ANDRYL Testimonials
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. I highly recommend Andrew to any organization that requires someone with his brand and new media experience. Andrew’s presentations at a conference and his counsel afterwards led to our ministry embarking on a journey with digital media that would not have happened otherwise. I’ve particularly appreciated his ability to encourage and show us that we could use this form of communication to connect with a new and important demographic. 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. 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. His knowledge base of social media and online connectivity is simply extraordinary and his presentation style is calm, clear and practical. 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 is an ‘ideas man’ bringing a creative insight to problems and challenges. Andrew is an excellent general manager and has particular empathy for his staff. On all fronts Andrew is more than capable of leading a team and excellent in his understanding of marketing, strategy and sales. I’d highly recommend Andrew to any organisation. Andrew is an excellent communicator and social media entrepreneur, among his many other talents! He encourages solid teamwork, drives others to think outside the box and has passion and enthusiasm that others find contagious. 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.
