Professional
For over a decade I have empowered large corporations, B2B companies, non-profit organizations and local businesses across the nation to discover and share their brand story through the practical use of marketing, design and social media. I've amassed a wealth of experience in the rapidly evolving technology, advertising and media space that I have passed on to others. Recently, I have overseen corporate branding and messaging strategies for ad tech start-ups and have leveraged data and insights to produce, measure and grow engaging marketing campaigns across multiple channels. I am proud to say I have spoken at various industry conferences, and have shared my thoughts in a variety of publications about technology, advertising, and emerging media trends.
My specialties and marketing passions include: brand marketing, brand identity and awareness, copy writing, editorial, creative direction, presentation development, advertising, sales support, thought leadership, corporate branding, social media, business blogging, content creation, content marketing, collateral and marketing materials, product marketing, and event planning.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY before it was besieged by a storm of PBR-drinking hipsters. I recently relocated to the suburbs to afford my son the chance to see trees and grass. I am a die-hard Met and Jet fan, so I am used to disappointment. And, as you can tell by the theme of this site, I love listening to heavy metal. It is an outlet from all the despair being a Met and Jet fan has caused.
