From hiring, growing and training teams to leading multi-million-dollar pitches to directing hundreds of creative executions, I have the proven ability to reach your team goals.
I began my career as a copywriter over 15 years ago, and I never stopped writing. Whether you need something to play in the brand space, something very direct, or something else entirely, I can make words work for you.
I launched my first content campaign in 2008, back before it even had a name. Since then, I have led the execution of countless video, social, CRM and blog content campaigns. And I’m happy to bring those skills to bear for you.
I will work with you to understand your business goals, then build a medium-agnostic plan to help you exceed them.
