is the kind of designer you can come to with a challenge, and he has the solution. In short, he’s what you look for in a creative partner.”

“Eimer creative gets it, and gets it quickly. Why? Because Mark listens well and asks all the right questions up front. Before he starts to ideate and push pixels around the screen, Mark commits himself to finding the nugget of an insight to 1) define the problem to solve and 2) launch himself towards a creative territory which will result in a solid solution. Great designer? Yes. Great thinker? Yes. Reliable and accountable? Yep. A pleasure to work with? You bet. ”

“Concepting and thinking differentiate Mark from others. He is definitely not a one-trick fits all creative. He understands and can express the strategy in a distinct and salient way; one that is creative and an expression of the strategy.”

“I’ve worked with talented creative nationwide and here’s what I’ve learned from working with Mark: geographic boundaries and layers of agency staff don’t matter at all. Great creative is defined by insight, a passion to succeed and the ability to visualize the unexpected. Talent doesn’t hurt, either, and Mark has it in spades.”
