"I hired Brad Bailey in 2006 as my public information officer for the City of
Brad’s
job changed a lot over the 6-years he worked for me. He always oversaw
public information for police, fire, and EMS ,
as well as the city, but eventually he was placed in charge of the Civic
& Community Centers, 311/customer service, HOT funds, Events office,
facilities maintenance, and a whole lot more. Schertz is better off having
had Brad with us. He is creative and hardworking, and his staff and the
elected officials always enjoyed working with him. I’m sad to see him
leave Schertz, but I know he will give 100% to whomever he commits to."

“Over the course of five years of working with Mr. Bailey, I have watched the small town magazine turn in to a magazine not only suitable for a growing city, but also an international success. Brad's determination and vision was at the forefront in the budget and creation of what is now the largest circulation in the lucrative, north San Antonio region. His team, from his choosing, is a tight group of very different personalities from which he was able to rally the best. I enjoyed his passionate ideas and watching them come to life. As a creative director, I was not prepared for such a "bureaucrat" to emerge as such a co-collaborator in all things creative. He has the ability to speak to people and represent the ideas of a creative department in ways that most creative departments lack. I would be thrilled to work with him again and I look forward to seeing his future endeavors.”November 26, 2012

with a passion for marketing, publications, and public relations. His Schertz
magazine was impressive and extremely well presented. Brad is energetic,
focused, and results driven. In addition, he is a personable and polished
communicator who is well respected by other professionals and leaders in our

community."

“Brad's
coordination of and shepherding of the Cabela's project in Buda was a
masterpiece of economic development that benefited not only the community of
Buda, but Hays County as well. Brad's skill set includes mastering the art of
coordinating disparate groups with sometimes competing agendas, and bringing
multiple parties together for the common good while achieving the goals of each
group.” November 23, 2012

“I
have worked with Brad since 2006, when we jointly created the Wedding Parade
for the City of Schertz and my company, A Moment In Time. Since then we have
collaborated and produced numerous events with fantastic results. Brad is quick
to think not only outside of the box but to utilize even the most basic ideas
or situations and create promotions and events that are outstanding. His work
with Schertz Magazine, beginning from a 3 page stapled sheet to the
award-winning magazine it is now, is simply amazing! The residents actually
keep this Magazine, even though he produces it monthly, simply for the fact
that the articles and production value is top notch. Brad is always thinking,
always planning ahead for the next project and has his eye on the future. He
would be an asset to any company.” November 27, 2012

Titterington, President, Schertz Chamber of Commerce
"From
the moment he personally hired me, Brad clearly and concisely shared his
expectations for the magazine with his writers while working towards a bigger
goal of advancing us all. I always knew what was expected of me and Brad was
eager to give me creative freedom in my writing as well."
Andrea Allinger, Writer/Editor
“I
had the pleasure of working with Brad to launch Schertz Tales Magazine for the
City of Schertz. I have never worked with a more creative proactive executive
in my entire career. He is clearly one of the best innovators and motivaters I
have encountered. In my opinion, Brad literally put a small town on the
national scene, winning countless national awards (even mentioned in the
Congressional Record) and has remained an inspiration. Brad has accomplished
too many feats to expound upon here, but please contact me if you would like to
here more. I could not recommend anyone higher than Brad for any endeavor he
chooses to embark upon.
Leslye Hernandez, Independent Marketing
Consultant
"Determined,
dedicated, decisive, ambitious and steadfast. These are the words that come to
mind when I think about Brad in the time we've spent working together. He has a
keen business sense. He takes his time to discover the needs of the
organization, decides on a path for the future and then surrounds himself with
the people that can help him achieve his goals."

E. Bailey is a great boss. His leadership skills are outstanding!"

"Brad
E Bailey knows how to work with the media to communicate his organization's
vision and direction. I was a reporter in San Marcos when he was the county's
chief of staff/spokesperson and he was attentive and responsive to my media
inquires. The energy he put into the job reflected well on the commissioners
court he worked for."

I
have had the privilege to have worked with Brad in my capacity as Hays County
Parks Director. He has always shown interest and support in my projects and
often injected ideas that I had not considered. His ability to think
outside of the box made things run smoothly and usually resulted in a savings
of county funds.

an awesome publication. His creativity and the implementation of his visions

"I
worked with Brad Bailey at Hays County Government in San Marcos for a number of
years. He worked for Judge Jim Powers as his aide and interacted with all
the departments. As the grants administrator for commissioner court, I
interacted with all of the departments too and as such worked closely with
Brad. I found him to be very professional and disciplined as well
as likable and courteous to all he worked with. We focused our
efforts on budget problems within county governmental and secured either grant
funds or implemented more efficient ways to operate. He always got the
job done and on time and would be an asset anywhere he goes."
