Every company has a story. But finding it can be difficult. Expressing it, and in a way that moves people, can be harder still. In my 20+ years in marketing and advertising, I’ve been privileged to help brands large and small do just that.
From websites to video, articles to social media, blogs to branding, I’ve honed client stories into the right shape for the right audience at the right time. Client collaborators have included leaders like Intel, JELD-WEN, Builders FirstSource, CenturyLink, Habitat for Humanity, NW Natural, and Portland General Electric. I've also worked with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from Cambodia to Zimbabwe on a range of initiatives.
Are you looking to inspire your audience? Together, we can amplify your story and drive change that makes a difference for your organization.
