Fran has the one trait I value most in a marketer: composure. I’ve worked with Fran in the planning of numerous events over the years for the Midnight Riders (an independent supporters group for the New England Revolution), and his ability to remain cool under even immense pressure from people who aren’t at their best selves is commendable.
There isn’t a doubt in my mind that Fran would be an asset to any marketing/design/events team he’s a part of; I’ve seen the work and commitment he puts forth firsthand many times, and he never does anything by halves. I’m very, very comfortable recommending him to any organization in need of a well-rounded marketer with both design and events sensibilities.
