Repositioned & rebranded GV Financial Advisors, a 25-year-old Registered Investment Advisory firm. In November 2015, GV became JOYN, the first Behavioral Wealth Management firm in the U.S. Highlights:Defined a new category for the firm’s core financial advisory service. What was previously called “Guided Wealth Transformation,” a concept that was difficult to describe and understand, became Behavioral Wealth Management, a new wealth & investment management discipline grounded in behavioral finance, economics & neuroscience.Led the repositioning, renaming, and rebranding effort that culminated in “WE CHANGED LIVES,” our top-secret official launch party in which 350 unsuspecting guests teamed up to build prosthetic hands for land mine victims in developing countries (and later told us the experience itself was life-changing). Won the Phoenix award from the Public Relations Society of America for the philanthropic launch event and a national branding award for our corporate identity.Collaborated with C-team to create, redevelop and/or hone interactive free workshops that delivered meaningful value to attendees while demonstrating the firm’s expertise and generating new clients. Built & led new day-to-day marketing activities including content marketing, event marketing, general lead generation/nurturing, client engagement, media relations, digital marketing, SEO, media relations and other promotional programs. Result: Following the rebranding, we delivered the two most successful years for client acquisition and recurring revenue in firm history.

Before joining the firm full-time (and rebranding them as JOYN), I dove deep into their business, their vision, their competitive advantages and weaknesses, and the work done by countless prior consultants and agencies. I then developed a bold new positioning strategy and service category, brand strategy, marketing strategy and tactical action plan that would clearly establish them as a far different kind of firm than others in their conservative industry. After selecting an agency partner, I led the development of their major new website along with the brand story, provocative messaging & content, unusual look and feel, and back-end technology to drive new client acquisition strategies. Upon launch, I moved to Atlanta to become their VP of Marketing.

Identified & validated customer problems and led MVP development for a SaaS/social platform that would ultimately tackle these problems faced by higher institutions, students and alums: 1. Weak, antiquated or invisible infrastructure for university alums to hire from their alma maters2. Ineffective or non-existent programs for interns and recent grads to capitalize on alum networks to land summer internships and permanent jobs in cities beyond their campus home3. Soft post-graduation employment rates among recent grads which negatively affect -- those students' lifetime earnings-- college rankings that use employment and earning data for recent grads-- quality of future student applicants-- student loan default rates -- the perceived value of alum degrees, which can affect alumni engagement and donations4. Lost social media membership/advertising/recruiting revenue when alum conversations are owned by social media giants who monetize those conversations5. Sporadic alumni club participation that affects alumni fundraising performance. 6. Lack of systems for alums to easily promote and do business with each other7. Nonexistent data to help students and graduates optimize their career paths and connect with the people who could best help them in their journey8. No social hiring systems

Guided CEOs and led their teams to develop & execute new business strategies & plans. My specialty: early-stage/emerging growth companies in a plethora of industries: SaaS, e-commerce, enterprise IT services, computer manufacturing, healthcare, biotech/pharma, internet advertising, nonprofit, construction, legal, utilities, management consulting, packaged goods, publishing, fashion, professional services, web & mobile applications. (After all, innovation comes from outside your building and your industry!)My projects typically involved leading new product development, positioning, branding, marketing plans, budgets, marketing operations, analytics systems & marketing channels. Developed messaging, websites, landing pages, social media content, sales collateral & sales training. Designed & executed highly targeted marketing campaigns for lead generation, nurturing, customer acquisition & thought leadership. In some cases I sold directly for clients (and built a $100MM+ pipeline for one firm in 2 years) though most campaigns relied on heavy internet marketing: great web development, SEO, SEM, PPC, blogging, content development/syndication and social media marketing.

Who needs another necktie? We all need more FUN! At the time, GIVIGIV (now LivnGiv) was an early-stage mobile experiential gifting company focused on carefully-curated bars & bistros in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York. We firmly believed in shifting rampant consumerism toward meaningful experiences with important people in our customers' lives.I joined the founder (and was soon named co-founder) to build the brand & messaging, hone our initial customer segment, tightly test customer acquisition & development methods/costs, develop the financial models for fundraising, and finish building the web/mobile/Facebook technology to achieve our goal: Allow consumers to instantly send drinks & food right to their friends' smartphones.

After launching as a boutique sales & marketing consultancy with a unique pay-for-performance revenue model, we pivoted into SaaS. I conceived and built (with extremely limited resources) the core functionality, 1200 pages of guided IP, and a "solve your marketing problem in 3 clicks" wizard for our first product, Marketing M.O, the Intelligent Marketing Platform. I also devised the strategy to create a second product (currently known as Growth Panel, www.growthpanel.com), to offer white-label tools to corporate teams and consultants.Both products systematize the marketing function to focus on driving revenue & profit to achieve company goals using wizards, interactive best practices, spreadsheets, calculators & education in 29 marketing subjectsThe Marketing M.O. IP has also been licensed to other firms including a CEO mentoring product. Customers (quite accurately) called it "A lifetime's worth of marketing experience packed into a single product" and thanked us profusely for creating it.

Concerned with the dearth of female-focused feature films, I built a slate of projects, negotiated option contracts, raised seed capital, pitched projects, coached writers, and personally adapted a novel for the screen. I also developed business plans & provided creative consulting for other independent film producers. Completed a wide variety of producing & screenwriting seminars.I started this portion of my career by working as an unpaid reader for three producers, then became an assistant to the producers and director of development at Silver Lion Films. I was later promoted to Director of Finance before deciding I was ready to move out on my own.
