I'm a writer/creative director. What drives me in this business is the hunt for creative ideas and strategic insights that just plain click, ring true, and outright sing because they're so spot on. Kind of like that moment in a song when a musician just nails something so beautifully you can't help but cry or hoot and applaud. I help brands connect with people in a respectful, authentic, helpful way. There's more than enough fluff and noise around us. Be transparent, relatable, and don't waste people's time. I believe great ideas can come from anyone and anywhere. Cross-capability brainstorms and meetings help us discover customer insights, market opportunities, and creative ideas that we can then push further into epic greatness. A willingness to learn, cooperation, hard work, results, and the ability to take different perspectives woo me. Yes. Woo. I care about my team. I'm only successful if they are, so I strive to help them improve and advance. As a leader, it's my responsibility to create something they want to be a part of. Trust, collaboration, communication, and high expectations are at the core of how I manage a team. Specialties: Digital/social media creative strategy, planning, and execution. Branded content strategy, creation, and distribution. Cross-capability coordination. Partnering with bloggers/influencers to generate content that's authentic to their personal brand and my clients'.
