Communications Consultant and Contractor
Pocatello, Idaho Area
I'm a writer, someone who enjoys telling stories and helping other people tell their stories. In some shape or form, I've worked in marketing for seven years. If I'm not challenged, I'm bored. To keep boredom at bay, I've gained experience in range of industries including: internet start-up, software development, state government, pharmacy benefit management (PBM), consumer goods, and home automation. My tastes are eclectic, but they make learning new things easy.
My career includes both strategic and task execution positions. I've also managed a marketing group and acted as the in-house liaison for an external sales force. I'm excellent at managing the details, but have no problem seeing the bigger goal.
At present, I offer my consulting services to help clients figure out their marketing strategy and brand. When necessary, my writing and design skills can assist with the production of both print and digital collateral. I also publish a blog called "Bold Words" that analyzes the words and concepts people use to describe their bold ideas, both new and old. (http://boldwords.wordpress.com)

I help people tell their stories and establish a marketing strategy and brand. I'm particularly interested in blending traditional media with interactive options. I also produce content for presentations, user manuals, proposals, web sites, and other marketing materials. On the design side, I assist clients with the production of print and digital communication collateral.
