I help businesses develop their marketing strategy.
Portland, Oregon Area
I help businesses with their marketing strategy and advise them on building relationships in today’s hyper-social marketplace.
I earned my marketing stripes in the Silicon Valley during the dot-com boom (and subsequent bust), where I learned how technology and marketing work together. And sometimes how they don’t.
Why should you listen to me? Good question. Here are a few things I’ve done.
* 10+ years helping technology and consumer companies develop their marketing and branding strategies.
* Designed and managed opt-in email programs with millions of customers. (That’s opt-in as in permission, not spam).
* Served as a Direct Marketing Manager and a Product Manager.
* Wrote a popular marketing guide (over 6,000 downloads… and counting).
* Posed for an action figure that was featured in a national ad campaign. (OK, that’s not a good reason, but it’s funny).
