Digital Media Consultant, Communications Strategist, and Digital Signage Analyst
Greater Philadelphia Area
From consulting to a multi-billion dollar health system on how to improve its internal communications to introducing groundbreaking mobile technology to the NBA, my background and experience make me uniquely qualified to usher new communication platforms into all types of businesses.
As a communications strategist and technology specialist, my talents extend to the fields of mobile marketing, social media, and emerging Web applications. My strategic and creative skills have been leveraged in media projects for a diverse range of clients, including Bon Jovi’s Arena Football League team and cable network A&E.
From interactive mobile technology to the real-time Web and social networking, I bring a fresh perspective to the digital signage industry. I am a tireless explorer of the opportunities that exist at the convergence point of media and technology. This is evidenced in my blog Digital Signage Insights, which focuses on digital signage and emerging technology’s role in media, retail, and enterprise businesses.
