Drew Overbeck. Marketing Maverick.

Who Likes Drew?

I have been so blessed to work with some really talented and great people so far in my career and here is what some of them have had to say about me:


Mary Beth Barker (Friend)

"I have known Drew for over 25 years...I would describe him as being dependable, loyal, intelligent and compassionate. He continuously looks to make a difference and to accentuate other's lives, with respect to both personal and business initiatives. He keeps a balance of what truly matters in life and holds true to his ethics & morals in every situation. As a father, spouse, brother, friend, business colleague, manager, he actually makes the world a better place."


Kathleen Lundrigan, Director of Marketing  MOUNT ST. JOSEPH UNIVERSITY (Former Manager at Convergys)

"Drew's trustworthy and confident style of leadership served him well in working on many challenging projects and with varying levels of colleagues. His impressive expertise in video and multimedia, combined with strong organization skills and dependability, make him a top performer in the marketing communications arena."


Barry Finestone, Executive Director at LISA AND JOHN PRITZKER FAMILY FUND (Former Manager at Jones the Florist)

"Drew has repositioned Jones with re-branding efforts and pushed the business into a new direction by strategizing and leveraging the advertising, public relations, product development, e-commerce, branding and philanthropic efforts of Jones the Florist, Sweets In Bloom and Arrangements by Jones the Florist. He has taken tremendous initiative throughout his tenure here and has served the company in many capacities outside of his central role. As an integral member of the management team, Drew collaborated with us on critical decisions such as acquisition and expansion efforts, employee hires, strategic planning, goal setting and budget building. Drew is missed by all of us here at Jones the Florist."


Kelly Mahan, Director/Consultant at POWERS AGENCY  (Former Agency Partner while at Jones the Florist)

"Drew is probably the hardest-working client we have ever had the pleasure to work with. As a business owner, I am most impressed with his strong ownership mentality and ongoing commitment to growing the business. Drew's wide range of experience and depth of knowledge in many areas — from print and production to specific, targeted-marketing efforts — is evidence of his ongoing interest in growing, both professionally and personally. He is a pleasure to work with and is adept at balancing high expectations from his vendors and marketing partners, as he should, with fairness and open lines of communication."


Bill Stock, V.P. Production IACONO PRODUCTIONS (Former Colleague)

"Drew displays a true passion and pride in his work. He completes his projects with such attention to detail delivering aproduct that always exceeds expectations. Drew collectively respects both the client and his co-workers, with a genuine regard for the team responsible for each project's success. Every assignment becomes a collaborative effort completed on-time and on-budget."


Kim Eakin, Former Head of North America Marketing VERTEX BUSINESS SERVICES (Former Colleague)

"Drew is a hard-working, diligent team player that is very effective both leading a variety of marketing initiatives and collaborating with peers and senior leadership to help drive the business forward. His attention to detail, willingness to go the extra mile, and interpersonal skills serve him well and it is with pleasure that I recommend Drew. He'd be an asset to any organization."


Mark Middlekamp, Sales Capture Lead, Utilities Practice at ACCENTURE (Former Manager at Vertex Business Services)

"I have known Drew for numerous years, and when a position opened up at my current firm, I specifically sought Drew out to fill it. Beyond his strong marketing expertise, Drew brings the intangible skills of relationship building (at all levels of the organization), strategic thinking and initiative to his work. As a result, Drew's work is always of very high quality and results oriented. One of Drew's greatest accomplishments at Vertex was the lead generation program he ran as part of our efforts to break into new markets. His efforts resulted in over 100 solid leads in 2010 that had a total contract value (TCV) potential in the multi-millions of dollars. I would recommend Drew to any organization looking for a seasoned, trustworthy, and team-oriented marketing professional."


Sherri Schwartz (Senior Online Marketer at AMERICAN MODERN INSURANCE GROUP                                             (Former Supplier while at Jones the Florist)

"Drew is very personable with a positive attitude. He is also honest and very insightful. Having Drew as a client/partner, I saw firsthand his extensive marketing knowledge and how he can integrate offline with online."


Theresa Hils Taylor, Marketing & Communications Manager at ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL (Former Colleague & Direct Report at Convergys)

"I had the pleasure of working for Drew while at Convergys and can attest to his exceptional managerial skills. He is very personable and makes it a point to ensure the development of his staff and has the tools they need to effectively do their jobs, all while exceeding his department goals.

He is a superb leader in that he is very motivating, builds on his teams' strengths, provides clear, meaningful feedback, goals, and objectives, and is always approachable & accessible. Drew is also a very strong problem solver and critical thinker, as he has a keen ability to gather relevant information, identify the cause, develop a solution and balance the big picture view with a firm grasp on the details.

Drew is driven and committed to providing exceptional customer service, resolving issues promptly & appropriately and developing strong business plans to address the customer's needs. He consistently goes beyond the scope of a project and will do whatever is necessary to meet the end goal. He actively seeks out new challenges and opportunity for growth and is dedicated to driving change and championing initiatives beyond the scope of the job. I highly recommend Drew, as any organization would be lucky to have him on their team."
