“I have worked with Andy for more than 12 years. Andy has taught me many things. Brevity, for one. Simplicity. Thinking deeper. Andy questions, pushes back and debates, not for the sake of pushing back and debating, but for the sake of wanting the best possible result from the work. I respect Andy's incredible insights and ability to see beyond the mundane. To think beyond the category. When I first met Andy, I used to write long, convoluted paragraphs to explain things. Andy showed me how a simple sentence could do the same job with better results. I think that sums up Andy's power. It's his ability to pare things down to reveal the essence of a brand or product. And then how to treat that going forward...”

“Andy and his team at Pump lead our brand strategy and creative direction at CoreShares since inception. We rolled out numerous successful ATL and BTL campaigns, rejigged and pivoted during times of budget austerity and challenges like Covid but never lost momentum. During my time, we grew the business > 3x in 4 years. I would work with Andy and Pump again without hesitation in future, and truly hope I get that opportunity.”
