Ben Smith

Purple Agency

Judges Comments

The client accounts and brands speak volumes. This is a person whose profile I’ve read and whose video I’ve watched, and I’ve ended up thinking, I’m worried about this talent (from a competitor standpoint). He’s good, he’s got energy and he will make a difference.

Ben gave the impression of being very vibrant, a good laugh, and having really great ideas. The increase in business of 140% was an impressive measure of ability and, overall, he looks like a great energy to bring to this industry.

Best submission of all entries — I liked the inclusion of percentage growth figures, as well as client and agency quotes. I felt that Ben was the strongest entry in the category.

Highly Commended
