“I can't tell you how much I enjoyed working with Russ Fustino. You will not find a more positive and enthusiastic evangelist for your brand anywhere! Russ has a love for video, photography and social media and has a passion for spreading the word about whatever company he's representing. I've seen this passion first hand. Russ stays on top of social media and knows the tricks to getting the word out efficiently. When he has a desire to tackle a project, nothing can stop him (just ask him about his Jethro Tull app)! It's also worth noting that people know Russ. That sounds like a very generic statement, but anytime I was with Russ at a conference I can't tell you how many old friends would come up and talk with Russ, or people who recognized him from his Microsoft video series years earlier would strike up a conversation. He's memorable. But it's not just viewers and old friends who know Russ. It's the big names, influencers in the Microsoft and developer community, people who would be very helpful to partner with you or get the word out about your brand. That's invaluable. And for people who don't know him, if you've known Russ for 30 seconds you feel like you've known him all your life. That's exactly the kind of person you want on your team selling your brand! To top it off, he's award-winning. Most recently he was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from INETA, as well as being named Microsoft MVP. Russ is a trainer, developer, author, speaker, producer, host, social media expert, evangelist, and all around great guy. I've never heard him say a negative thing about anyone. And he was always eager and pleased to work with everyone in the company, no matter the department. He brings a genuine over-the-top excitement to the workplace that you will rarely see in an employee. I can tell you for me personally it would be a thrill to work with Russ again someday. Do you want an MVP on your team? Russ is your man!”
