Public Relations
How do you get your story in front of your audience as editorial content instead of just in an ad? What's the difference between earned media and paid media? Is social media the new word-of-mouth advertising? Let's talk about how to get people talking about you.
Audio and Video
Audio and Video
Radio commercials, promotional videos, and television commercials: these are a few of my favorite things. However, while sometimes audio and video pieces are very effective, other times they may simply be a waste of your budget. Let's talk about what you need to best meet your communications goals.
Digital
Digital
Having built my first website in 1996, I've been involved in web development and online marketing for a long time. Let's talk about what your communications goals are and how the web, social media, search engine optimization, and Google Ads can be used to best tell your story.
Photography
Photography
I'm not a photographer and I don't play one on T.V. But I do know what a difference good photography can make in setting a tone and telling a story. Let's talk about what you need and I'll get one of my photographer friends to help us capture it in images.
Writing
Writing
From advertising copywriting and public relations to website material and social media content, I'm ready to write for you. Let's work together to put your story into words. (For this service area, I've done my best to stay away from puns like "I've got the write stuff" and "you can stop looking for Mr. Write." Oh, wait, sorry.)
Design
Design
From layout to logos, design is a vital part of any marketing communications. It can instantly establish credibility and make a positive statement about your brand—or it can do just the opposite. Let's talk about what your current look says about you and what we can possibly do to improve the message.
