     Tim joined Siltanen & Partners from Saatchi & Saatchi where he was the Director of Account Management for Toyota Motor Sales National advertising.  He brings with him 23 years of advertising experience including outstanding automotive credentials at the national and dealer levels. Tim helped Toyota expand its position as “the world’s most successful automotive manufacturer” by heading all national car, truck and SUV launches for three years (2003-2006) and directed Toyota’s Dealer Association Retail teams for five years. During his eight years of managing the Toyota business, Toyota has continually gained market share while breaking all company sales and profit records.   Tim also played a key role in helping Lexus become one of the world’s most successful luxury car brands.  While at Team One Advertising he successfully launched the Lexus Dealer Association business in the western United States and helped the Lexus Dealers be named “the most successful association” by the National Automotive Dealer Association for six consecutive years.
