My Reviews

You don’t have to take my word for it.

Here’s what clients, employers, collaborators, and partners have said about working with me. I’ve had the privilege of leading projects, building teams, and showing up as both a creative and strategic partner. These aren’t just kind words—they’re reflections of the trust I’ve earned by treating every project like it matters. Because it does.

Wes is an extraordinary person. He’s dedicated, smart, committed, kind, and patient. We’ve worked together for close to ten years and have seen first-hand how instrumental he’s been in the success of the agency and to our individual successes. He’s a natural leader with the ability to gain trust easily and excels at solving problems.

Wes spearheaded some of our most challenging and complicated projects. 
A great example was the development of the Help Me Quit app. From design to development to testing and deployment Wes led every team. As the account director on the project I can say with all honesty that his leadership was invaluable.

Wes Hester is one of those rare people that when I met him I was sure the universe put him there for a reason. As a creative partner he has vision, passion, and does whatever he can to support others to make those visions come to life. As a manager he is strong, supportive, and an excellent partner in problem solving - he sees people as people and puts them first, knowing how to lift them up and help put them in opportunities to succeed.

Wes is a unicorn, an incredibly talented caring and smart unicorn.

I've worked with Wes for 2 + years as a client at Bandujo and he has always treated our team as part of the Bandujo team, showing us with the same respect as his internal team. Wes has the following attributes that make him one of my favorite clients to work with on projects:

  • Strong sense of caring of others
  • Treating vendors like partners
  • Always kind and empathic

I would highly recommend Wes for any strategic growth or leadership opportunities.

Wes is a tremendous creative thinker who combines his leadership skills and nurturing personality to achieve the highest quality of work for individual and team efforts. I have worked with Wes for three years, first as a mentor and later a creative director. Throughout these various roles, Wes was always a prominent go-to figure for simple questions to complex creative problem solving.

Wes is always making others smile and laugh with his quick-witted humor and welcoming personality. As a team member, leader and mentor, Wes has my highest recommendation.

I highly recommend Wes Hester for his outstanding contributions at MaxMedia. Wes's innovative approach to Creative Strategy and Direction significantly improved our branding and client engagement. He skillfully developed and led our Client Services team, promoting a culture of empathy and innovation.

Wes excels at building strong client relationships, treating each business as if it were his own, and fostering deep trust and commitment. His leadership not only inspired our team but also consistently anticipated and fulfilled client needs.

On a personal note, I valued Wes as a supervisor. His empathy and sincere concern for the happiness and well-being of his team were always evident. He recognized that a happy home life contributes to a productive and fulfilling work life. Plus, he's just a lot of fun to be around!

If you’re looking for a leader who combines creative excellence with genuine client care, Wes is an ideal choice.

Wes was my manager, mentor, and friend at Bandujo for 8 years and I believe he played a crucial part in both the agency’s success and my own personal success. He not only generates thoughtful and creative ideas, he builds people up and brings out their best and he’s fearless in the way he tackles new challenges—he influences every aspect of the creative process.

Wes is an incredible leader and would be an asset to any creative team.

Enough about me. I'd love to hear about you.
