Testimonials

Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to work with incredible marketeers, writers, creative directors, data analysts, editors and more, all of whom have helped me refine my professional approach. I’ve also worked with many consumer brands and third party agencies, creating a network that means I can always direct you to a contact I trust and respect. Here are some testimonials from those media partners, clients and fellow travelers.

“Truly intelligent people who can sell -- especially people who can sell creative ideas in this changing media landscape -- are incredibly rare. Tim presents like a consultant, but has fundamentals to close. This is a very rare combo -- trust me, I've interviewed most of what's out there!”

Amanda Hale, Vice President - Partnerships, The Atlantic

“Tim is unusual in being equally steeped in Kristevan literary theory and 90s sitcoms. I’ve watched him hold animated conversations with premier academics and Lebanese farmers, striding with irresistible energy between different worlds and bringing his audience with him. Tim’s intellectual wanderlust and enthusiasm make working with him an absolute pleasure. He never loses sight of commercial goals and quickly brings focused teams together.”

Abigail Fielding-Smith, Deputy Editor of 1843, The Economist

“Tim combines an almost entirely unique combination of attributes: he exudes intelligence, clarity of communication, broad knowledge (of everything!) and charm, as well as commercial acumen. Tim has his finger on the pulse of the publishing industry and is excellent at creative client solutions as well as internal stakeholder management.” 

Renee Dougar, Publisher, London Review of Books

“Tim’s working life has brought him into close proximity with brilliant writers and intellectuals, but his work has been to fund their output with advertising strategies or wholesale re-organization of sometimes arcane institutions into commercial enterprises. He crackles with a mass of eclectic references (Lacanian theory to content verticals) and his own inimitable enthusiasm to get the job done.”
