"I attended your seminar a few months ago and just wanted to let you know how inspiring I found it to be. And I mean literally inspiring. Listening to you inspired an idea that, after months of blood, sweat and integrated teamwork, became a reality and has gotten a huge response. So, thanks again."
Chris Corley, Group Creative Director, Bernstein-Rein
"I found this to be a highly insightful and engaging presentation that validates some of the moves we are making as an agency and may serve as a wake-up call to those who haven’t begun the process."

"Our work with Ignition has been different from other consultancies. Most of the work we have done together has stuck, has become part of our culture, and is being practiced regularly. There are a couple of reasons why that's true. First, what you say makes an enormous amount of sense. Second, the way you say it has immense credibility."
Joe Norris, Former President, Sullivan Higdon & Sink
"I’ve been to my fair share of seminars. Yours, I’d have to say, was one of the best I’ve been to. I found myself relating to many of the scenarios you presented, and perhaps more importantly, aspiring to put into place many of the implications you outlined. It was a truly fascinating seminar..."
Nancy Bistritz, Director of Marketing, Nurun
"Finally an advertising workshop with completely current and relevant information that really dives into the application of the ideas."
Sylvia Prentice, McKinnon Calderwood Advertising
"Loved Agency 2.5, as did everyone I know who attended. Fantastic work, thank you!"

"A sharp look at the cratering landscape agencies face today. Tim’s presentation is an idea-generating carousel of strategies agencies need to succeed."
Jim Cronin, BCA Marketing Communications
"Ignition presents a “no holds barred” look at the future of the advertising agency business. Tim not only provokes thought but offers actionable ideas about how agencies can adapt in our rapidly changing environment – remaining relevant and valuable to clients, and ultimately securing our own future."
Sue Butler, Butler/Till
"Positioning for Professionals probes dimensions of differentiation that will make you think twice – what may seem natural to do in creating a strong position for your brand, may actually work against it. The book will help you think differently – and be more effective by going against your instincts."
Scott Morgan, President, Brunner
"You were the top-rated session at our recent conference. Thanks for your thought-leadership and your very significant contribution to the conference."
Bill Duggan, Executive V.P., Association of National Advertisers
