About Me.​

It’s not what you know. It’s who you know. And you know me.

While you’re busy running your business or serving your clients, I’m busy helping to ensure people notice your amazing business and clients. I’m a brand strategist and creativity consultant who trains public relations, advertising and digital agencies to craft novel ideas on behalf of their clients. I also help businesses of all types feel like they have an expert they can call for communications strategy, brand identity, and gut checks.

I have experience in many business sectors, including food and beverage, health and wellness, home goods, not-for-profit, commodity boards, b-2-b and more. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with numerous well-known brands, including 3M, Diageo, E. & J. Gallo, Blue Ridge Public Radio, North American Roofing Services and Harrah’s Cherokee Casino. After almost 15 years of working with award-winning public relations, advertising and communications agencies, I know what it takes to connect with consumers:

Think like your audience. Talk like you’re human. Show people something worthwhile.
