ANDRYL Testimonials
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. Andrew has media in his blood and works hard to create successful opportunities for his clients and his colleagues. He is 100% interested in only presenting the very best in project quality and greatly values his professional relationships. Andrew is a technology futurist – although that is not officially his title! If you want a glimpse on what is going to take place in technology over the next 2 years and what to do about it, Andrew is your man! He is very knowledgeable in all his work, especially things web related. From a graphic designers point of view, he is the sort of leader that you need, not just for ideas, not just for structure, but for those final decisions that also need to be made. Andrew has a keen grasp of emerging technology and the vision for how such technology can be utilised to enhance the work place. He is a great team player while at the same time leading by example. I have always found him to be encouraging of those he is working with, which has always led to a better end result. Andrew is an excellent speaker and presenter with an outstanding grasp of the nature of his work and his industry. His initiative and open mindedness towards expanding his knowledge base in his field is admirable. 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. 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. I’m not quite sure which came first, social media or Andrew Pitchford. He turned a hobby into a strategic arm to the radio ministry. He is an avid researcher and communicator of what he has learned after sifting the wheat from the chaff. He is a great team player and calming influence in times of stress. Andrew set out to show us just how fast many “social media websites” have sprung up in the last 10 years, and the impact it is having on our daily lives. A speaker like Andrew could be an asset to other Rotary Clubs, as they seek to get on top of this amazing trend in our communications.
