Every brand has stories to tell. I bring these stories to life.
I help brands refine and reinvent their brand identities and messaging. Script long- and short-form videos. Produce podcasts. Create social campaigns. Plan panels and event activations. Launch sponsorship campaigns. Create print magazines. And develop editorial content from feature articles to white papers and corporate reports.
My past and present clients as executive creative director for Pace include 3M, Argo Group, Boston Consulting Group, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, PepsiCo, USAA and Verizon. I also write branded content for Harvard Business Review and consult for creative agencies around the world.

The campaign's video Sea Change, about women competing in the Volvo Ocean Race, won Platinum at the 2019 AVA Digital Awards.
