About Me

What I Know:

Compelling copy matters EVEN MORE in the age of post-modern media. Quality images and videos can be bought but voice and message motivate everything.

Language is underprotected and underappreciated. 

Your social strategy 110% depends on your intent and your audience. Not trends. Never trends, really.

"Best Practices" are often bullshit crafted by one marketer or exec to swerve competition or make themselves seem relevant and if you want to know what works, you better start asking questions and answering them for yourself.

Great content marketing is really just a conversation between two personas - the brand and the consumer - who have a mutual interest. The amount of "flash" & jazz hands added to that conversation is either driven by the persona or by desperation. Don't let it be the latter.

The position does not need to be in-house. Being in your office will not make the work better nor the employee better at the work. Everything about the way we source, recruit, interview, on board, retain, and evaluate employees is systemically damaged.
