This is me.
Hello & welcome to a celebration of me not tripping all over myself.
The simplest explanation of my career would be an Executive Everything Producer who specializes in digital + experiential things.
Over the last few years, I have been freelancing for agencies and brands on a myriad of projects from coast to coast (and Europe). I have produced, consulted and created Virtual and IRL Experiences throughout the pandemic, produced podcasts, TV spots, guerrilla campaigns, made sellable branded products, Digital OOH, interactive video, research & recruited Influencer campaigns, well-designed websites and marketing stunts. Some particular highlights over the last few years was being a production lead on the Bloomberg 2020 Presidential cbid, producing the first TV spots for Mediacom,(a media agency), turning Post Malone into a Pokemon, manufacturing a series of toys overseas for Liquid Death and creating a (working) branded hotel for Hulu.
Agency wise - some highlights include leading Experiential + Digital @ WKNY, acting Director of Digital Production & Creative Innovation at GTB – (agency of record for Ford Motor Company). For 15+ years, I pioneered new approaches to advertising production by leading the charge on platform specific content, real time response creative, reinvigorated their social presence, acted as Experiential SME, established new KPIs and listening systems, as well as built apps & introduced mixed reality to a legacy brands.
Throughout my career I have worked to consistently be a change agent in the production department. I relish the chance to reshape standard thinking and find new solutions for our clients. I’ve spoken on panels at SXSW, IAB, ANA, AICP, 4A's Adweek, etc.
Currently residing in NYC , I have done work for all types of companies (startups, media, PR. standard agencies) and across all verticals and mediums.
Would love to be considered to help with some of your production needs in the near future. I am extremely comfortable working remotely or from your office. Rates and references available upon request.
