It happened during a presentation to advertising veterans in my senior year of college during the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC). The client was Burger King. The business challenge a complex one with high stakes. Although we didn't win the grand prize (we were close), I became hooked on Marketing.Since that time, I've leveraged my ability to develop long-range strategic plans, breakthrough brand positioning, and high impact creative to help brands drive revenue by delivering loyalty-generating customer experiences. I do this by taking a broad view, analyzing macro and market trends, deciphering the competitive landscape and developing a rich understanding of a consumer’s needs and desires. Described by many as an authentic leader who sees the possibilities in all things, I aim to leverage purpose-driven, customer-centric brand and marketing strategies to empower everyone in an organization to unite for a common cause. Specialties: Brand positioning, Brand Strategy, Brand Activation, Strategic Planning, Acquisition, Retention, Social Media, Community Building, Customer Insights, Storytelling, Management, Operations.
