"David Ballard was instrumental in successfully launching Charles Tyrwhitt Shirts in the US market. Within a year, we had over 20,000 US catalogue customers. He contributed to this great result by intelligently selecting mailing lists and print media, negotiating a productive strategic marketing partnership with a premium US shoe cataloguer, and getting a great article about our shirts in the Sunday New York Times Style Section just before Father's Day 2002."
