Managing Director, The Public House

Ray ran a pitch process that was both fair and well-structured, always respecting our time and the effort agencies put in. He communicated clearly, set realistic expectations on both sides, and ensured a level playing field throughout. It's a pleasure to work with someone who really understands the value of creativity, the people behind the work and the impact both of those can make on a client's business.

Managing Director, Connelly Partners

From start to finish, the pitching experience was seamless. The instructions were clear, and for the first time ever, the work we produced for the pitch is the exact work that will soon be in market. Timelines were followed meticulously, which really helped us manage resources, holiday leave, and plan effectively.

Pitches are, by their nature, stressful — but the opportunity to have tissue sessions and present directly to the client made a huge difference. It helped build genuine chemistry between agency and client, and it's something that should be part of every pitch process.

The mutual respect, trust, and collaboration between Ray and his client were evident throughout. Ray's deep understanding of and respect for the agency process created the ideal working scenario.

Executive Chairman, Dynamo

Ray has a very rare combination of laser commercial focus married with a passion to fight for great creativity. I've never known him to shy away from a challenge, which he didn't meet head on. He's a pragmatist but not at the cost of landing greatness. The creative industry needs more Ray Sheerins.

Head of Marketing, Pinergy

Thanks so much for your help and guidance on the pitch. It was a seamless process for us and great learning (and a huge amount of time saved!). It was great to be in front of the right agencies from the start.

Head of Marketing & Digital Communications, CCPC

We are a very small team and having Ray's knowledge, expertise and help made a huge difference to us. He really helped keep the phases of the project moving and his input to the tender process was invaluable.

Marketing & Growth Strategist, Brand Consultant, Fractional CMO, NED

Knowing the vast experience and integrity Ray brings to everything he does, I have no doubt this will be a huge success! It is certainly solving a huge pain in the industry.

Executive Creative Director, Founder SFX

Well done Ray! What a great idea. This will provide a much needed alternative to current practice which does little for long term business relationships or indeed long term effectiveness.

Founder, Bloom

We thought the brief and the ask were a breath of fresh air when compared to other pitch requests. We enjoyed the whole process.

Founder, RAW Marketing & Events

From his vast experience of agency land to just having a sounding-board on day-to-day issues, I would strongly recommend Ray for all he brings to a project from a strategic level. Also, he is just an all-round good guy.

Managing Director, Goosebump

I had the pleasure of working with Ray on a recent pitch, and I found his approach genuinely refreshing. He designed a process that was smart, respectful, and highly effective.
Ray struck exactly the right balance: the ask of the agency was minimal but meaningful, enough to demonstrate strategic strength and rigour, paired with a creative challenge that allowed us to showcase our flair.
Too often, pitches focus too heavily on "the big pitch idea", when in reality, the client needs to find the right agency partner, not just buy a one-off concept. Ray kept things lean, intelligent, and respectful of everyone's time and talent. I'd recommend him wholeheartedly.

Client Director, Spark Foundry

Working with Ray made the pitch process refreshingly clear and efficient. From the outset, we had a precise understanding of what was needed, allowing us to focus our efforts on delivering relevant, high-impact thinking. His deep market knowledge and ability to streamline the selection process meant we weren't wasting time on unnecessary guesswork. It was one of the most focused and well-structured pitches we've been part of.

Founder, The Indie List

I've known Ray for most of my career and have worked with him on many projects. He is an absolute gem - highly intelligent, razor sharp and never afraid to challenge the thinking in service of better outcomes.

Deputy Director, Access & Lifelong Learning, UCD

We've had an exceptionally positive experience working with Ray. He has a remarkable skillset and we benefited from his input significantly.

Director, Enterprise Ireland

It's very hard to put a value on the insight and depth of experience Ray brings to a project. Great to work with too.

Founder, Owner and Partner at Agency Insight

I've seen the word 'integrity' used in previous posts about your idea, and I think you have it in spades.

Founder and Creative Director at Bonfire

Couldn't think of someone better suited. It's not often you find someone with a great business mind and such a passion for creativity.

Brand Strategist and Storyteller 

No better man to reinvent the pitch process for the better!

Strategic Communications, Network & Engagement Leader 

Great to see this and so much easier for the client to get the brief tight and eliminate hours of waste. Fantastic.

Managing Director, Irish Examiner & The Echo

As always, another brilliant idea Ray. With your skill, experience and way of working, no doubt this will be a huge success.

Púca CEO, Prommt Co-Founder

Really great idea Ray - a better pitching process will lead to better value all arounds.

Head of Marketing and Online at Jurys Inn Group

A great idea, the current process is inefficient and soul destroying.

Board Creative Director - Forsman & Bodenfors, Dublin

The right man for the job, with a sense of fairness and passion for creativity.

Head of Brand, Executive Board Member @Legacy

Great news for clients and agencies.

Creative Director, Bloom

We had the pleasure of pitching recently for some new business which Level Pitch managed and it was an incredibly smooth and congenial process.
