Employee of Month | Mediabistro Holdings L.L.C.
“...the creative mastermind in reimagining the overall aesthetic for each brand – but the fact that he did all of this through long nights and weekends with his enduring optimism and good spirits make him all the more deserving in my opinion. He’s simply a joy to work with and has become a great collaborator working across multiple internal departments, be it the Clio leadership group or the engineering team. As the Clio business continues to grow, it now has a beautiful and elegant website worthy of the brand’s heritage, and this is thanks to Scott’s creative vision. And, just for good measure where it really counts, the design played a vital role in helping secure the biggest single sponsorship the brand has ever had.”
