*Indicates collaborations with Made Creative

"As a writer, he’s like a team of Japanese engineers that was genetically combined with George Carlin, Tom Wolfe and Gallagher. When a basic grey idea for a story hits the table, Mike is quickly able to pick it up, pull it apart, beat it with a mallet, redesign it and put it back together. When it’s delivered, the reader is treated to a wild carnival of vivid imagery, effective messaging and easy-to-read goodness. I have never read a Mike Ward story that I didn’t like. He is simply the right man for any writing need."
— Kent Jennings Brockwell, Richmond Ad Club Ad Person of the Year
