"Jim has made several significant improvements with respect to our overall creative quality and process. Jim has managed several creative oriented associates that are both full time employees as well as long standing freelancers very effectively. He has managed to lead a team that is improved our overall quality and creative but more specifically in areas of creative that are strategically important. Our photography has improved as a whole and we now have the beginnings of a solid foundation of "signature" images that are unique to United. Additionally we are gaining more from our photography efforts and spending less. Key vertical focus areas such as the Stuff for Your School Catalog and some of our targeted fliers have received an entire facelift and are more compelling and more persuasive directly due to Jim's leadership and energy. Jim continues to be a very valuable asset to the company and has been recognized for his experience knowledge and easy going style."
