“It has been both my honor and pleasure to work with Eileen Arbues for over 15 years. In that time she has been an outstanding leader of marketing organization; from being a thought leader generating profitable ideas to providing hands-on, day-by-day implementation of programs that deliver both real sales and market leadership. It is a rare event for the combination of innovation and creativity to come with such practical, real world commitment to turning ideas into sales; and sales into profit. Eileen is a dynamo who has the business acumen to create shareholder value through advertising, marketing and sales. Besides all of that, she is just plain fun as a colleague—I relish our next joint project.”

- Angela Jerabek, Executive Director, BARR Center

“Eileen is wicked smart and not afraid to ask hard questions with the goal of helping each client to be even more successful. But what makes Eileen unique is her investment in the individuals she works alongside with. She takes on the pronoun of ‘we’ rather than ‘you,’ demonstrating how she shares in each client’s ultimate success.”
