Kate Adams
On interviewing James it was clear that his vivacious personality was a perfect fit for our company and perfect for the creative environment. James' commitment to the agency and his client's business are second to none and he always gave 110% to his work. By the time James left GyroHSR he was running several accounts in the industry sector and had built strong client relationships. James' strengths lie in his ability to take a client problem, turn it on it's head and provide fresh thinking, simplifying communications to reach the audience succinctly and to great effect. James' organisational and project management skills are excellent and he championed many internal processes which have made us more efficient as an agency.
