A little bit about me.

As a sole proprietor - and someone with a pretty darn extensive background in all things marketing - I almost always have to bring everything to the table, to make sure my clients and potential clients know what capabilities I have and how they can benefit from them. And if I don’t have the proper experience (C’mon! Really?), I will call on the qualified, driven people that I have come to respect for their amazing talents to get the job done.

Throughout my career I have developed overall branding and specific marketing-related campaigns for clients of all shapes and sizes. From high tech to retail, hospitality to healthcare... and everything in between. I’ve worked with some of the largest and most respected companies and organizations in Connecticut and beyond, including Aetna, Cigna, Black & Decker, AT&T, Macworld, IDG, Motorola, YKK, Yale University, Middlesex Hospital and many more. And I’ve had work honored in a number of industry publications, sites and organizations.

Over the years I’ve built teams of some of the best creative talent around to produce everything under the marketing umbrella, including movie set graphics, travel guides, dynamic content for Web sites, corporate videos, conference and event promotions, retail displays, sales collateral, print and broadcasts ads, packaging and more. I’ve written my fair share of copy as well - for non-profits to corporate to retail. Other elements of my well-rounded career include developing strategic plans; media planning, negotiating and placement; and press relations and writing news releases.

As I said – there’s a lot in this head to utilize, and my clients seem to enjoy testing my skill set on a regular basis. So feel free to test me yourself!
