A business chemistry test accurately labels me an “integrator-pioneer” or someone optimistic, collaborative, strategic and spontaneously generous. I'm a versatile marketing leader and work with my teams to consistently deliver innovative solutions, groundbreaking results and extraordinary service. I believe in the power of communication and that the best results are achieved by aligning marketing strategies and business objectives. With experience spanning global PR agencies, corporate marketing departments and executive boardrooms, I know how to plan, execute, manage and analyze. “Todd is a gentleman, an excellent marketing executive and that rare bird—an ideas guy who executes too," said Advertising Age Editor Jonah Bloom. "Todd has a strong altruistic streak, as well as plenty of business savvy. [He] gets the marketing fundamentals, but he’s also been a player in the evolving social media world that affects so many businesses today.”My professional writing, editing and publishing experience includes a dozen non-fiction books and thousands of articles. My first book, Reporting the Revolutionary War (Sourcebooks, 2012), was an Amazon bestseller and earned multiple book-of-the-year honors. The promotional tour included speaking engagements on the campuses of Harvard, Yale, Rutgers, UPenn and William & Mary. In 2012, I founded a scholarly journal and, until its acquisition in 2017, oversaw the publication of more than 1,000 peer-reviewed articles by 180 writers, as well as successful partnerships with two publishing companies. During a 10-year stretch of historical research, writing and editing, I was often asked to consult on major TV, book and museum productions, including a #1 New York Times bestseller. My own work has been featured by NPR, WNYC, WSJ, TIME, C-SPAN, CNN, History Channel, Smithsonian and the front page of Reddit. Blending content marketing and demand generation with my own technology and history interests, I founded two digital media properties, rapidly built them into influential global brands and negotiated their sales to large publishing firms in 2007 and 2012.
