(Just for creative exercise, I'm also a commercial advertising and fashion photographer/artist)

Leading an RFP Process to Search & Hire Agencies

I'm the creator of original and most downloaded RFP guide available. I originally wrote this guide a few years back and it was so popular and well received in the industry, that it's pretty much become the most turned-to source for RFP advice.

Tony's experiences were very helpful to understand the gap between speaking to tactics with clients and shifting towards strategy. This conversation has given me insights into what's next and immediate actions we can take to become more successful. Thank you Tony!

Tony is the master of proposal writing. He knows his stuff and is really good at finding problems and introducing solutions. We only had a 30 minute discussion about proposal writing, but he gave me hours worth of valuable information. If you want to get better at writing proposals that close deals, then contact Tony and he will make you a master.

Tony is a fun guy to have around the office. His knowledge and passion for all things digital is shown through everything he does in his work. Combine that with his other creative channels (i.e. photography) and you have a person who would be highly valuable to any organization.

Tony just doesn't open doors, he closes deals. He is a great business development lead with a deep understanding of the ever-changing digital and social media landscape. He listens, educates you and customizes the right solution for you. He's always in touch with the latest trends and understands how to apply them to your communications challenges.

At the end of the day, you want to work with smart people who you trust and know will get the job done. This is what Tony is all about.

Tony played a critical role at Engauge as well as at Spunlogic, which was a predecessor firm that later became Engauge. Over the years Tony has added significant value to our company through striking new relationships with firms that became major clients due to his efforts. Tony has the skills and knowledge to navigate new business efforts that span RFP driven opportunities as well as organic opportunities. This is a rare talent since most people excel at one or the other but not both.

His ability to get first meetings, as well as be considered a trusted advisor, and not just a door opener, is his greatest talent. He "gets" the business of interactive marketing, and has worked alongside me over the years to tune both proposals and plans to keep the clients' best interests in mind to achieve their marketing goals. He has a passion for technology, and is skilled in the art world as well through his photography background. This blending of creativity and technology is a rare, and valuable skillset.

I have worked with Tony for years on my TV show and on other projects. Not only does he have an acute quality to finish projects on time while maintaining top quality standards, but he also brings so much more to the table with a natural passion and drive to create the ultimate results. Tony would be great part of any project.

Tony doesn't just bring expertise in every aspect of a project, he also brings enthusiasm as well as out of the box creativity. He always has incredibly useful information that is relevant to the task at hand. Time is money and Tony will not waste your time.

I worked with Tony on channel sales and strategies. Through my work and conversations with Tony, I always found him to be collaborative, energetic and insightful. Tony was always thinking about we could tailor our offerings to provide clients with a unique and differentiated solution.

I hope to be able to again work with Tony and would recommend him to other organizations.
