ANDRYL Testimonials
I have just attended a conference where Andrew presented on social media and emerging technologies. I have to say that I have never been to more informative presentations. Andrew presents in such a way that if you are just a beginner, or have already started dabbling, there is a lot for you to take away. Andrew displays talents in many areas. He thinks and plans strategically as well as having good attention to detail. Andrew Pitchford is a consummate professional, always cordial, always thoughtful, patient, with a unique sense of humour. Andrew is able to grasp complex issues quickly and begins to formulate a practical application almost immediately. His biggest asset is his ability to think long term and create strategies that become new benchmarks for success. I have high respect for Andrew’s work and leadership in technology and social media strategies for UCB International. He was very instrumental in my professional development in this field. He is years ahead in strategic planning for the social media industry. It will be no surprise to me if he keynotes future national conventions. He is a true visionary. His creative, ‘think-outside-the-box’ approach keeps him ahead of the game, and even sometimes, re-writing the game, if that’ll get him and his team the results they needs. Andrew is a good combination of Visionary and Operational perspectives and as such, is ideal for getting ideas off the ground, getting past initial inertia and doing so sustainably. Andrew was one of the speakers at the Christian Media Conference in 2011 and ran workshops on social media for business. He was the clearest and most accomplished speaker on this subject I have ever heard. Andrew’s obvious expertise in social media is matched by excellent communication skills. Andrew is dedicated to the task of keeping up with new media. A challenge and a half, and yet he always is on the case and is always the first person to be approached or referred to when it comes to new media. Andrew has a gift in being able to recognise and apply relevant developments and communicate these to those around him and others around the world, adapting his message to suit any audience. In this way, for me, he is someone whose judgement I trust and can rely upon. Andrew is multi faceted in his abilities and very much a hands on operator from broadcasting, sales, desktop publishing, and he’s on the mark when it comes to information technology leading the way for other to follow.
