Recommendations

Robert Abbatecola is a blend of an extraordinary artist and a seasoned business manager. He successfully directed many complex projects to completion while at the same time managing the demands of multiple decision makers from various coasts and countries including Europe and Asia. He possesses the ability to drive results through his supporting production and editorial staff without ever sacrificing the truly unique creative and sophisticated environment that Harman’s in-house ad agency became known for. Those that worked directly for Bob were supported in their artistic expression as well as their upward progression through the business. The creative projects that were developed under Bob’s direction were frequently recognized within the industry and were the recipients of many prestigious awards. Bob was well respected by management, his peers and his subordinates. He is a true professional with an ethical, calm, even and intellectual approach to every challenge put before him. Bob is among those that I rank the highest. He is an “A” player with vast experience and talent to draw upon. He is a true asset, a valuable contributor and the employer that hires him will get the better end of the deal.

I was fortunate enough to work with Bob for many years on a number of projects ranging from web sites to apps, for several major consumer electronics brands. Each and every one was successful due to Bob's highly collaborative nature, incredible design aesthetic, and his ability to create brand guidelines that help different teams maintain the brand identity. 

Bob is a true creative professional. He knows what's best for the brand, the client, and the customer. He knows how to speak to a customer through visual communications that are clean, and intuitive. He believes in and follows a user-centric design methodology that keeps his work usable and cutting edge.

I would highly recommend Bob for any company looking to raise the creative bar for their brands.
