A FEW BRANDS I'VE WORKED WITH
WHAT MY RECENT COLLEGUES SAY
"Craig is one of the most creative, collaborative and passionate leaders I have had the privilege to work with. He connects with people, whether one on one or in a large group, and his positive energy is infectious. On numerous occasions, Craig and I worked together to take a rough creative concept and develop it into a clear narrative that helped to communicate our strategy, vision and mission. I can’t think of anybody who I’ve more enjoyed working with, and I’d add Craig to any team in a heartbeat. He also plays a mean guitar."
Kip Hallman
WellpathCo-Chairman of the Board
"Craig is the most impressive “marketing” human I have ever encountered. I use quotations around marketing because the value that he brings to the team, our customers, and our business is dramatically understated if he is categorized as simply a marketing expert. Craig is an all around athlete with that Midas touch. He possesses a rare executive presence where he can captivate an audience of thousands or can engage in small groups leaving everyone feeling heard and understood. He is an excellent leader, an unparalleled strategic communicator, and truly the “face of the franchise."
Justin Searle
Wellpath
President, Local Government
"Craig is one of the most capable, creative, and passionate professionals with whom I have ever worked. Craig’s leadership elevated marketing to that of strategic partner. as he shifted effortlessly from assignment to assignment, department to department, bringing clarity and propulsion to each project. He possesses a Zen-like ability to be present with each moment and was equally comfortable partnering with the Chief officers as he was facilitating team and patient interviews. He provided oversight of our communications team that helped define our culture and also respond to external crisis communications.
Jeremy Barr
Wellpath
Recovery Solutions
President
"Craig's creativity is amazing. He naturally thinks outside the box and develops innovative marketing strategies that capture attention and drive results. Craig managed to establish Wellpath as a prominent name brand through his visionary marketing initiatives. Craig excels at building and leading teams. He cultivated a group of individuals who were not only enthusiastic and supportive but also exceptionally competent in their roles. Craig fostered an environment where collaboration thrived, and his team consistently delivered outstanding results."
