I’ve helped increase the bottom line of many big brands across several categories, in both the U.S. and abroad, and received global awards for the innovation, creativity and effectiveness of these efforts. Success has always come down to one, simple thing:
Building a plan to make a meaningful, emotional connection with people.
It won't matter how meticulously you craft your message, how stunningly beautiful the imagery is or that you've sourced surgically targeted media to deliver it all if you haven’t first developed a strong strategy, driven by keen insight, for why someone would ever want to love your brand in the first place. Jam-packing a data warehouse won‘t pan out without first dialing in the humanity of your target to guide you in refining your analytics‘ structure.
Please scroll down for a few examples of this kind of strategic thinking. You'll also find my bio and resume, plus a contact link for you to easily reach me:
