Kosher Ham Ventures

Jeremy Bloom | President
was with another company when working with Aaron at Resolution Media

As a fellow media geek and U of I College of Communications Advertising alum, I've always had a sincere respect and true admiration for Aaron's ability to just 'get it' and relate to everything and everyone.

I first met Aaron 11 years ago when I was deciding on where to go to college and stayed in his fraternity when I was in high school. At the time and still to this day, one of the most deeming qualities on both a personal and professional level is that he just 'gets it.'

Aaron understands people and is a fantastic communicator. I've co-anchored advertising panels/career nights, in Champaign, and have crossed paths w/ Aaron numerous times over the years. Aaron is above and beyond a fantastic advice giver and truly cares about everyone he comes across.

While working as a senior media sales rep during the day, I started my own apparel company, brand and website (Kosher Ham Ventures LLC / KosherHam.com) at night and during the weekends. I had a good foundation on the branding and marketing but had very little knowledge (besides reading articles and blogs) on SEO, SEM, etc. Aaron was the first person that came to mind to call. I wanted to speak to a true expert and knew that Aaron has had such a well-versed career in digital media thus far.

Aaron was one of the first people I called to seek-out advice on digital media, search engine optimization, online marketing, and the list goes on and on. Aaron would give-up his lunch break or make time off hours to help me, an old acquaintance, chip away at the big block of ice known as online media at the cost of just 'paying it forward.'

Aaron is a born-leader, and his breadth of knowledge on digital media is hard to match. I appreciate the help and advice, and I think that as a consultant and true business leader Aaron's career is still in its infancy stages. His curiosity and wanting to learn more and more (and not just about digital media....other arms of advertising and beyond) is what makes him so successful, and I'm sure this success is just the beginning.

Loyola University Chicago

Linda Tuncay | Assistant Professor
was with another company when working with Aaron at Resolution Media

Aaron was a panelist at the Digital Marketing Symposium held at Loyola University Chicago. He offered deep insights into the area of interactive marketing and provided thoughful advice to students who were interested in the field. I'm recommending Aaron because he is a great public speaker and someone that gives back to the educational community.

MaxOnline/L90, a division of IAC

Ross Geier | Sales
worked directly with Aaron at MaxOnline/L90

Aaron and I grew up together in the business cutting our teeth in the ad network business. He came to work every day with his smile on, possessing a passion to learn, share and help anyone at any time. He always knew how to ask the right questions to uncover the key issue and to think quick on his feet to offer the best solution.

Bottom line, Aaron is someone that truly cares -- about the industry, the clients he works with, and about getting the job done right. I respect his opinion and would value his input on any sales/marketing project.

Lee Hoffman | SVP, East/Midwest Sales
managed Aaron at MaxOnline/L90

Aaron is one of the most talented sales people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He is innovative, knowledgeable, professional, and always goes the extra mile for his clients. Clients consistently told me how much they genuinely liked working with Aaron.

Ultimately Aaron is one of those rare people who always brings both personal and professional passion to the table, and it consistently shines through in his work and in his relationships.

Kelly Davis | Account Manager
worked directly with Aaron at MaxOnline/L90

I've known Aaron since our early days in the digital media business and witnessed his sheer determination and passion from the onset. He was always willing to go the extra mile for his clients and his team, not only meeting whatever goal given to him but also making the process enjoyable along the way.

Whether it's his charismatic personality, his genuine dedication to your business or perhaps his spontaneous rapping & rhyming, Aaron is simply one of those people you meet that leaves a mark.

MediaPost

Phyllis Fine | Columns Editor
hired Aaron as a Writer/Editor in 2005

Aaron is one of the best of the 80-plus writers I edit as columns editor of MediaPost, topnotch in both style (entertaining and often witty) and substance (majoring in insightful analyses, with an eye on the big picture.).

He always turns in what editors call “clean copy.” That means he knows his grammar and can explain a complex subject with clear, expressive prose (or, on occasion, poetry, as in his haiku columns). And anyone who’s written nursery (“searchery”) rhymes about Steve Ballmer, as Aaron has, clearly has an extra helping of creativity.

He also invented the Search Insider Summit Buzz-O-Meter format, in which he uses the most popular buzzwords at MediaPost conferences to chart trends and the state of the industry. And he consistently meets his deadlines -- the way to an editor’s heart.

Microsoft

Brian Boland | Director, adCenter Product Management
was with another company when working with Aaron at Resolution Media

Aaron has been a great partner while balancing his keen insight into the search industry. His feedback has always be valuable to the development of adCenter and our client offerings. As a core part of our agency council, Aaron's feedback was always valued in the development of our business.
