Over the past two years, I’ve partnered and worked with Kai on numerous projects, ranging from large scale web builds to documentary films. I enjoy working with Kai as he is very knowledgeable about the digital landscape, trends and technology, and brings a valuable perspective to all projects he works on. From blending his knowledge of trends and research, to brainstorming and creating effective and innovative ideas, I’m constantly impressed by the work he generates and his dedication to deliver the best work possible. Kai is a trusted resource when it comes to creativity and originality. He is constantly looking to improve process, knowledge amongst his peers and stir creativity by thinking outside the box. I’d choose Kai to be on my team any day.

Kai's ability to take creative, strategic campaign ideas and communicate them in a way that creates excitement, not only with clients but with his team, is a great skill that makes getting through the day much easier. I learned a great deal from him, not just about strategic, digital planning, but about office diversity issues and how to invigorate office culture. He's a pleasure to work with and I hope to work with Kai again in the future!

Kai was a critical component to Organic's New York strategy team. Organized, diligent and analytical, he was able to work directly with clients and partners and consistently deliver great insights and presentations. It was great having a colleague who was so smart and self-directed. I'd welcome the opportunity to work with him again.

Kai is highly analytical. You give him a problem and he dives deep into the subject. He is very resourceful in the way he digs for insight and comes with rigorously thought-through, well-written strategies that he articulates effectively.

We hired Kai to identify technology, consumer and cultural trends for a major media client we're re-branding. He was also tasked with developing some innovative opportunities. He rocked it! Even with a quick turn-around time he was able to craft a cohesive, insight-driven presentation that impressed & inspired our team. He led a lively team discussion that generated many forward-thinking ideas and we'll gladly work with him again.

Kai's dedication was second to none. He was a true standout in the Strategy group at Organic consistently delivering top-notch work under pressure (with sometimes ridiculous timelines). I'm sure that our paths will cross again and I'm looking forward to working with him again.

I had the fortunate opportunity to work with Kai on several high-end accounts and new business ventures and was always impressed with what he brought to the table. Kai’s attention to detail, research, resulting insights and presentations make him an indispensible member to a team looking to get an edge on information and approach. Articulate and knowledgeable, Kai gets to the nature of any complex situation and brings great strategy within easy reach. I would gladly work with Kai at anytime and highly recommend his expert services.

I had the fortune of watching Kai grow his clients' businesses for the better part of a year. His blend of insight and rigor is truly inspiring and has had a profound impact on my own approach. I envy the colleagues and clients that await him.

Ryan Parkhurst Source: LinkedIn

Working with Kai proved to be a great experience for me and for our extended team. His vision and knowledge of digital strategy never ceased to amaze me. Kai knows digital inside and out.

Kai's work on our CPG account was truly invaluable. He provided insight and direction at every turn, including but not limited to a major website redesign and a highly successful Facebook campaign. He also continually delivered updates on the competitive landscape, helping to keep our team one step ahead of the game.

Additionally, Kai became a very trusted client resource. His expertise made the clients very comfortable that their digital strategy was moving in the right direction and always in good hands.

Kai will prove to be a great asset to any team that he works with and that team will find itself constantly learning more about digital advertising as well as marketing in general.

It is without any hesitation and doubt that I give Kai my highest recommendation. He is an extremely diligent, intelligent and enthusiastic strategist, a valuable team player. Collaborating with Kai over numerous projects, everything from large website development, to social programs or integrated advertising campaign work, he always delivered intelligent, clear and thought provoking insights which enable the creative team to generate paradigm shifting work. Kai stands tall amongst strategist and planner who care about testing their ideas, assumptions and challenging the status quo. I am confident in saying that he would make the difference in any project he touches.
