Suzanne punches out copy at lightening speed. As a designer, I relied on her to give me content well ahead of schedule even though she carries one of the largest workloads among writers. When I was a junior designer/copywriter, she was even willing to take on some of my writing assignments to lighten my load and make sure our team met deadline expectations. Suzanne’s concern for the well-being of her team members left a lasting impression on me. Suzanne also is a walking encyclopedia, the go-to person for historical and pop-culture facts. I appreciate her passion for creating better content paired with a practical knowledge of budget limitations, marketing data and past test results. She openly shares ideas and suggestions for the betterment of our advertising and The Bradford Exchange.
