Testimonials

“Her ability to craft work that’s both elegant and innovative is otherworldly.”

— Danielle Zuberbuhler, Director of Ecommerce Creative, Crate & Barrel

“Amy is a dream creative leader! She is a gifted creative, with an exceptional eye for design and she is always brimming with fresh ideas. She is an incredible creative partner—someone who constantly made me feel challenged, supported, and valued. Amy is the kind of person who changes the energy of every room she walks into. She builds deep, genuine connections and earns the trust of cross-functional partners with ease. “

“Ms. Amy Haiar, ladies and gentlemen. One of the most extraordinary individuals I’ve had the pleasure of working with.”

— Joshua Koenig, VP Creative Director, FCB

“From day one, Amy established herself as a true Creative leader. She was the first creative director in a very long time that truly understood, valued and championed storytelling through and through. It was striking. She is meticulous in her approach to finding the beauty in ideas and execution, and she fights like hell for good creative to go through. When she walks in a room, people take notice. When she gives a presentation, people lean in. When Amy says an idea is brilliant, people believe her. She’s amazing to be around. “

“Flat out—Amy was one of the best hires I ever made.”

— Stephen Thompson, Retired EVP Creative, iCrossing

“Flat out--Amy was one of the best hires I ever made. She possesses a natural drive to do great work but sans the ego of many lesser talents I've encountered. And she's dependable--I always knew whenever I threw a project her way she would make it special, over-deliver, and see it through to completion. If you want a consummate professional, an inspired leader, a crazy-good talent, and a simply genuine soul--hire her! She's a rare gem in this business.”

“Everyone knew that Amy was our ‘secret weapon,’ and we should all be so fortunate as to know one of those.”

— Tony Weber, EVP, Data & Technology, Choreograph

“Amy is a stellar creative talent. Some of the work she has done is revolutionary, completely intuitive, and strikingly beautiful, often all at the same time. She was always our first choice when meeting with clients, and I could always count on her to deliver, even in the most trying of circumstances. To top it all off, she's an absolute joy to work with.”
