As a creative director, copywriter and marketing strategist, I've helped build brands
and drive revenue for Fortune 500 companies, entrepreneurs and not-for-profits.
At some of the world's leading ad agencies, I've managed teams in creating successful
campaigns for all types of accounts including travel, health care, communications,
financial, entertainment and packaged goods. My media experience encompasses
online advertising, SEO/SEM, social, DRTV & videos, content marketing, email, direct
mail, collateral, pr, events, ambient, print and one cereal box.
I've spoken at marketing events in the U.S. and Canada, and taught DM classes at
Loyola Marymount. My panel presentation at the 2011 DMA conference in Boston was
one of the 10 most attended sessions at that event. My claims to fame include 2 Gold
DMA Echos and 2 First Place Caples, the premier global direct marketing competitions.
