I worked with Adam during the launch of a major CPG business during which time he was the account director at our agency. Adam is very adept at developing a deep understanding of the business and consumer drivers resulting from positioning research, and then working very effectively with the creative team to ensure the essence of the critical positioning elements are embedded in the concepts brought forward to the client. He also internalizes what he learns about the clients' businesses, and thinks about and articulates opportunities that could add additional value to the marketing efforts. Adam also takes ownership of any of the more mundane issues that arise on the account side and works tirelessly to ensure the needs of the client are met. He is truly a great asset to have.

I had the distinct pleasure to have Adam as my boss during my time at Scout Marketing. I had originally met Adam while we were both employed with JWT, and quickly sought him as a mentor in the industry. Adam has provided a wealth of knowledge for me over the years, and was the first opinion I sought in my early days of my career. Adam took the time to get to know me as a person, a colleague, and a friend. Adam is the kind of boss that immediately treats you with trust and respect, and in turn you will work within your power to prove to him that you deserve it. His strengths lie in the way he leads. He is one of the few people I have encountered that can lead by quiet example. I have learned just as much from him by observing his interactions, as I have with vocalizing my questions. His ability to control a situation, and immediately turn on a dime to provide clear next steps when a wrench is thrown at him is remarkable. Even more impressive is his ability to work with internal teams, external partners and most importantly the client, making him an asset everywhere he goes. Adam is a true professional, the kind of “Ad Guy” you want on your side and your team. I truly hope that our professional paths cross again in the near future.

Adam has a passion for advertising, pop culture and the world around him that rivals most creatives. That makes him an invaluable account man. He is interested in every step of advertising, particularly the creative process. He wants the work to be great. And he strives to make the agency environment great too. It was my pleasure to work with him, create with him, travel with him and call him my friend and colleague.

I had the pleasure of working with Adam at Walton Isaacson where we worked together on several accounts including Beam, Constellation and Tyson brands. Adam brought a fresh perspective to the table and his calm, honest, and straightforward approach in managing internal team and client relationships was appreciated by many. Adam is a seasoned account leader who understands the importance of treating clients, peers and direct reports as partners, and would be an asset to any team. I hope to collaborate with him again one day.

A person like Adam is hard to find. He's a rare leader with all of the advertising talent in the world, but what makes him so special is his genuine nature. He truly cares about what's going on in people's lives, both personally and professionally, and he's willing to help any way he can. These attributes, coupled with his transparent approach, builds trust with his teams, management and clients. Adam is never above another person or task. He's humble enough to learn things from junior staff members and always lends a hand when needed. I once saw him lead an assembly line, gluing wood-chips and cardboard for a CPG client so materials would be delivered on time. His breadth of experience has made him an expert problem solver who understands business challenges. He once told me "Learn to love your problems. We're in the problem solving business." He's realistic enough to know he can't fix everything, but he'll always go down fighting to help the agency and client win.

Adam Callow passionately fights for the right things when it comes to the creative product, but with a friendly and laid back demeanor that gets the client to listen to him. This makes him a great advocate for the work. Couple that with being a nice guy who also just happens to have great taste in music, and you've got an Account guy who is great to work with.

I had the great pleasure of working for Adam on the national launch of a new CPG brand. Adam was a great mentor to me and the type of manager that provides guidance while still giving me room to grow in my own role. Adam's ability to build and maintain client relationships was absolutely phenomenal! It was clear that they not only respected him, but also trusted their brands in his hands and considered him a friend. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Adam again in the future.

Adam is one of the few account guys who "gets it" from the client's POV. He has a deep passion for the creative process and for finding the big idea...but it's his focus on solving the true business problem that has driven his many successes.

Adam Callow exemplifies what a real advertising executive should be...he's very creative, smart, witty, and most of all, insightful. He's that rare combination of manager that both the the Creatives and Clients both love to work with...Can't beat that! I learned a lot working with Adam, and contiune to do so by always bouncing new ventures/ideas by him. I think anyone that has had the pleasure of working with Adam will tell you the same.
