I try to start every day with my eyes wide open — trusting that great solutions are out there for the challenges we’ve been asked to crack. The last 10 years in particular have helped create a big-picture view of how to solve problems. I’ve led teams in brand consulting, content strategy, experience design and organizational change. In doing so, we’ve helped Fortune 50 clients like Lowe’s, Target and McKesson transform in a new experience-driven world. Consulted with iconic brands like Barnes and Noble and Gap who are fighting to regain their sense of purpose. And, worked on small passion projects, just helping brands find their voice.The beauty is that good strategy is good strategy. And good creative is good creative. Regardless of industry or medium. The tactics change, but the same basic rules apply. So with every engagement, we get smarter, faster, bolder, hungrier. And, at the same time, more empathetic about the challenges and opportunities all around us. It’s proven to be a pretty wicked combination.Focus areas:Agency management, team development, brand positioning/development, content marketing strategy/creative, customer experience design, employee value propositions/planningIndustries and brands include: Consumer products - Harley-Davidson, Porsche, Rebel Fishing Lures, Salomon/Adidas, Vasque Footwear, CamelBak Retail - Barnes & Noble, Gap, Lowe’s, Target, Tractor Supply CompanyTravel & Leisure - Explore Minnesota Tourism, Minnesota Historical Society, Minnesota Zoo, State of Washington Tourism, Ramada, Wyndham Grand, World View (space tourism)Food & Bev - Anheuser-Busch InBev, August Schell Brewery, Buffalo Wild WingsB2B - Cargill, McKesson, Ryan Companies, Target Healthcare, Volvo TrucksNon-profit - Habitat for Humanity International, Greater Twin Cities United Way, Way To Grow, National Loon CenterGovernment - The glorious city of St. Paul, MN
