“Ben has been the creative lead for several of our shopper marketing and product launch initiatives. Working with Ben has been very enjoyable as he brought a genuine passion for our products and the industry to our projects. His interest in music and his ability to fully embrace our mission of pursuing excellence in Sound Quality made him a very valuable partner to us. Under his creative leadership, we developed a series of projects to include "Sound Check", the world's first audio track specifically designed to test headphones for their ability to deliver premium sound quality. Ben is a thoughtful and open-minded creative innovator. It has been a pleasure to work with him.”

“In the three years I worked under Ben at MullenLowe I undoubtedly improved as a creative. His direction is always clear, helpful and above all enhances the work. He constantly encourages those working under him to push ideas further, both conceptually and when it comes to crafting execution. Any campaign created with Ben at the helm will no doubt have been made the best it could possibly have been, with creative boundaries pushed as far as they could possibly go. Work-aside, he is also a really nice guy who takes a genuine interest in his team’s well-being. I hope our paths cross again in the future.”
