Bio
Devin Johnson
Alexander Barron was a key element to the success of our social media marketing team. Through careful consideration and a lot of industry research, Alexander developed impactful and efficient marketing strategies that blew results out of the water. Alexander is a problem solver. He brings a positive and upbeat energy to the workplace in the face of challenges. With tangible results and client happiness as his top priorities, Alexander is always thinking of the next steps. In terms of building trust within professional relationships with clients, he makes connections like no other. I’ve seen clients call him out of the blue just to offer to buy him lunch. As the account executive and face of our team, he fostered an environment of collaboration and growth. He was always eager to find anything and everything to aid in individual success. Overall he is a pleasure to work with and a valuable resource to any team.
Robert McRae
A teacher at heart, Alexander is always willing to take the time to help others both on and off his own team. His main wish is to be supportive of those around him and see his team and accounts succeed. Alexander's brand of excellence becomes evident when you need to have hard but empathetic conversations with external stakeholders. He can have those hard conversations, readjust expectations, and communicate the outcomes of those to both internal and external stakeholders. Alexander is well suited to any role where he needs to make a human connection and make others feel supported in their investment or role. It is in the best interest of any company or organization to hire Alexander; it is their unequivocal loss if they lose him.
