Our agency is full of experts.My role is a collaborative one with which our experts can amplify strategies by bringing (crazy, prickly, ambiguous, long-wondered-about) ideas to life. I help answer the nagging, “How might we…?”, “What if we…?”I empower day-to-day creative and strategy, I lift all ships by unifying our best ideas, our best methods, our most actionable insights…and then sharing our brilliance across teams and clients.It's a role that is purely additive to existing conditions - delivering new energy, focus and thought.I foster unity of understanding in client desires, new business, social zeitgeist, brand, data science, customer experience, art, technology, process, and business. I do this in order to architect living brand/cause ecosystems that influence our clients’ constituencies and public perception.Together, we:Understand client goals as they exist with public onesLearn audience / segment motivationsDevise tests / researchDevelop insightsFacilitate client workshops around offer/brand/cxGenerate project / strategy inputsPresent / share outcomesThrough the dynamics of my role, and its impact on the work, we will see real and measurable positive human and business outcomes.

In 2012, Grizzard wanted to crank up the impact and reach of digital for nonprofit organizations, I was brought in to form, inspire and lead a cross-channel team spanning creative, CX, content and development. My team created multiple models of engagement for a varied array of clients. Cooperative platforms for smaller organizations and full custom solutions for larger national and international services groups. And, man, it was fun! Together with sales and client teams we built kits of campaign elements that were easily automated to iterate across clients, saving their precious donor-funded resources while maximizing fundraising across channels.

BKV had to innovate. And, in 1998 I came aboard and began formulating and building a digital practice for the venerable direct response agency. What started as a simple digital media support team (banners, landers, etc.) turned into one of the strongest and most forward thinking groups serving corporate and nonprofit organizations. We built entire platforms for dynamic email campaigns for the likes of Home Depot. We designed and built attractive direct marketing solutions for companies like AT&T (we helped launch iPhones for them). Those crazy internet wild west days... I have stories.The team I led held some of the best designers, writers, producers, technologists and thinkers out there.
