Bio
Michele Palazzolo
I worked with Jim for several years, with him leading the creative side while I led the client services side across multiple accounts. I can say without a doubt, Jim is the epitome of a team player. He was always willing to jump in and tackle any task – large or small. Jim has a great deal of understanding and respect for clients’ needs and their brands and would deliver creative that was on strategy and engaging. In addition to Jim’s creative skills, he is a great project manager; which is truly an asset in a high-volume, fast-paced workplace. Jim forged great relationships with co-workers and clients, whether at meetings, via conference calls or traveling for lengthy photo and video shoots. He was always a pleasure to have around. Jim would be a valuable asset for any team.

He works efficiently and honors project timelines and due dates, he is totally dependable and accountable. Jim is a strong team player and fosters a positive work environment for all. He is a great guy and will be a great addition to any team.
