Stephen Roth Content Writer at C2FO

“We recently assigned Scott three content pieces on various topics, all of which required quite a bit of research. Scott turned these articles around for us in just a few days, delivering copy that was crisp, error-free and written with SEO and digital content strategy in mind. Scott nailed these assignments, which have added some intriguing, informative content for our online audience of business owners and C-suite execs.”

Mauro Gatti VP Creative at JibJab

“I hired Scott early this year to write for an innovative product that JibJab is currently developing. He not only contributed exactly the kind of fresh, fun content we were looking for, but he completed the assignments well before deadline and approached the whole project with a positive, collaborative attitude. During this time he also wrote our Quarantine Birthday Song, which became a hit as soon as it launched. As of this writing, it continues to perform well, driving increased traffic and conversions. In earlier years, as a staff writer for JibJab Bros. Studios, Scott was a major contributor to both the JibJab and StoryBots brands. He wrote nearly all our e-book scripts, several collections of educational songs, and many songs and interstitials for the Emmy-winning Netflix series “Ask the StoryBots.” Scott and I also had a pleasant and productive collaboration on our children’s book, “Hugo Makes a Change,” which was published by Flying Eye Books in 2017. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled writer with a good, creative mind.”

Evan Spiridellis, Co-Creator, StoryBots

“Scott is by far the most talented, versatile and dependable writer I have ever worked with. Our pipeline has shifted considerably over the 8 years we’ve worked together and with every new challenge Scott has knocked it out of the park! He has written ecards, political satires, children’s books, comics, website & marketing copy, daily poems, and he even learned how to write music for our StoryBots property. There truly is nothing that he can’t do and with every new project he never ceased to amaze. 

I will add that working remotely normally comes with its challenges but with Scott it has been a dream. He is by far one of our most dependable and reliable employees. 

This leads me to how collaborative and egoless Scott is. I have never worked with someone as skilled as Scott that is as open to input and feedback. For a guy that works halfway across the country he has managed to build deep relationships with the LA team and has mentored a number of our younger writers on their projects. 

I have often marveled at [Scott’s] ability to turn around such high-quality work at such an amazing speed.

I consider it an honor and a privilege to work with him and I am grateful for how much he has contributed to the studio!”

Steve A. King, Creative Director at Mylo

“I’ve had the great pleasure of working with Scott on multiple projects, including innovating humor product for Hallmark Inc. Scott is a highly productive talent who always delivers inventive, first-rate work! As a leading contributor to Hallmark’s humor line Shoebox, he originated hit card collections and blog features and nailed the brand voice of partners like The Simpsons. A former Greek and Latin Classics professor who’s equally conversant with trending memes, Scott inspires everyone around him to take up their creative game! Plus, he’s a natural team player who’s a delight to work with!”

Jeff Gill, Supervising producer for StoryBots at Netflix

“Being a master wordsmith, Scott understands how his work fits best within different mediums, be it describing vivid details in a children's book or leaving gaps in a song's lyrics to allow for animated visuals to shine. He's very receptive to feedback and an absolute pleasure to work with, and despite working remotely, I always enjoyed the rare occasions when we would interact face-to-face. A+ and highly recommended!!!”

Carolyn Esberg, Insight Strategy Consultant

“As an editorial director at Hallmark, some of our best and most profitable programs included Scott. It was a given that his brilliant writing and collaborative nature would set the highest standard for our group, but even before actual content development, Scott greatly influenced strategy. He has an uncanny intuition for what people need, what inspires kids to laugh and learn, how to engage adults in play, and ultimately how to develop content that is unique, memorable, and helps us connect with one another. 

Scott's incredible talent and abilities are a natural fit for consumer products and entertainment, however, I could see him having a great impact in areas of healthcare and medicine or any industry where there is a shortage of humor and play to promote healing. Scott's work reflects brilliantly crafted ideas, unique playful and humorous content, but more importantly, his ideas have heart.”

Ashlyn Anstee StoryBoard Artist at Nickelodeon Animation Studio

“Scott is one of the most talented writers I've ever worked with. I worked with him on numerous projects for Jibjab and Storybots, and he always overdelivered, and rarely needed notes. If you need something for kids, he's your guy, if you need something sharp and snappy for adults, he can do it too. He's also one of the best rhymed writers I've ever seen (and I've worked in kids’ books for a while!)”

Meridith Stokes Operations Manager, English Services at Pixelogic Media

“I had the pleasure of working with Scott for 5 years, and he is one of the most talented and dependable people I know. Whether we needed him to write ecards, children's books, songs, or marketing copy, he was always efficient, creative, and thorough. In addition to his writing ability, he also had great research skills and would gracefully tackle any challenge that we threw at him. Scott worked remotely but was always incredibly quick to respond to requests. He was basically a legend amongst the team for his writing ability. Working with Scott was always a joy, and I continued to be amazed by his versatility and willingness to try new things. I would work with him again in a heartbeat, and any team would be incredibly lucky to have him.”

Mike Adair Master Artist at Hallmark, Inc.

“I worked with Scott while he was a writer at Hallmark Cards. Scott was one of those creative soulmates whose work seemed tailor-made for my own. There's usually a push and pull of show and/or tell when words and art come together. But with Scott the task was usually easier and always fun. I thought it was a unique partnership, but Scott plays well with everyone. Clever, creative, witty, funny and a truly caring guy - yeah, he's kind of special.“
