Bio
Rob Blackie
James was an absolute joy to work with. He's smart, fun and reliable. Most importantly he can see the angle to cut through any problem - however complex. I'd be delighted to work with him again.
Anders Kinberg
I miss working with James and look back at our cooperation with fondness. James simply "gets it" and cuts through any jargon and corporate BS to get to the point. More often than not his analysis and insights are slightly uncomfortable as they tend to be disruptive or edgy which is exactly why clients tend to pay us agencies for at the end of the day. James would take no crap from me as the suit on the team if I tried to rush or jump ot conclusions, no matter how inconvenient. But, there was always a good grown up dialogue and his slightly cynical sense of humor is worth the ticket in itself. That's probably what I miss the most!
