Testimonials about
Frank Communications Lexington
and Frank Goad
“Imagine marketing hundreds of items which collectively result in over $1 billion in annual revenue. That was exactly the task we provided Frank at Lexmark.Catalogs, brochures, on-line web content...you name it, we had Frank create it. It's not enough that he developed these materials for Lexmark... he also managed the creative development efforts (on behalf of the Lexmark products) for many of our largest partners, including companies such as Staples, Office Depot, OfficeMax and Corporate Express just to name a few.
Throughout his tenure as our senior Marketing Communications Specialist, not only did Frank adhere to tight time schedules, pay strict attention to detail and develop highly innovative and captivating materials, but he also found ways to drive costs out of the business while simultaneously improving quality.
On his business merits alone, Frank was A+ in my book, but he brings something else to the table. Frank is by far one of the most upbeat, enthusiastic individuals I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Frank is an asset to any team. His positive and can-do attitude is infectious and makes it a real pleasure to take on even the toughest of tasks.
Top this all off with strong technical/software skills.
On on more personal level, Frank was also the person I turned to for help with development of presentations and the occasional 'roast' opportunity for one or more of our teammates. Frank's creativity and humor helped create a very fun environment in which to work and fostered a highly charged, positive atmosphere in which everyone could excel.”

“I worked with Frank on numerous projects in a training role at Lexmark. Frank is a 'can do' guy. He asks 'why not' rather than 'why,' and as a result he was able to solve many business problems that others before him were unable to resolve.
He is excellent under pressure, and was able to pull people together to make deadlines that seemed impossible. Frank is not bound by the specified duties and tasks of his position. If he needs to go above and beyond to solve a business problem, he has proven many times that he is capable of doing so. I endorse Frank 100%.”

“Frank is energetic, conscientious, passionate, dedicated, knowledgable of his area of expertise, and willing to go the extra time and distance to get the job done. He's also a loving, caring and dedicated family man whose morals and values are standards for others to achieve.”
“Frank was a great boss. As a Director of Marketing, he was forward-thinking and very willing to incorporate ideas other than his own. As a manager, he didn't interfere with any work, and responded immediately to any problems I encountered in the field. He lets you set your own standards of work, and then holds you to them with the greatest confidence that you'll do what you say you will. I would work for Frank with whatever projects he gave me.”
“Frank's easy-going manner and sense of humor helped put everyone at ease when he came to do publicity photos for My Nose Turns Red Youth Circus. The results were great and we used the pictures for the poster, postcard, program copy and news releases, which made marketing the performance so much easier. The profile pictures were very good but my favorite photos were the action shots he caught as they unicycled, crossed the wire, tossed juggling clubs and rehearsed their diablo piece. The final product was excellent and I highly recommend Frank.”
“Frank is a rare person who not only gets the job done, but also manages to lift up those around him. A brief conversation with Frank lifts my spirits and refreshes my attitude, resulting in both a better perspective and a renewed work ethic. This focus on others helps maintain a healthy, productive, and pleasant work environment making Frank an invaluable asset to any team.”
“Frank is an exceptionally creative and talented individual, encompassing strong people skills with technological know-how and that ever rare 'artistic touch.' This blend makes him a truly unique individual who is able to balance the yin and yang of any business situation.”
"Frank knows more about mobile marketing than anyone I know. He is easy to talk to and can explain things in terms that anyone can understand. Frankly, Frank can communicate!"
"Frank is the real deal. If you are looking for someone to help build your business who has enthusiasm, creativity, and a get it done attitude, look no further!"
"Frank is a terrific person, and I can't wait to work with him further. I wholeheartedly recommend him!"
