Aggressive media & marketing
Ed Weiner - Our CEO is our big-idea guy. There's an element of inspiration in every campaign he creates. He's the first to arrive at the office and usually the last to leave; and he can't help treating every client as if they are the only client. It doesn't hurt that nothing engages Ed's competitive spirit more strongly than negotiating media. Ed never fails to demonstrate his commitment to innovation and ingenious solutions for client problems, there's a creative twist to everything he does; his enthusiasm for marketing and media is always in evidence.
