The Firestarter
Portland, Oregon Area
What does it mean to be a Firestarter? I use ideas, enthusiasm and ambition to develop unique marketing programs and collaborative, highly successful teams.
My skill set is unique among marketing professionals, incorporating not only marketing and communications, but also copywriting, graphic design, media relations, photography, brand and positioning strategy, presentations and client development.
I am also known for being the “idea vending machine” and executing high-profile marketing plans on small budgets.
Media relations, unique marketing, presentations, brand positioning and business development.
I deliver this expertise through Colliers University, where I teach Media Relations, Touch-Point Campaigns (direct marketing to build individual brand identity), Marketing Tools, and six other courses to students from more than 20 countries, both online and at Colliers' global training camp.
