Well, I tend to think I'm pretty mavericky and all, but what do others think? Check out some thoughts from colleagues over the years:

Marcus Wesson: "From the creative perspective, Paul's dedication to the brand and ability to handle several spinning plates at once made it easier for us to create great work. His thoroughness is exceptional and often times he offered up ideas that even made the work better. Paul is truly a valuable member to the team."


Don Lupo: "Paul's greatest ability is making important work happen amidst the constant barrage of fire drills and client demands. He is able to keep a level head while ensuring the success of each and every project he touches. From clearly managing client expectations and account staff to keeping creative executions on strategy, Paul handles it all with humor and aplomb. He is a master at adroitly juggling chainsaws and herding cats with a smile on his face; it's a pleasure to work with him.”


Tariq Ali: “Paul is extremely dedicated and hard working individual who brings a lot to the table. I worked closely with Paul on both the Ameriquest and Clearwire business at DDB, where he worked diligently with multiple teams and partners to develop and execute strategies and tactics that drove bottom-line results. Paul is solid team players with a strong can-do attitude and is admired by many here at DDB.”


Janet Ferguson Keeley: "Paul is incredible to work with in that he takes his work -- but not himself -- seriously. He beautifully bridges the gap between creatives and clients with his superb communication skills and ability to listen and understand, then deliver what is expected... and more. It helps that he seems to be both left- and right-brained with business and strategic skills, as well as visual arts and language talents. Clients are always complimenting his work ethic, and creatives want to be on his team. You will enjoy working with Paul -- as a client, colleague, or manager."


Virginia Pooler: "I had the pleasure of working with Paul on a tough, fast moving project that he handled with ease of someone who knows his business. He has the arduous task of juggling multiple projects, clients, creatives and difficult deadlines, yet he effectively bridges the gaps, managing to give each the attention it deserves. He is always calm with a great sense of humor and his knowledge of the "gamer" world is set to expert."


Chris Ruszkowski: "Maturity. Dedication. Hard Working and all around Fun Guy. These words describe Paul Sears. We worked together in Denver and I hope to work with him again in the future."


Rick Bursky: "Paul is smart, determined and works hard. He has a deep appreciation for the creative product and brings sharp strategic thinking to the party. Even in the - at times - stressful advertising world Paul manages to keep projects running smoothly."


Lauren Dunn: "Being experienced in both Account Management and Media makes Paul an asset who will prove invaluable time and time again. His communication is timely and thorough, his personality genuine and he over-delivers consistently. Paul is not afraid of a challenge, has a natural curiosity to figure something out if he isn't in the know and has his team's back. Top-notch only begins to describe him."
