Bio
Courtney Summers, MA
Nick is one of those rare Account Service breeds. The ones that know how to build and sustain a strong client relationship while always watching out for the needs of the agency. The ones that can strategically lead an account while keeping up with all the day to day. The ones that can get along with creative! You don't come across them often, these rockstars, but when you do you don't let them go. In our four years of working together, Nick was not only dependable, smart and loyal, he always kept a positive attitude and made sure everyone else did too. He was the cheerleader of the group and the glue and I hope our professional paths cross again some day!
