Patrick Boehnen
Brad has proven time and time again to be an extremely important player on the Senco Brands team both from a sales and a marketing perspective. Brad moved from a very successful sales position, where he was consistently overdriving his numbers year over year, to the Marketing Department in order to leverage his skills and knowledge to drive the Senco brand even further. Brad's creativity, attention to detail and graphic design skills made him the perfect fit to manages our Marketing Communications Department. Brad was able to take on very large projects and bring them to conclusion on time and with in budget. He completely re-designed and administered our cooperative advertising program, which included much needed approvals and audits, saving the company and untold thousands. Brad is also a skilled graphic designer and was able to jump in where needed to help our internal graphics with the creative as well as proofing design, text and layout. I would certainly recommend Brad to any company looking for a highly skilled, determined and passionate person for either their sales and / or marketing team.
