Pavone Group’s Darby Hughes is a “Forty Under 40” mover and shaker

Pavone Group’s Director of Account Planning, Darby Hughes, is a lot of things (it all depends upon who you ask). Today, he’s also a member of the Central Penn Business Journal’s “Forty Under 40” list of the region’s best and brightest young movers and shakers.

But don’t take our word for it. Here are some thoughts about what makes Darby a worthy Forty Under 40 honoree from the people who know him best:

“Darby embraces the mindset of collaboration which permeates our culture, our clients and the
people he leads. He’s always thinking. He’s always searching for the insight that will spark the proverbial big idea.”

(John Bassounas – Pavone Group Partner)

“Darby is the epitome of what a mentor should be, honest and collaborative, willing to let you fail and then reach out as you get back up to try again. Darby’s ability to grow talent was the best in the ad agency world I have seen to date.”

(Greg Carney)

“There isn’t a single person or client at Pavone that doesn’t want Darby’s input, because everyone knows he helps push work to its absolute best.”
