“I would gladly work with Josh again. He’s on the ball, knowledgeable and brings a good energy when the going gets tough–a great person to have on your team.”
Christine Aliferis, Creative Lead/Writer, Digitas (worked directly with Josh at Digitas)
“Having freelanced with agencies both in NY and LA over the last 7yrs I have met a lot of project managers. I can honestly say that Josh is unique, he is able to combine energy and enthusiasm with a quality that sometimes escapes others on the account/management side – calm. Yes Josh is very charismatic when needed for the client, but what I appreciated the most about Josh was his quiet calm. The account we worked together at the time was very intricate, technology driven and stressful. Having his knowledge of the digital space on your team is not only an asset, but a comfort too. And when deadlines are looming and everyone on account and creative goes crazy, as is often the case, trust me you will be glad to have Josh on your side to steady the storm.” -Falene Nurse, Freelance Copywriter, Digitas (worked directly with Josh at Digitas)
“Josh is a smart problem solver who’s a pleasure to work with.

I would happily work with Josh again.” December 21, 2010
Christine Aliferis, Creative Lead/Writer, Digitas (worked directly with Josh at Digitas)
“While Josh and I worked on separate pieces of the Digitas brand, Josh on the client side and me on the corporate side, Josh was involved with the client team that reported directly to the Global CMO. Josh’s commitment to producing quality work, his unflappable focus, and buoyant, positive energy all made him someone with whom people wanted to closely align themselves. Josh has a way of bringing a unique and wide perspective to the table when working on strategies and deliverables to clients in a short period of time. He is efficient – almost to a fault – though, efficiency is what makes Josh the most significant, stand-out person on whichever team he may find himself working. I enjoyed our time together and he is truly missed very, very much at Digitas. Josh is a reliable and crucial asset wherever he may be.”

“Josh brings to the table many skills. He is not only an excellent project manager, diligent and efficient, but is knowledgeable in digital and social media. We worked together on the Samsung account; a global account that comes with cultural challenges. He managed multiple campaigns and partner agencies with ease under pressure. I didn’t see Josh as my project manager but my partner in all things and had full confidence in his capability and performance.” December 15, 2010
