"MARKETING IS NO LONGER ABOUT

THE STUFF THAT YOU MAKE, BUT ABOUT

THE STORIES YOU TELL."

"Branding" and "Marketing" are dying umbrella terms. 

I specialize in creating true "lovemarks," that is, brand identities that entice customer connection and loyalty far beyond short-term satisfaction. I create brand stories that strategically captivate and engage customers by tapping into their emotional interests to build trust, respect and lifetime brand allegiance. (Quote: Seth Godin)
