    My Passion For Storytelling

    I am a brand storyteller that writes, creates and produces content, enabling clients to orchestrate, execute and amplify their brand to a global audience. I help for-profit and non-profit service organizations answer the question, “why should you buy or engage with the brand?”

     

    I look for the X-factor (through listening, interviewing and observation) to identify what makes a person, product or company unique, interesting or appealing to target customers. I then collaborate with clients to build upon it -- determining the personal and positioning; storytelling through broadcast, print, social and owned digital channels; finding the right pictures, words and videos; and delivering with great consistency so that consumers expect it.

     

    With a background in television, newspaper, public relations and content production, I have an eye for broadcast, the skills of a writer and a passion for subject matter that translates into communications plans that work. I bring a core belief to my work that honest, authentic and interesting storytelling requires great empathy and is essential to brand survival.
