Award-Wining Writer | Social Media | Marketing | Designer | Video

Finding, engaging and convincing customers is the lifeblood of business. As an award-winning journalist and social media storyteller, my unique strength is finding the authentic story that differentiates you from everyone else, then telling that story in way that engages your audience emotionally and compels them to act though social media, web, video and print. No matter the media channel, I have the experience to connect your message with the audience. I am a marketing strategist as well as a writer, a graphic designer, web designer, photographer and filmmaker: • I create content for and manage the social media for businesses and individuals. • I have produced videos for Fortune 500 clients. • As a digital content creator I have produced writing, photos and video for USAToday.com, BBC.com, AOL and other branded content channels. • I was the principal architect and UX/UI designer for a number of large content and e-commerce websites. • I created content marketing platforms for global brands including Volkswagen, Starwood Hotels, American Airlines, Bacardi, Seabourn Cruise Line, E&J Gallo Wines, the Jamaica Tourism Board, Sandals, General Motors, Honda and others. I've worked as a senior executive for some of the nation's largest media firms including Rodale Press, Ziff-Davis Publishing and what is now Bonnier Corporation, and as a consultant to National Geographic, Editorial Televisa and many others. I can tackle any project from creating and executing a comprehensive brand marketing strategy to creating one-off blog posts, social media posts, web sites, landing pages, ads, press releases, white papers or feature articles of any length. I have written/edited/designed more than two dozen books on subjects ranging from travel to business management to graphic design. I have designed and built websites and created brand identities for businesses. I have produced/filmed/edited/distributed video marketing series for medium and large businesses. I can work with agencies or I can be your agency. If you can imagine it, I can write it/film it/design it/post it/publish it/spread it to your desired customers. If you can't imagine it, I can imagine it for you and execute effective social, video and print communications.
