Clay Rosenberg, ceo, Ultrafabrics inc

“Teke has been responsible for developing, leading and implementing Ultrafabrics’s marketing and brand strategies for five years, 2015-2020. He has been instrumental in all facets of developing a cohesive and extensive program with global reach. His creative, yet disciplined approach, combined with his excellent communication and leadership skills, allows him to achieve objectives on time and within budgets. Teke’s professional demeanor and collaborative nature makes working with him very easy and productive at all levels of the organization. He always earns the respect of all stakeholders. 

Teke’s work has encompassed all creative and strategic elements of an enhanced strategy and expression for the global Ultrafabrics brand. He has designed a brand and marketing program for the company which supported the overall vision for the business. Teke’s own commitment to sustainability influenced Ultrafabrics to adopt it as a key element in our corporate and brand strategies. His reorganizing and training of our marketing teams and creation of our branding department have resulted in an effective implementation of the overall strategy.

Teke’s vision for an elevated brand experience on all levels is manifested in his creative concept for our London showroom. I worked directly with Teke on this project, appointing him the responsibility for it in its entirety. It was my pleasure to work closely with him on creating one of the most admired showrooms in the Clerkenwell London design community. 

Teke has left an indelible imprint on Ultrafabrics. His body of work established a marketing and branding framework for the company’s future success.”

Shabeena Meghani, founder & owner, grand time:

“We have built an authentic, deep-rooted relationship with Teke over the last 7 years as he has helped us steer Grand Time through periods of growth, strategic shifts and re-branding. Teke has advised us on brand strategy for both of Grand Time's watch brands, JBW and Breda, as well as designed and led programs concerning organizational and cultural development for Grand Time. Most recently, Teke partnered with us on deeply meaningful work: defining and leading the process of how we become a purpose-driven company. 

As a creative strategist, Teke's vast knowledge coupled with his fresh perspective on culture—and genuine connection to our brand—makes working with him feel organic. From leadership to new team members, Teke has a way of connecting with people from all walks of life and he made a positive impact each step of the way. Over the years, Teke has been a strategic partner, as well as a sounding board, advisor, and good friend as we have grown together professionally and personally.”

Anisa telwar kaicker, founder & ceo, Anisa international:

“I have greatly appreciated and enjoyed working with Teke. He is a collaborative partner who really listens and hones in on the vision of a brand before he brings its heart and soul to life through both visual and written mediums. He has a real gift.

Teke and I have worked together on several projects throughout my B2B business, Anisa International, which has been around for 27 years, and he also lead the development of my recently launched e-commerce brand and business, Anisa Beauty. He supported the launch of my brand and guided my team through its development, carefully navigating the excitement and apprehension involved when bringing something new into the world.  

Teke is a great strategist, writer, creative director, partner, and a true collaborator.”
