Michael Calienes’s Summary
Over the past 19 years, I've worked on virtually every communications medium imaginable in both English and Spanish languages. From direct mail and online for General Motors, Discovery Channel Latin America, and SOL Sotheby’s to print and television for Nextel and NorthernLight.com, I've helped clients craft their unique brand voice, and helped make their message stick. My work has been awarded locally, nationally, and internationally at Addys, Hatch, CMYK, Print Magazine, One Show, and the Webbys.
Today, I spend most of my time helping clients create a ubiquitous (relatively speaking, of course) and increasingly relevant presence designed to facilitate online communication and engagement with their intended audiences.
I used to label myself as someone in advertising, marketing, and sometimes even public relations, but we've all wholeheartedly embraced new, uncharted territory that traditional terms are no longer equipped to contain.
We are in the business of engineering presence. We are presence engineers.
