“I have been working with David since February 2011 when we started to create the fabulous Smurf campaign. Besides being a joy to work with he is incredibly smart, communicative and cooperative, emphatetic and always ready to help when needed. I appreciate the way he helped us in all aspects of licencing. Apart from his great performing of regular tasks he was always able to add a lot of his own creativity. Besides his professional skills, I really like him as a person. He is friendly, open, reliable and always smiling.”
