Perscpectives on how I work, how I think, and how I perform from people I work with, worked for, and consulted to.

“Jeffrey Drake is one of the greatest guys I have worked with in the past 15 years – detail-oriented, charismatic, a team motivator and a great inspiration. His marketing instinct and salesmanship gets great work produced. Creative types will want him on their team.”

         - Jamie Randazzo, Senior Art Director/Designer, Mullen, Toth Branding

 

“Jeff was a pleasure to work with. Solid strategic planning skills, with a keen understanding of the creative process across all mediums. He's someone that I could always count on to positively contribute to the team. Associates and clients were always in good hands, and the business channels managed profitably.”          - Tom Stone, SVP IPG Group Director, Mullen

 

“Are you looking for someone who is savvy marketer, solid strategic planner, insightful brand planner? If this is someone you need, then I'd definitely recommend Jeff Drake. I was always impressed with his acumen for marketing. Get him on your team!”

        - Bruce Jewett, Account Supervisor in my group, Mullen

 

“I worked with Jeff for several years at Bozell Kamstra and found him to be an outstanding employee...especially when it came to developing new business approaches and working with existing clients.”     

       - Dean Buresh, President, Bozell

 

"If that is true, then let's think about this."  I believe that this kind of approach is what impressed me the most about working with Jeff Drake.  His strategic thinking is part of a collaborative process, his production the result of using his ears and his gray matter before he uses his mouth.  The problem with many "strategic" thinkers is that they use only two of the three.  Jeff uses all three, in that order--he listens, he thinks it through, he replies.  Sometimes, it is instantaneous.  Sometimes, it takes some time to think the problem through.  But always, the process is the same.  It is a pleasant discourse the yields positive results. Try it.  You'll notice the difference.    

      - Gerry Hailer, Senior Writer, collegue

 

“Jeff and I have been working together for many years. As a partner he has always made my job easier with his thoughtful insight and his ability to think through problems. I had a mentor many years ago who always said "Bring me solutions to business problems, don't bring me more problems". Well Jeff always delivered on that promise to me and helped us deliver highly focused results for our clients. If this sounds like something you're lacking today, then Jeff is the guy you want to speak with.”    

       - Brian Heil, VP, Creative Director, Partner Hue Brand Group

 

“Jeff is a smart and creative marketer who works tirelessly to make meaningful connections between brands/products/services and their consumers.” 

       - Peter Roveto, VP Advertising, Baybank, colleague

 

“I worked with Jeff at Arnold back in the day, and I highly recommend him for his strategic insight. I came to the business from the public sector and Jeff taught me a lot about the business. He didn't have to, he just did. We worked on several accounts together---I on the PR side, Jeff on advertising. He would support our PR programs even if it meant money out of his budget, because he thought about results instead of turf. He's bright, capable and one of those guys that sees things long before others can see them.”    

      -Jim Conley, PR Director, Arnold
