“When I first met Jim he brought his extensive portfolio of Direct Mail pieces, catalogues, inquiry conversion packages and more skillfully demonstrated his skill set v. just talking about it. I was extremely impressed and hired him immediately. Jim is a passionate believer and a strong professional. He is creative in spirit, but stays firmly rooted in the world of ROI. He is able to plan strategically and adjust direction accordingly to meet with changes in the market. Over the time that we have worked together Jim has helped us to better understand our customers in detail without spending a single dime. He has developed creative campaigns online and offline to capture the attention of our prospects and increase their propensity to convert to sales from concept through initial layout.

At DeSantis Collection, for the period that Jim managed our lists, he increased business 11% over the previous quarter. Jim was well liked at DeSantis and when he left to pursue other opportunities, we were sad to see him go.” September 28, 2007

“Jim Gilbert was a teacher of Direct/Electronic Marketing at Ai Miami International University of Art & Design. He taught a class of about 10 girls, which is not an easy task; especially to keep our attention. However, Mr. Gilbert did a great job of explaining how direct/electronic marketing works in our field (fashion). He showed us what his career consisted of as well as give us an opportunity to show people in the field what we learned (at the end of the quarter).  Overall, Mr. Gilbert knows this business (from what I learned and absorbed in his class) inside out.” September 2008

Nicole Moya, Student, Miami International University

 

“Dear Professor Gilbert, first of all I want to thank you not only for teaching us some of the most important tools necessary to succeed in this industry, but also for taking the time to explain to us how to apply those tools to different scenarios… You really shared your passion and knowledge with us more than a teacher you are a mentor, and because of it I feel I am a better professional today.  Thank you.”
