"Jon has an exceptional commercial acumen and a wealth of industry knowledge, and I think most if not all indie studios would benefit hugely from his advice. He was invaluable in helping Modern Storyteller land a major deal which transformed our business. Without exaggeration, it would not have happened without him. He's also a top bloke and a pleasure to work with. If you're reading this and wondering whether to engage him: do it!"
