"Kip Finch was, without a doubt, my very best hire at MemberWorks. He's smart, extremely creative, technically savvy and consistently think outside the box while keeping cost and client considerations in mind. David Ogilvy once said "Hire people who are better than you are, then leave them to get on with it. Look for people who will aim for the remarkable, who will not settle for the routine." That's exactly what I did with Kip and he has been a remarkable asset to Vertrue."
Anne Cheevers,
Vice President, Direct Marketing & Creative Services, MemberWorks

John Fischer,

"I have known Kip for 15+ years and have worked with him in two companies, Newfield Publications and Adaptive Marketing. Kip has a strong advertising and creative background, uses "out-of-the-box" thinking and was a great asset to the companies he has worked for. He and his teams have helped my groups immensely in moving projects forward. When he says he will get something done he does, professionally, on time and budget. His teams always grew under his leadership; a great example would be leading his team in the transition from print design to web design. I would highly recommend Kip."
James Frey,

"Kip was responsible for creative development of all web and print based material for Memberworks/Vertrue's internal and external customers.

I enjoyed working with Kip and definitely recommend him and his work."
