Reccomendations

Matt Wilson

VP of Sales Enablement and Marketplace Development | AWS Global Practice Leader

I recommend Andrew Bloo for any marketing leadership role. I worked with Andrew on several marketing campaigns that he help drive from concept to implementation that yielded notable results. Beyond his technical expertise, he was an valuable team member sharing insights from past experiences that greatly enriched our understanding of the target market. His blend of professional technical knowledge and insightful marketing skills make him an exemplary candidate for any marketing-centric position.

Debbie Agnew

Red Bee Press – Owner

Andrew has excellent business instincts and knowledge of our market. He has the experience and insight to set up a business for success. He approaches his work with enthusiasm, positive energy, and dedication. It has been a pleasure to work together over the last year and hope to continue for many years to come.

Patrick Taylor

Architect at Colony Builders, INC.

Andrew is not only a great leader, but an exceptional mentor. I had the pleasure of working with Andrew for 15 months. In that time, he bridged his background of sales and marketing into a design department that greatly needed a creative boost. With his knowledge and experience in business, I was lucky enough to work alongside him to present a fresh and modern product to our clients. Andrews expertise in mentorship and team building would be an incredible asset to any company.

Lawrence Stanley

Founder and CEO – CARDIAC MEDICAL SERVICES, INC.

There are many different types of experienced leaders who provide value. While most good leaders are intelligent, determined, and visionary, great leaders like Andrew are also self-aware, motivating, empathetic, and socially skilled to deliver the highest level of marketing and technology expertise.

During a critical period when technology and concept were becoming static, we were able to minimize touch-points and redirect our team without disrupting marketing flow or having to redefine our target audience. Andrew provided the foundation for our revised direction while instilling confidence in our team to accomplish what seemed at the moment a less desirable product.

I would not hesitate jumping into any complex and challenging initiative knowing that Andrew is providing the steady hand and guidance with our marketing and technology efforts.

Barb Bidan

CHRO/CPO • Global HR & Talent Leader

I had the pleasure of working with Andrew during my time at ALT Software. Andrew is an open and transparent communicator, which made my interation with him positive, productive, and enjoyable (since Andrew also has a good sense of humour)! I recall a specific occasion where Andrew took some time with me to explain his company’s technology — this is something that never goes unappreciated by someone working in an HR partner role, but, what I appreciated most is that Andrew shared because he really ‘got’ the benefits of partnering with HR in the truest way. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Andrew again in the future!

Matt Tarkenton

President of Tarkenton Financial | Inspiring business leader

I have worked with Andrew Bloo on various initiatives at The Tarkenton Companies. I have always been impressed with his communication skills, intelligence, and ability to get things done quickly and effectively. He has great expertise in internet marketing and related fields. In particular, he has a unique blend of technical skills and strong marketing insticts, which have enabled him to effectively perform in multiple areas at our company.

His primary focus has been building online traffic for various offerings within OneMoreCustomer.com. He also has had strong insight into our web portals at Tarkenton Financial – how to build traffic on our site, maximize email marketing campaigns and build our online brand.

It can be challenging to work in a remote location, which Andrew has done with The Tarkenton Companies. But, he has great skills in technology and marketing, strong intelligence, superior people skills; and has been able to overcome the challenges of working remotely with flying colors. Andrew Bloo has outstanding marketing and technology skills, is a “can do” person, and demonstrates great leadership and people skills. I highly recommend Andrew’s work!

    More than work.
    Were Building a Future.
