actually
appreciate what you do – and they’re willing to admit it in public.

“Creative. Strategic. Prolific. Personable. Clever. Creative. Intelligent. Passionate. Creative. Brilliant. Quick-witted. Did I mention creative? If your advertising needs a shot of adrenaline and memorability, you can't do any better than working with Bob. I've partnered with him for 20+ years and have never met anyone in the ad business that is more talented. Honestly. Put your brand in Bob's hands.” Mark Galarneau Owner, Creative Director of Galarneau & Sinn, Ltd |

“Bob has got to be one of the best in the business. I have worked with a multitude of marketing and advertising professionals over the years, but there is only one creative advertising name I would ever recommend to anyone and that is Kilburg & Associates. Bob and his team produce the most original, impactful creative you could ever ask for. His experience in the industry speaks for itself and the extremely talented team he has assembled around him is a testament to the fact that Bob knows how to succeed. His impact goes far beyond just the ad he is creating as well. Bob really wants to do whatever is in his power to help grow your business and see a successful campaign bear fruit. He understands business and the idea of growing successful products/services together, rather than some who just care about a one-time paycheck. It would be a disservice for me to not say it again, if you are looking for creative advertising there is only one name I would ever dare to recommend and that is Kilburg & Associates.” Colin Jordan Senior Manager Corporate Communications at Egnyte (pictured with Egnyte CEO Vineet Jain) |

“Let's face it, there are multiple information explosions out there, and each one has a message. How do you cut through the clutter and stand out? Your messaging needs to have a distinct personality of its own without getting in the way of the brand. How many spots have you liked but you could never remember what the ad was for? The solution is simple: Get Bob Kilburg to do your advertising! I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Bob on numerous campaigns over the years, and he always delivers beyond the performance and results the client expects. Once you procure Bob Kilburg as your creative force, you will keep him for life. I strongly recommend Bob Kilburg for your next project. And the one after that, and the next one, and, well, you get the picture.” Dick Ervasti CEO of Jasper Multichannel LLC, and one of the world’s greatest voiceover actors |

“Bob Kilburg is by far one of, if not the most, creative individuals I have worked with in my career. The direction and vision he possessed on projects that we collaborated on at the Del Grande Dealer Group were extraordinary, and the content he puts out for the San Jose Sharks commercials is amazing. There is no one else that I would choose to work with in a creative setting other than Bob and also no one who taught me more about advertising and messaging than Bob did in my time working with him at DGDG.” Matt De La Rosa Editor at Ultimate Fighting Championship – formerly with DGDG.COM |

He also has a great eye for visual esthetics. The results are always memorable.” Roger Krakow Co-Owner, Rough House Editorial & Compression Group |
 |
“I have worked with Bob on numerous commercial productions for television, radio and corporate media. Bob has been both my client and my vendor. Always ‘on’ when it comes to creative insight and brings way more to the production than a great voice or a script. He understands what the client is looking for and communicates that message without imposing his ‘will’ on the process.” David Porter Partner at Daiport LLC – former president of The Music Annex |
 |
“Bob Kilburg understands us and understands our business. He gets to the bottom of what we want, and need, to communicate.

Additionally, his strategic capability is equal to his creative talent.” Jeff Forestier SVP, Managing Director, Heavy.com Managing Director at Regent Pacific Management Corporation |
