The Associate Creative Director at Gain is responsible for the bottom line creative product … and I take a personal interest and pride in delivering the best possible creative to our clients every day. From developing the thinking that goes into program strategy, to where we put that thought to work in concept development and messaging strategy, my diverse background and experience allows me to draw on many different perspectives. I have had the pleasure of working on the agency side and the client side — as the client contact and managing a creative team, as well as researching and reaching audiences in a wide variety of industries. Wearing many different hats has provided me the opportunity to learn from some of the best teachers I have encountered in my professional life, and I try to bring all of those points of view to every program I help develop. Ultimately, response determines success and I am always looking for new and innovative ways to blend the science of direct marketing with the art of design and copy, to create campaigns that help our clients achieve their strategic goals.
