I operated as a sole proprietorship supporting companies, organizations, and governments working to reduce emissions, build resilience, and advance the low-carbon economy. I collaborated with other independent creative professionals when needed to produce projects and campaigns that built profile, influence, and support for solutions such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and electrification. I developed strategies, sharpened messaging, and produced effective publications, keynotes, presentations, microsites, videos, graphics, and more.

As Clean Energy Canada's cofounder, I played a pivotal role in growing the organization's profile and influence, and establishing the brand as a highly credible national voice on climate and energy issues.Here's what my former director has to say about my contribution:"It’s difficult to overstate the impact James has had on our organization. He created our now-signature Clean Energy Review digest, now a Monday-morning 'must-read' for Canada's energy and climate leaders, and he wrote and steered the success of our flagship Energy Revolution reports. On at least one occasion, he landed Clean Energy Canada on Page A1, above the fold, in a major market. In our early days, he cheerfully threw himself into the grunt work of securing hundreds of endorsements from unions, think tanks, academics, and governments—putting us on and keeping us on the radar of policy makers and thought leaders. James is both a doer and big-picture innovator. He’s passionate, driven, and chronically enthusiastic. He's truly an outstanding writer, he understands the importance of effective design, and he's widely connected with media. He has been an indelible part of our success. It’s been my great pleasure to work with James over the years, and I'm so pleased to be continuing to collaborate with him under the banner of his new company. - Merran Smith

I developed, assigned, and edited a wide range of features, profiles, and packages for an American lifestyle magazine with a circulation of 650,000. In 2004, I led a team producing a special edition that proved the second-most- popular newsstand seller in the magazine’s 25-year history. Over my years at the publication, I edited hundreds of stories, working alongside and learning from some of the top magazine talents in the United States. I produced high-quality work, generated boatloads of successful ideas, recruited writers, and along the way developed a deep understanding of the subtleties of mix, pacing, positioning, packaging, and narrative arc.

As the top hands-on editor at a news service affiliated with Wired magazine, I managed as many as a dozen reporters writing to several deadlines each day. I motivated and encouraged my team to deliver high-quality journalism in a competitive information environment that demanded extremely tight turnarounds. Under my watch, the service’s audience grew approximately 500 percent to a half-million unique visitors per day. Prior to this position, I launched and managed a number of content channels on HotWired—Wired’s pioneering suite of online content channels.
