I
cannot recommend Jay enough for his marketing and sponsorship development work. I first worked with Jay on a program with Topo Chico to increase brand awareness and advocacy among the music community. I knew he was the best person to go to with his strong influence in the music scene.
Jay played an instrumental role in strategically connecting me with the top musicians in the local area who would be a good fit for the program, all musicians he was already connected with. I was impressed as this included many nationally well-renowned artists & bands as well as local homegrown musicians, exactly who we were trying to reach. I shouldn’t have been surprised though as Jay has the best connections in the local music community. He helped in the flawless execution of the program, which was no easy task in coordinating with a long list of artists.
Jay also helped in connecting me with several key individuals in the music event industry which then led to amazing opportunities at events. Topo Chico would not have been able to develop as many meaningful relationships in the music community if it weren’t for Jay’s work.
Not only was the work Jay did to advance Topo Chico’s initiative critical for success, but he was a joy to work with. I knew I could count on him to deliver with any marketing requests I had and he was always quick to respond, all with a smile on his face. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Jay! - Molly Vimini / Topo Chico / The Coca-Cola Company
Jay was instrumental in helping to drum up additional partnership for our brunch festival. He was quick to understand our festivals needs - specifically that we are very targeted in how we approach sponsorship - and he pinpointed partners that integrated seamlessly and organically into the festival. Jay has a knack for identifying solutions that not only benefit the events he is selling for, but also the partners that choose to participate. Jay understands that relationships are critical, and can be trusted as an extension of your core team. - Sam Minkoff / Sound Excursions / Bacon, Eggs & Kegs
“Jay was the no-brainer for our influencer box project. We had met some years prior as a liaison in placing our brand in touring artists' hands, and he was first to mind as a resource for a culture-influencing network. From concept, to recipient list creation, through implementation and follow-up, Jay was a swift and clear communicator, timeline focused, patient with our internal process, true to our objectives, and a tireless champion of the initiative. These qualities drove the success of our program, but it was Jay's curiosity, creativity and abundant energy that made it *really fun* to do.” - Lena Davidson / Mr. Moxey’s Mints
“Why was Jay a good match for this project? I've worked with him previously on another festival (that kind of wild gig that bonds a team for life) and he brought great ideas and energy to the project and - he is from Philly. Enough said. When I got hired by Bunkhouse to handle the sponsorship team for for Trans-Pecos festival I was about to spend a month plus in the UK ahead of my wedding (thanks immigration office!) and knew I needed someone stateside to drive the project until I was back in Marfa. Jay not only managed the project perfectly - he was also able to bring in his own sponsor dollars. On-site during the festival Jay was quick to lend a hand across other departments while also making sure our clients were happy and obligations were being met.” - Kendall Craig / Sponsorship Coordinator at El Cosmico
