Brad Bernard is one of the most intelligent digital marketing executives that I have had the pleasure to work with thus far in my career. He is solely responsible for building one of the smartest, toughest, most hard working teams I have met in the digital ecosystem. Brad challenges every partner and vendor that Harmelin works with to bring as much to the table for his clients as he prides himself on doing personally. If anyone reading this recommendation would like to personally speak to me about Brad Bernard, I would be honored to discuss his best in class personality and reputation.

Brad is one of the most intelligent, intuitive and creative thinkers I've met. I've had the pleasure of working with him via industry activities and panels as well as part of the Philadelphia Digital Leaders group. From discussing digital strategies and technology to management approaches and pop culture, Brad's views are both informed and interesting. An excellent speaker and conversationalist, Brad's passion is always evident -- and infectious!
