"How does one accurately describe Ben? In professional terms? And how else is one to describe a person who gives 23 hours of their thinky thoughts a day to their work? He’s a dynamo. A virtuoso. A Juggalo. No, not a Juggalo. A whirlwind of inspiration and excitement."- Chris Newkirk, SVP Executive Creative Director @Mike Worldwide I've had the benefit of working across many categories throughout my career in strategy—helping to grow iconic brands such as Remy Martin, Michelob Ultra, Aflac, Snickers, M&M's, Pepsi, French's & Gatorade.I believe insights can come from anywhere, so I'm always willing to get scrappy and get out into the consumer's world as much as possible.I believe the best work comes from collaboration—getting your hands dirty, making mistakes and hashing out ideas with your creative director at 2AM. I believe a little lack of sleep and a bruised ego are a small price to pay for a great campaign.Specific services: Brand Strategy, Innovation Strategy, Product Strategy, Business Intelligence, Qualitative Research, Quantitative Research, Workshop Design and Facilitation, Social & Digital Strategy, Client Management, Business Development, Brand Playbooks, Social Playbooks. #branding #strategy #advertising #freelance
