“Ashley is among the best people I’ve ever worked with. Despite the pressure, the volume of work and the non-stop urgent projects, he never changed his team/personal motivating attitude. He always had his office door open to anyone in the team and this is not just a cliché. Apart from his strategic, managing, marketing and advertising skills, he is also one of the best people I’ve ever met. I really learnt a lot working with him.”

“I worked with Ashley whilst he worked in one of Australia’s top advertising agency, LOVE. I was General Manager of domain.com.au, which is one of the fastest-growing real estate portals and is part of Australia’s biggest media group, Fairfax Media. It was a very complex business with very demanding ebitda targets. The recommendations he made were done so with our top line budgetary constraints in mind whilst achieving our growth targets. The specific campaign he worked on grew our audience by 30% year on year and significantly grew brand awareness. This was achieved as Ashley understood our business challenges, needs, and objectives. He was always on call, very personable, and totally trustworthy. From a clients perspective he is undoubtedly the best Group Account Director that I have worked with.”
