testimonials

It is not very often that you describe one person as your colleague, mentor, and close friend. From the moment I met Jennaro during my internship at Landor Associates, however, I knew he would be all three. Since we first shook hands over a year ago, I have found myself inspired by his work ethic and encouraged by his experience. He has been my go-to person to call whenever I face a difficult decision in my career- whether big or small. He is supportive and has motivated me to go above and beyond anywhere I ever expected to be. His drive and expertise in the industry make him an invaluable asset to anyone that aims to succeed. I credit him with where I am right now, and anywhere I might end up in the future.
Genna Bellezza Marketing Associate at HelloFresh
Diligent, smart, conscientious, honest, hard-working, uncomplaining, loyal. Ambitious. Wants to learn, improve, refine and understand. Gets it. Takes criticism well. Willingly and cheerfully creates pitch materials, research, PowerPoint presentations, printed books, door openers, leave behinds, prospect dossiers – even when the team ends up not using them. Never rolls his eyes. Never ever whines. Dependable, trustworthy, stays late, comes early, never says “I can’t”. Accepts the absurd. Makes friends with the studio, the broadcast department and account executives. Sticks to the budget. Quiet, unassuming, humble, grateful. Does not take advantage for his own gain. I’ve worked with Jennaro for 2 years and dread the day I lose him. His particular mix of ability and personality is rare and something valuable in this crazy industry.
Morgan Shorey, SVP Strategic Development at FCB
I had the pleasure of working with Jennaro in the New Business Department at Merkley+Partners. He attacked every project no matter its size or importance with the same tireless enthusiasm. His unwaivering dedication was both inspiring and contagious. I found myself rising to meet him on several levels despite my additional years of experience. In the time we worked together, I watched Jennaro learn and grow at an exponential rate and since his departure from our team, he has continued to exceed expectations in the industry. Jennaro would be a wise and welcome addition to any organization or project team.
Suzanne Glickstein, Presentations Manager at Merkley + Partners
