What clients and colleagues say about my work

“I have had the pleasure of working with Joe, both onsite and virtually, on numerous pitch and rebranding assignments. He doesn’t just take what he is given, he challenges and pressure tests it to make sure what we are doing is the sharpest it can be—ultimately ensuring the utmost quality for our clients. Joe always presents a range of ideas that are on strategy and incrementally push the envelope. His years of experience have paid dividends in tight time frames when we have needed to get assignments right the first time.”

“Joe can easily move from the demands of new business, to leading work through the agency, inserting himself into established teams and becoming a true go-to source for top-notch creative work. He has even served as an in-house creative director and mentor when needed. Joe is a joy to work with—when he is involved you know you are in good hands.”

“When there's a sudden storm that needs a calm, seasoned creative leader or a thorny creative challenge that needs strategic smarts, Joe is the man to call. It's been my absolute pleasure to work alongside him on various assignments at The Bloc over the last several years. Whether it's a long-term gig or a short-term "Joe-for-god's-sake-come-and-help-me", I can highly recommend both his craft and his commitment.”

 “Joe Garamella is an outstanding combination of creative talent and strategic acumen...He is a brilliant copywriter, who is adept at compelling concepts, yet willing and able to handle detail-oriented and technical assignments.”

“Whether it’s coming up with a marketing strategy, developing concepts, or simply writing a tagline, Joe always comes through with a range of fresh, on-target ideas. He has no problem multi-tasking, does whatever it takes to meet a deadline, and maintains a cool professional attitude.”

“Joe's brand of professionalism is rare; no matter how tight the timeline or complex the assignment, he steps up with enthusiasm and dedication. He immerses himself in the work and makes important contributions from the start. His concepts are literally winners and his strategic muscle is evident in the way he can evaluate the finer points of creative. Joe leads by high-level example, and he is a generous partner to colleagues at all levels in all disciplines."

“Working with Joe Garamella is like entering an oasis of (well-informed, good-humored, strategic) CALM. I was a creative team member reporting to Joe as he headed up a couple of pitch pushes, and he impressed me with his clear thinking, inspiring leadership and guidance, his attention to strategy and conceptual integrity, and his ability to critique work in a constructive, communicative way.”
