I work with companies and their brands in conducting the appropriate and necessary research to better understand their category, their customers, their competition and their communication opportunities.
Strategy and originality are paramount to any successful marketing message. My experience covers creating content for a variety of channels including websites, blogs, advertising, social media & business presentations.
While Digital dominates the media industry, marketing communications offers a 360◦ "tradigital" perspective optimizing traditional and digital options of communication customized for each individual project.
The "new" United States of America is here and now is the time to finally "wake up" to our reality. We are not that separated anymore; we are a blend of multicultural and multiracial people in this country (and world).
While marketing is "for all" one specific demographic is dynamic and sought after by companies, marketing firms and the media. This strong, diverse, multigenerational and loyal segment has tremendous impact.
Business Development can be both organic growth and acquiring new business-or both. I have worked with companies and marketing firms in developing strategic plans and tactics to create connection, empathy & trust.
