a few Kind words
‘Max is a brilliant business lead. A true strategic thought partner, combining a real understanding of a client’s needs with a creative eye and commitment to the right creative opportunity. Adept at navigating tricky client dynamics, Max creates the space both internally and externally for the best work to be made.’
James Fraser - Former CSO of Mother NY, Strategy Partner at TBWA\London
‘Max is an absolute legend to work with, he’s an incredible Business Director and partner. Having worked together for years, I couldn’t recommend him enough. He is your right hand man, he not only makes everything run smoothly, but he also truly understood our brand strategy and would always act on our behalf in every situation, fully taking ownership and leadership to ensure that as a client every detail was taken care of and well thought through and considered before you even had to ask! Not only that, he’s a genuinely lovely person and someone you can truly trust.’
Sarah Babb - Marketing Director of Ginsters
'Max is an excellent account lead, whose calmness in the face of challenge, ability to lead both team and client, and judgement around the work is well above his level. He is one of those unusual individuals who is equally valued within the agency for his strategic and creative understanding, as he is by the client. He is also particularly commercially responsible, proactively growing his business and ensuring account profitability (without having to be asked!) I would highly recommend him for any account leadership role - he has a great future ahead of him.'
Larissa Vince - Former CEO of TBWA\London
