Tim Halloran Recommendations

Matt Kahn, Former Senior VP Marketing, Glaceau Brands, The Coca-Cola Company
“I've known Tim since 1998. He was my boss when I was an associate brand manager at The Coca-Cola Company and I've hired him many times in the past 6 years as a research and brand strategy consultant. Tim is one of the best brand strategists I've ever met. He has a deep knowledge of consumer marketing and a terrific ability to build out a brand's architecture and differentiated brand positioning statement. Tim also has a deep knowledge of market research from design to implementation to interpreting the results. I have hired Tim to conduct product, packaging and positioning research many times while I was running the vitaminwater, smartwater and powerade businesses. In all cases, the research results he delivered and more importantly, the recommendations Tim provided based on these research results, led to smarter business decisions. Tim has a great grasp of both the academic and practical sides of marketing. He has a great mind and he is very easy to work with. I definitely plan to do business with him again.”
