THE SHORT VERSION:I'm a writer and ideas guy with deep experience in nearly every part of the marketing/advertising process: from brand strategy to idea generation to client pitches to creative executions to deciding whether it should be a dash or a semicolon. I also write articles and editorial for magazines, newspapers, and the occasional website—mostly on business & finance, a lot on tech, a fair bit on design/architecture and luxury goods, and once in awhile on travel. THE LONG VERSION: Myself, I am: • a seasoned advertising/marketing copywriter who’s been earning a living with his words for over twenty-five years, with experience in video (broadcast and online), radio, online, social, ambient/experiential, OOH, and print;• a veteran freelancer who’s worked successfully with principals and creative directors from a number of advertising agencies, design studios, and interactive shops;• an experienced freelance journalist and columnist who's written more than his share of column inches for national consumer mags, newspapers, and trade pubs; • a skilled online conceptualizer who lives at the intersection of UX, IA, IxD, and content development, who's helped build dozens of websites, micro-sites, banner ads, and other online projects for all manner of clients; • a proven pitch-guy who's successfully sold big ideas to CEOs, presidents, vice-presidents, directors, and other senior-level clients, explaining what this concept or that execution says, how it says it, and why it matters to their businesses; • a team player who can collaborate with others and contribute to making a good project even better, yet independent enough to take the ball and run with it when needed; • a professional with enough ego to care deeply about the quality of his work, but with enough humility to recognize there’s always room for improvement.Full website currently in development; drop me a line if you're interested in taking a look at my advertising book, some editorial clips, marketing samples, or online projects.
