For as long as I can remember, I have loved the creative side advertising. At first, it was because of the art and the anthropological nature of the business—I was always fascinated with human behavior and what motivates people—but, as time passed, I also fell in love with the business side of marketing. The so-called boring, analytical numbers side that, in many ways, influences the direction of the creative strategy. Like a good song that perfectly balances the rhythm, melody and lyrics, I came to understand that the creative process can, and should, be applied to the business strategy as much as to the creative work itself. I have worked with marketing and sales organizations from small technology start-ups to Fortune 1000 companies to meet and exceed their goals. While I’ve won numerous advertising design and creative awards, the bottom line is always about increasing brand value and sales revenues. Some clients include: PayPal, Tellabs, eBay, Orbitz for Business, Kodak, Komatsu, and ServiceMaster, to name a few.
