It was always a true pleasure to work with him.” January 5, 2010 Sophia Dubra Ghiacy Account Manager, Cheil "Alan helped me steer my way with a smile on my face and when the smile was disappearing he was ready to whisk me off to the pub for a "sense-check!"

I enjoyed our time working together at McCanns - Alan is a true professional and a very likable guy to be around!" May 7, 2009 Stuart Watts Designer, McCann Erickson “Alan's a creative heavy-weight.
