“Brad impressed me from day one. I had what we considered a huge project of tremendous importance and Brad needed to be able to marshall his team through an eleven month obstacle course and deliver a world class product at the finish. Of course Brad accomplished this with flying colors. He also was able to keep his good humor and even keel throughout the process. Not only was the project well received and effective we have agreed to move on to two additional phases with Brad and his capable team.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Brad at the launch of Mojave Creative Advertising, the early days. His level of enthusiasm and energetic style of leadership always impressed me, but more importantly motivated and inspired his staff to conceive fresh ideas and develop a new approach to local media in a heavily saturated agency environment. Over the years Brad’s professionalism has become more seasoned, his talent mature, allowing him to continue to break new ground and lead his team to achieve the objectives of their clients without sacrificing the integrity of the concept. During my tenure with Mojave Brad continued to exceeded all expectations, turning this “rookie company” into an award winning agency within it’s first year. Although I have moved on to developed my own career I still have kept in touch with Brad and Mojave over the years and have enjoyed watching this fledging agency under Brad’s leadership become the standard others aspire to in a fiercely competitive market. Good job Brad!”
