Gregory Ng’s Summary

I believe strategic marketing and breakthrough creative can fall under one roof. Most of the time you get a great designer with the idea that slapping a phone number on the ad makes it direct response or a brilliant marketer who can't break outside Times Roman and indented paragraphs. It is possible to have a strategic mind AND an eye for persuasive design.

I am a direct marketer with a classically-trained graphic design background. I develop effective, integrated, results-driven marketing programs for Fortune 500 clients.

I have worked with financial clients like Bank of America, American Express, Fidelity Investments, TRowe Price, and Chase. Or high tech clients like Dell, Microsoft, and Cognos.

My experience spans across all marketing communications channels (internal and external) including: mail, collateral, brand identity, interactive, broadcast, print, out-of-home, and events. I am also a social media strategist with experience in viral internet marketing, social networking, web promotions, SEO, and paid search.

As an accomplished blogger in the tech, marketing, and parenting fields, I have published over 1000 articles online and have written on subjects ranging from hacking your iPhone to how to change a diaper. My articles have been covered by all the top Tech and Apple websites including: The New York Times, Wired’s Gadget Lab, The Unofficial Apple Weblog, Fake Steve Jobs, Daring Fireball, and iLounge.

As Chelvis, The Chinese Elvis, I was a cultural phenomenon started by an inside joke and ending with a website attracting over a million hits, a story on BBC, and a mention on various news channels around the world.

Most recently, I host a daily web show called Freezer Burns. I publish reviews of frozen foods as the self-proclaimed "Frozen Food Master" at www.FreezerBurns.com.
