“I can’t recommend Cindy enough—she is a GS&P legendary alum and simply one of the BEST in the business. Cindy approaches every project with a high level of professionalism and passion to make the best work possible. She makes balancing production budgets, client feedback, creative feedback and the craziest of timelines look easy—while maintaining a cool as a cucumber attitude which, as we all know, is a rare trait to have. Cindy treats everyone she works with as a true partner, problem solver and friend. She not only cares about the output of the work, but the people involved with making it, which makes every production she works on a delight.

Simply said, clients love her. Agency folks love her. Even cost consultants love her. And I always look forward to working with her when she is on my piece of business—she’s one of my favorites.”

Cassi Norman, Group Account Director, Goodby Silverstein & Partners

“Cindy is an outstanding producer. In addition to being a pleasure to work with, she not only delivered the projects we’ve done together within budget but her creative savviness elevated the spots produced.”

Jose Velez Silva, Vice President, Multicultural IMC Brand Marketing, Comcast

“I’m pretty sure ‘Cindy Epps’ is an illusion. Some sort of phantom or mirage. She doesn’t really exist. I mean, how could she? No producer is that good with temperamental creatives, demanding clients and constantly shifting production dynamics…all at the same time. No producer is that versatile – that creatively intuitive; that good with the numbers; that masterful at juggling countless details; that indispensable; and yet that enjoyable to work with. All of that in one human being? It’s simply not possible.

The more likely truth is that ‘Cindy Epps’ is some mythical figment of the industry’s collective imagination – conjured and channeled by all the highly-awarded people she is purported to have worked with. Or maybe it’s the nom de plume of some Oz-like savant behind the curtain – the true mastermind responsible for all the magic associated with her name.

Whatever the case – real or not – ‘Cindy Epps’ is an absolute dream.”

Jim Elliott, Executive Creative Director, Goodby Silverstein & Partners

“Cindy has this incredible ability to manage a production with great vision and purpose while bringing everyone along as a team in the process. She leads with a calm, rational, empathetic and honest approach. It’s an approach that helps everyone feel heard and simultaneously keeps all parties focused on the goal of making the very best work possible. As an account person, I can’t imagine anything more important in a partner. She’s the best.”

Chris Nilsen, Group Account Director, Goodby Silverstein & Partners

“Cindy’s that magical third creative who always has the best interests of the work at heart and can navigate the delicate egos of creatives without ever stepping on anyone's toes. Trust her when she says ‘Maybe we should grab this one more shot for the edit.’”

Chris Ford, Creative Director and Writer

“Cindy is a wonderful team player and works well with everyone, no matter what their capabilities or personalities and egos might be. She can bring everyone together to work through any challenge. She can even make that fun. Creatives and creative directors love her, and they’re not always so easy to please. She was brilliant with some difficult clients and was well respected and liked by them, as well as our agency account management people. She is a great communicator and is well-liked and admired in the production industry for her personality and considerable knowledge, skills, creativity and teamwork.”

Debbie King, formerly Head of Production, Goodby Silverstein & Partners

“Cindy is unfazed by earthquakes, floods, sniper attack, sudden script changes, missing creatives, escaped animal talent, and rampaging clients. This can be helpful.”

Jeff Goodby, Co-founder of Goodby Silverstein & Partners

“When you work with Cindy, there is one thing that overwhelms you. A sense of calm. No matter what the issue, Cindy figures out a way to make it disappear. Her problems never become your problems. The chaos that is production just seems to fade away so that you can focus on making the work the best it possibly can be. Her experience, smile and commitment to the work make her by far one of the best around.”

Paul Stechschulte, Creative Director

“Cindy is the consummate professional and has worked on some of the most famous advertising in the last twenty years. The quality of those commercials speaks for itself, but I know first-hand how she works. She is one of the most patient, detail-oriented producers I’ve ever worked with. And one of the kindest, nicest people I’ve come across. In an often tense business, this is really important. She is level-headed when the rest of us get stymied, but also stands up for the work when needed. She works well with everybody, both clients and production.”

Tyler Hampton, Creative Director and Writer

“Many, many of GSP’s award winning spots have something in common. They were produced by Cindy Epps.”

Cindy Fluitt, formerly Head of Broadcast Production, Goodby Silverstein & Partners

“Cindy Epps is one of those rare folks that you can put in any situation and no matter how difficult or simple it may seem, she will approach it with a genuine enthusiasm and hunger to get to the heart of the matter. Cindy’s vast experience in Broadcast Production, Systems and Project Management and Client Service is rare to find in one person these days. She knows how to get in and find out what everyone needs, what the roadblocks are and how to navigate often difficult situations that are riddled with timing and financial issues. You’d be hard pressed to find someone as knowledgeable in so many areas, as even-tempered and as dedicated as Cindy Epps.”

Tony Marden, Formerly Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Advertising Production Resources

“What is unique about Cindy is that she is not only an awesome producer and production partner, she is a great mentor with a sincere interest in the collective well-being. I credit her in part for my career in broadcast production. When I was a coordinator, she sought me out, involved me in her projects and patiently took the time to teach me. I am not sure I’d be the producer I am today without her.”

Alex Spahr, Senior Director of Creative Production, Lyft

“Cindy is old-school, in a good way. She knows everyone, and everyone knows and loves her, including the top executive producers. So there’s little bullshit and games. Every one of her relationships is based on respect, and that’s how she gets things done. I guess that’s probably how she managed to pull off the massive amount of work required for our Sprint “Firsts” spot in six weeks. SIX weeks start to finish. Seriously, go watch it. Oh, and the most important part is, you couldn’t find a sweeter person this side of Mother Theresa.”

James Bray, Executive Creative Director, Arnold Worldwide

“Cindy is the odd combination of easy going and yet completely ‘on it.’ That’s why every single job we’ve worked together has been as smooth as it is fun. She also has lovely hair.”

Spencer Riviera, Writer and Director
