Karlyn Smith

Having worked with Toby for just over 3 years while at 360i/Dentsu America, I can say with certainty that he is a great manager and most importantly, the epitome of a team player. He’s the kind of person that truly sees himself as an equal to his team and is always willing to help out, even when it comes to the most menial of tasks. The experience I gained under Toby was extremely valuable, as I learned the fundamentals of cinema as well as radio advertising, while increasing my prior knowledge of national & local TV planning/buying. With Toby’s leadership and mentoring, I saw myself rise up the ranks and promoted on multiple occasions. His penchant for networking and industry relationships are unmatched, which was a significant asset during negotiations. Working under Toby at the stage in my career that I did, it helped me to expand my level of knowledge and set me on a path to excel in the world of advertising.

It was fantastic working with Toby. In our three years working at Starcom, I noticed substantial growth in both his leadership and business skills. He is a straight shooter who will give you the facts, not the spin. We collaborated on several projects together. Toby exceeded every goal we set, making it look easy. Toby is forward thinking and has a can-do attitude. No matter how challenging situations become, Toby is a calming force that makes everyone smile. Not only is he an expert in video media, but clients, sales reps and his team love him. This inspires his direct reports and his peers. He is an asset to any team.
