Marketing, marketing, marketing... it's all about marketing.
Marketing is telling your story clearly and remarkably to as many of the right people as possible.

Marketing involves design, communication, business experience, leveraging technology... and packaging it all in a way that sets you apart from the average. It's far more than logos and copywriting. It's a mindset about your business.

First and foremost, I am a MARKETER. Over two decades of business, design and technology experience allow me to bring a broad and cohesive power to my marketing vision. While most people must rely on separate individuals for design, artistic creativity, communications, technology as well as adding a "marketing person" to combine it all... I've been blessed with opportunity and experience to have all this flow out of one mind. Because of that, I have a rare perspective: I can see how all aspects of marketing inter-connect and work together as a whole.

It is this blend of professional skills and experience that gives me a truly unique ability to help others tell their story in a remarkable way.

I have been doing professional visual design for over 25 years. Layout, formatting, graphics, covers, sales pages, web pages, blog design, book design, sales collateral, logos, billboards, booth design... just about any type of design you can think of. Remarkable, clean, powerful visual appeal is my hallmark.

My strongest attribute is to listen to a client's vision, evaluate it through my experience in business and marketing - then bring to life a visual design (branding, graphics, logos, photography, etc) that best communicates that vision to their market.

A great looking project is ineffective without excellent structural and functional design. Functional design is important to all aspects of creative work:

• Building a website correctly and to industry standards with clean code and well planned infrastructure
• A print project put together efficiently and cleanly with the correct software, ready for the printing and production process
• A complex Word, Powerpoint or Excel document created using the correct functions and techniques so the document is usable and functional
• Sales letters and copywriting with the correct format and structure for the most professional result

Clean, properly constructed design is essential to excellent presentation, easy management and trouble free revisions.

The Internet offers endless opportunity to increase your presence and exposure to both business and the public. While one person cannot possibly be an expert in all things "Internet", here are the areas that I have extensive experience and expertise:

• Websites & Blogs
• Search Engine Marketing and Optimization
• Social Media - Facebook, Twitter
• Internet Marketing
• Email Subscription Lists & Campaigns

For over a decade, I have helped people leverage the Internet both professionally and personally. I can examine and evaluate your business, product or idea and help you determine the possibilities that exist online.

Being creative or technically proficient does not automatically mean the best design,  the most effective marketing plan or the best functional approach is a given. 25 years of business experience gives me a full understanding how businesses are built and grown.  I've driven marketing, online presence and branding for many types of businesses: sales, medical, small retail, construction, professional, etc.

• Various positions of operation and leadership ranging from operations, marketing, information systems, development and design.
• Owned my own businesses for over 15 years
• Started many businesses from the ground up
• Help positions at all levels of business from employee to top leadership
• Have developed a very wide range of business experience from clients across numerous industries and of varying sizes

As a nationally published author - both traditional and self-published - I have been writing and communicating publically for over a decade. I have written literally millions of words in marketing collateral, on web pages and blogs, in books and magazines, articles, stories, email and sales materials.  New company names, taglines, concise descriptions, marketing themes... I've developed countless communication and branding ideas for businesses.
Effective writing, professional communication, remarkable verbal imagery is rare today and sets apart the excellent from the average.

I can help you create new content or evaluate/rework your existing content. Writing and communication is perhaps what I am most passionate about.
