“One of my very favorite creative partners. He's in this game for the love of the problem solving and is generous with his time and his counsel to his teams. It was remarkable to see how much his teams responded to his direction and instincts and came back with better work every time. His instincts are great and his track record speaks volumes. I only had a short run with Kurt, but damn it was a lot of fun. One of the true masters of the business; sign him up if you can. ”
