Bio
Paul T.
Adam was an absolute pleasure to work with. His broad knowledge of marketing/digital marketing & the hospitality general as a whole made our work 100x easier. Would HIGHLY recommend you team up with Adam if you're looking to achieve any kind of uplift on an operations/marketing level.
Delphine Armitage (Girard)
Adam was one of my first managers and has taught me a lot about being part of a driven and dynamic team. Being in sales, he was very focused on delivering results, but also taught the team how to work together more effectively. He was able to pick out the strengths of each team member and delegate different tasks accordingly. He was great at building my confidence (especially as I had just moved to England at the time), and I credit him for the job in Marketing in a top consulting firm I was able to get afterwards.
