Lee Williams, ACD/Copy Lead at Hilton
If you’re in the market for a versatile, creative, gets-stuff-done copywriter, have I got a guy for you. I had the pleasure of managing Dan for 2+ years at Hilton, where he served as a Senior Copywriter. An ideal collaborator, Dan was instrumental in bringing the voice of Hilton Honors to life across channels — email, web, print, etc. You name it, he did it well.

Dan has that rare mix of craft, curiosity, and calm under pressure. He consistently delivered thoughtful, on-brand work, even when timelines were tight or scopes shifted (as they often do). He’s the one you can trust to take a loose brief and turn it into something smart, clear, and on-brand, minus any hand-holding. Any team would be lucky to have him.

Paddy Foulon, Account Manager at Hilton
I had the pleasure of working closely with Daniel, a trusted and talented copywriter whose professionalism and creativity made him an invaluable member of our team. He consistently brought sharp strategic thinking to highly detailed, often legally-mandated content, finding the perfect balance between precision and compelling storytelling. Daniel has that rare ability to make even the most technical requirements engaging and on-brand.

Beyond his skill set, Daniel brings an energy and personality that make every collaboration enjoyable. He is reliable, tactically minded, and proactive in solving challenges before they become roadblocks. I would jump at any opportunity to work with Dan again — and I truly can’t recommend him highly enough.

What sets Dan apart from the rest is his infectious creativity. Dan not only executes ideas as an excellent copywriter, he can envision and strategize creatively to deliver results. The seemingly ease to which he can conceptualize and re-imagine an idea is impressive! As a graphic designer at ASA, I certainly enjoyed working with Dan brainstorming concepts from kickoff through production. His willingness to push an idea from good to great allowed us to develop some truly unique creative assets and marketing campaigns that performed well in both organic and paid platforms. I cannot say enough about Dan. He is a great positive and creative presence to add to any creative team!


Kim Taylor, Co-founder of The Copy Lab:
Daniel Rubinton was one of my students in Media Bistro’s Mastering Advertising Copywriting class in May and June of 2012. He was in my 18th round of classes, so I had seen the work of more than 200 students before seeing his material, and I’m pleased to say he stood out as one of the most impressive students I had seen to date.

His work was always on target and inspired. His concepts were timely and inventive. He made copywriting look easy, fun, and artful.

What I found most impressive about Daniel’s work was his creative flexibility – he can write both short and long copy equally well, so he can create copy for an entire branding campaign, including ideas for non-traditional advertising and across many different forms of media.

I believe he will be an extremely valued addition to any agency team, as he’s analytical, sets high standards for himself, he’s creative and in touch with branding trends, he’s intellectually curious and a supportive team worker, and he has a natural affinity for writing.

He also has a great sense of humor, which always helps in advertising and when working with others.


Peter Seronick, former Creative Director at Allen & Gerritsen:
Daniel was a student of mine at Emerson College. He took a creative concepts in advertising workshop course with me. When he told me he was an aspiring stand-up comic, I wasn't surprised. His creative work always had a rather unexpected approach. Which is what made it creative. Daniel has the right-brain ability to be a successful creative person in advertising. I would think his relatively left from center view of the world would fit in nicely at an agency marketing to target audiences from tweens-35 year olds. 

Daniel is one of those people who doesn't need to be taught how to be creative, he needs to be taught how to focus his creativity. He's definitely worth the investment. 


Debra Martin-Boulanger, former Copy Director at Gustin Advertising
Daniel Rubinton was a college intern at our agency from May 2009 to August 2009. 

During his time with us, Daniel job-shadowed in the Account Coordination, Graphics and Copywriting departments and frequently participated in our brainstorming sessions. I found Daniel to be intelligent, curious, creative, reliable and quick-witted. In fact, while Daniel was interning with us, we submitted one of his creative concepts for a television PSA campaign we were pitching. Daniel was also more than willing to participate in some of the more mundane tasks around our agency. I believe Daniel’s cooperative attitude and creative spirit make him a great candidate for any agency or organization.
