What Others Say

Ann Marie is a rock star! She not only has an impeccable creative judgment, but she also has a keen customer and social/cultural sensitivity that makes her an invaluable asset to any  production. Ann Marie knows how to analyze data, develop a strategy,  write a brief, and guide it through every phase of production across all  channels (video, digital, social, OOH) so that the work product yields  exceptional results. She is a fantastic brand steward, a great team  player, knows how to engage celebratory talent, and manages budgets to  the penny! 

~John Harrobin, EVP Consumer: Frontier Communication | former CMO: Audible

She was always a bright spot. When it came to creative, Ann Marie always maintained a clear north star and could easily communicate that north star, both internally and externally to agencies and production partners. Regardless of the project, she was always equal parts brand  marketer, diplomat, and producer - always making sure everyone was positively aligned, and adept at creating an environment where the best work could be executed. 

~Thom Cordner, Creative Director/Copywriter | former Creative Director: Audible

Ann Marie is an ace. Overseeing countless different operations and people in a creative unit, she has a job I  don't think many people could handle.  But she manages to keep things running smoothly. She designed a creative brief system that's far beyond those I've seen anywhere else.
As an independent contractor, I have a chance to experience all different networks and their promo departments and let me tell you: in terms of organization and internal communication, none measure up to [hers] I'd credit Ann Marie in huge part for that. She also gives great creative input - something that doesn't normally come  in the same package with organizational leadership. It makes a huge difference to have someone who understands the humor and artistic  direction making decisions about what needs to be done and by whom. 

~Laura Belgray, Writer/Author | former Writer: ViacomCBS

Diligent. Dedicated. Knowledgable. Focused. Committed. Ann Marie is a force of nature who simply never gives up or phones it in. She's one of the rare individuals that you never need to push or motivate. She ALWAYS goes the extra mile to ensure the work she delivers is the absolute best it can be. If there's ridiculous deadline to be met or a new challenge with no existing blueprint to be achieved, she will figure it out. And she'll do it with grace and good humor. During our time together at Audible, she consistently juggled multiple concurrent projects and never dropped a ball. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. 

~Barbara Ward Thall, Screenwriter/Storyteller | former Global SVP Brand Creative: Audible

Ann Marie is great at what she does, and works harder at it than anyone I know.  I’ve worked with her for several years  in audio post, and I could tell the first time we worked together that she was experienced, knew what she wanted, and knew how to get it.  She has a great ear for talent; she knows how to choose the right voice for the project, and how to direct them to clearly, and effectively deliver the intended message. Sometimes a script communicates differently when read aloud than it does on paper. I’ve seen Ann Marie solve this kind of issue by simply directing the talent to deliver a line differently, or by making copy edits on the fly. Neither of those solutions are ever as simple as they may sound, but she handles them effortlessly. She is also excellent at directing and making tasteful music choices for a given project. Whether it be guiding a composer through an original  piece, or selecting a compelling piece of stock music, she makes sure that the music always serves the story. Audio post is just a small part of what Ann Marie does, but if the experience, creativity, intelligence  and work ethic that I’ve seen her apply in audio post are any indication, I’m certain that she excels in every aspect of production.

Ann Marie has consulted with us through her consulting practice. We’ve known Ann Marie previous to her work at Click 3X as a smart, highly organized leader with a deep knowledge of the broadcast industry. She has a fierce work ethic and impressively took to expanding her knowledge and expertise way beyond broadcast into digital marketing.

She has amazing relationships within the entertainment, advertising, and Creative industry and always makes it a point to understand the company’s vision, mission, goals, products and services to represent the brand’s voice and personality.
