Kevin Shea

“Kevin always knows all the right levers to pull to generate qualified leads under aggressive timelines and with limited resources. His work was essential to ramping up acquisition across 3 very different divisions. His ability to dig deep and understand each one’s nuances and particular needs as well as bring all the right elements and people together from different departments enabled him to get HUGE projects done quickly that spiked revenue almost immediately! I learned invaluable business lessons from him, beyond just the realm of marketing, and would be excited to work with him again in the future!”

“Kevin demonstrated exemplary work with HookLogic. He created and managed the lead generating efforts of the company setting KPIs, exceeding them, reevaluating and raising metrics and then breaking through those goals as well. Kevin always brings to the table a professional and upbeat demeanor, he is reliable, has a vast knowledge of the landscape and brings a unique and innovative perspective. This is the guy you want pushing your marketing efforts!”

“Working with Kevin has been an absolute pleasure, both professionally and personally. He has a wealth of knowledge across all areas of marketing and, regardless of the heavy workload he was dealing with, always made the time to mentor others in these areas. The amount I learned from Kevin during my time working with him cannot be adequately described in a short recommendation, but I'll do my best to give some insight. Kevin's management style very successfully fosters growth and initiative, by allowing you to pursue and develop skills that you personally want, and not just ones that best suit the needs of the company at the minute. There is no doubt that I became a better employee in all regards reporting to Kevin. Despite his level of seniority, Kevin was always willing to get into the weeds whenever it was needed, and always put the needs of the project first. I have witnessed him extend this helping hand across many departments at HookLogic, and showed him to be a true team player, and ally of the company. The wealth of knowledge Kevin has is something that needs to be mentioned also. He has a strong analytical mind, a deep understanding of marketing automation systems and CRM, and has shown to be an expert in everything marketing related from email marketing to PR. I have developed career-changing skills working with Kevin that were the direct result of his mentorship. His devotion to empowering those reporting to him despite the scope of his role is a testament to how dedicated he is to bettering those around him. I couldn't recommend Kevin enough in all capacities, as a marketer, as a manager, as a co-worker, and as a friend.”

“Kevin was a wonderful client for Abax Interactive. His passion for marketing, knowledge of interactive media, and thirst for the data behind it all made him an ideal client. His operational excellence kept all the participants supporting the customer acquisition funnel aligned, and under his leadership each functional unit was optimized and integrated. I know we will share notes on marketing tricks in the future, and look forward to the next opportunity to work together.”

“Kevin is undoubtedly the most ideal boss and collaborative partner I've ever worked with. He understands the complexities of building web applications and gives great respect and understanding to those who he leads in this process. But he has been more than just a hands-off leader -- he is not afraid to delve into the granular and sometimes incredibly complex details of building applications for the web -- to roll up his sleeves and get dirty. He has shown me what great leadership can be, and I have incredible respect for him both as a person and as a business colleague.”

“Kevin is the best manager I've ever worked for. During the time I spent on his team, I never saw Kevin face a single challenge or assignment that he wasn't ready to tackle with enthusiasm.
