Don’t you think it’s time we all stopped boo-hooing about our ever-changing brave new world and got on with a solution or two? Yeah, yeah. Print is a dinosaur, nobody’s watching TV, PR’s been found out and advertising is the devil. We get it. Marketing is a conversation. A back-and-forth. Listening as much as talking. And all these conversations are happening in a hundred thousand places. Blah, blah, blibitty-blah. But does the where really matter when the conversation is not something genuine and interesting and exciting that you might actually care about? Maybe even an actual idea? In the end, it’s really not about television or print, yelps or pokes, four squares or a hundred and forty characters. Those are just tactics. And while we know that stuff better than most, more important, we know the goosebumps. If that makes it hard to define us as an ad agency creating three-columns-by-who-cares-how-many-inches or a PR shop or a tech company or, god forbid, so-called social media experts, then so be it. Really, we’re none of those things. And all of them. With a culture not of tactics or production or look-how-smart-we-are-because-we-went-to-this-conference-and-that-webinar, but a culture of thinking up genuine, interesting, exciting – and effective – ideas. Ideas worth talking about.

Recent graduate from Boston University with an MS in Advertising and a hunger for design, advertising and all things related to emerging technologies.

I AM: A laser focused free thinker. Pragmatic dreamer. Tireless researcher who isn’t afraid to go with his gut. Wise with experience and young at heart. Always buttoned up even when wearing flip flops. I BELIEVE: In big ideas not big egos. Our fear of failure must be embraced to achieve true inspiration. It is as important to be nice as it is to be talented. Great creative goes hand in hand with great strategic thinking. All media is social. In keeping it simple. I HAVE HELPED: Time Warner, ESPN, Pennsylvania Tourism, Marriott Hotels, Yosemite National Park, GORE-TEX Apparel, Greater Philadelphia Tourism, The History Channel, Alzheimer’s Association, Comcast SportsNet, Crestor, Mizuno Sporting Goods, American Institute of Architects, MGM Mirage, The National Aquarium in Baltimore and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

As an award winning, agency creative director, branding consultant, sr. copywriter and broadcast producer, I’ve hired and directed all production companies, in-house and freelance graphic designers, web designers, motion effect animators and the top voice over talent in the world. They’re just part of the skill set I’ve already packed to fit into a carry-on. I want to relocate to Boston as my children just moved to the South Side last week and have other family in Quincy, so relocating to the area is key for me and I have a long-term place to stay, while I find my own.
