Summary
I have been privileged to work with brands such as Audi, Intel, MINI, Qwest, Travelocity, and Virgin. I’ve learned how to lead project and client focused teams and agency organizations. And I’ve mastered skills, such as marketing strategy (with an emphasis on digital), strategic selling, planning, creative direction, organizational design, UX and UI, innovation planning, and workshop facilitation. All by creating things that have been unprecedented and effective. Things like: - An agency innovation program that netted multiple Effies, Lions, and recognition from the New York Times. - A concise and persuasive demo that landed the next round of funding for a startup. - A direct digital strategy that reduced cost per sale by 70% and doubled conversion rates - A CRM program that caused advocates of the brand to spontaneously hug me when they hear I am behind one of the favorite parts of their inbox rituals. I am now using my talents both as a freelancer to help brands be more effective and successful. And I am establishing a non-profit that may just help us thump climate change. It's a good time to be working.
