Bio
Paul Clancy
Dan's relationship-building skills are rare because his skills are centered around both performance and world-class service. As a client of Dan for over a decade, he always brought new, meaningful digital audio ideas to my team. Any professional advertising team would be lucky to have Dan on their crew.
Paul Murray
I’ll start by echoing all that has been said about Dan in prior recommendations. He more than checks the box on everything others have written on leadership, mentoring, sales expertise and his love and depth of understanding the world of audio. To go beyond that, I’ll share an example of Dan’s customer-orientation. When we recommended moving our clients from making direct buys to programmatic buys on Pandora, Dan was very supportive of this change. He led his team through what was a complex transition that required education and trouble-shooting to create a seamless transition for our clients.
