Marketing strategy, brand positioning, campaigns & creative direction — I help good ideasfindtheirpeople

I build marketing strategies and campaigns that solve business problems and create cultural relevance. It’s where strategy meets craft.

Philosophy

WhatI Believe

A few principles I’ve learned along the way. The hard way, mostly.

INTENTION

Marketing is matchmaking

Finding the folks who genuinely need what you offer and helping them find you. That’s the whole job.

CLARITY

Clarity beats cleverness

The best work is the simplest, and simple takes the most drafts. It respects your audience.

INSIGHT

The dashboard doesn’t know why

Numbers tell you what happened. Finding out why means talking to actual customers, and no chart does that for you.

ACTION

Perfect someday never ships

A live campaign teaches you more in two weeks than a perfect plan does in two months. Ship it, then improve it.

What I Do

No departments. No account managers between you and the work. Just one strategist who does the thinking and the making, then shows you what the numbers say.

Strategy & Positioning

The homework, done first

Before anything gets made, I figure out what needs to be said, and to whom. Expect audience research and a hard look at the space competitors leave open. No 40-page decks.

Campaigns & Growth

Momentum you can measure

I build and run campaigns that do what marketing should: grow your business. Paid, organic, content. I pick the channel your buyers already live in. And I do my own analytics: I've set up GA4Google Analytics 4: measures who visits a website and what they do there. and Tag ManagerGoogle Tag Manager: installs measurement tags on a site without code changes. from zero and built the Looker dashboards leadership ran the Monday meeting from.

Creative Direction

Taste, applied

Most work gets scrolled past because it looks like everything else. I direct the visual identity and the voice myself, down to the details.

The Process

A path, not a formula

Every brand starts from a different place. The framework bends to fit — some engagements live in strategy for a month, others need creative out the door in two weeks.

01

Discovery

Understanding Your Story

Most of this step is listening. I get into your history, your voice, and what your customers say when you’re not in the room.

Strategy

Charting the Course

I craft a roadmap that connects your goals to your audience: channels, messaging, timing, budget. Short enough that you’ll actually use it.

Creation

Written and Art-Directed Myself

The plan turns into real work. I write and art-direct it myself, and you can hear the difference in the finished thing.

Execution

Run Live, Tuned Weekly

I run the launch and the day-to-day after it, and when a number sags I change course the same week.

Growth

Learning & Scaling

The first month’s numbers always argue with the plan. I put budget behind what’s earning it and cut what isn’t.

Selected Work

Three engagements — one each in strategy, growth, and build — for an enterprise health platform, a therapy practice, and a specialty print shop.

b.well (opens in new tab)

Multi-vertical positioning for an enterprise digital health platform

b.well serves four buyers from one platform (health plans, health systems, life sciences, and consumer health), each with a distinct procurement cycle, regulatory context, and budget owner. I worked on the vertical-segmented messaging system: distinct landing tracks and vertical-specific content, plus ABMAccount-based marketing: aiming campaigns at named companies instead of broad audiences. playbooks tuned to each cycle.

Notes

Enterprise health buyers show up on whatever vertical page a colleague forwarded them. Get those four pages right and the homepage almost doesn’t matter.

new practice online, end to end positioning · local search · consult funnel

Woven Grove Therapy (opens in new tab)

Positioning, site, and consultation funnel for a new depth-oriented therapy practice

A depth-oriented psychotherapy practice opening in Ventura, with a therapist who’d rather talk about attachment theory than search rankings. The work was the whole client-acquisition path: positioning that sounds like her instead of a directory listing, an editorial site with room to breathe, local search done properly, and one unmissable route to a free consultation. Private-practice marketing has an ethics problem: pushy tactics erode exactly the trust a therapist needs. This funnel had to persuade without pushing.

What it took

Notes

Therapy clients don’t comparison-shop twelve practices. They read one page, feel understood or not, and book or leave. The page has to do the listening first.

Two-audience e-commerce engine for a specialty print shop

Image Source serves two completely different audiences from one shop floor: independent artists ordering GicléeMuseum-grade inkjet printing for fine art. Say it “zhee-CLAY.” fine-art reproductions, and national retail brands commissioning hundreds of custom POPPoint-of-purchase: the branded displays and signage you see inside a store. executions a year. I built the e-commerce side as a self-serve catalog for artists and photographers (product pages with material specs, paper-stock guides, file-prep instructions), while keeping the B2BBusiness-to-business: selling to companies rather than to consumers. side a relationship-led inquiry funnel with case studies, testimonials, and direct-to-the-shop contact. Neither audience ever has to wade through the other’s half of the site.

Let’s talk

Got something brewing?

I love hearing about new projects — especially the messy, half-formed ones. Sometimes those are the most interesting.

Two sentences is plenty. I read and answer every one.
