"You always wanted Richard (Reast) in the room when your creative was laid bare on the table. Especially when it came to BMW... Copywriters have been known to stare at their navels for weeks in the hope that a noisy clock would land in their lap. It never happens. Well not until your Managing Director steps in and massages the brief before it lands in your lap... Richard is, to say the least, a visionary and sees the world as it should be... better. In car terms, he's the Aston Martin of Managing Directors."
Jonathan Smith,  formerly Senior Copywriter, TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris, Johannesburg

  
"Richard (Reast) not only talks the talk but he walks the walk - hearing him saying "Our job is to make complicated things simple and simple things inspiring" leaves you at the end of the training with just one option - roll up your sleeves."
Antoaneta  Metchanova, Creative Director, Ogilvy Paris		  

"A proven thought leader and innovator in marketing communications. For those wanting more of the same he is not your man. A living breathing example of Disruption... my favourite quote about Richard (Reast) is 'vanilla he is not'!"
Alex Abrahams, formerly Sales Director, TBWA\E-Graphics, London

  
"Richard (Reast) is an inspirational leader who never lets you forget you are in the ideas business. When TBWA Hunt Lascaris were sweeping all before them, Richard Reast typified the attitude I believe leaders of creative organizations should have."
Priniven Pillay, Deputy Planning Director, TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris, Johannesburg
