I have an absurdly long history of helping brands be their better selves. Having led creative teams within agencies and on the client-side for the past 20+ years, I know a thing or two about developing strategies that stick.
For the past 16 years, I've been running Sequitur—a boutique brand intelligence agency with clients like OpenTable, Genentech, Twitter, Dolby, Intuit, and ClifBar. Our specialty? Helping growth stage companies navigate and profit from change (all using an approach we call Deep Brand). More on that later.
In the meantime, here's what I'm pretty good at:
Brand Strategy
I'm skilled at helping companies get to know themselves and their customers more deeply—so that they can live their mission, act in alignment around shared principles, and consistently deliver the right experiences.
Storytelling
I'm well-versed in the art of crafting a resonant narrative that people can take in, get behind, and act on. I’m equal parts designer and writer, creative and strategist—and I pride myself on my ability to casually command a room.
Team Leadership
I'm an expert at assembling, managing, and mentoring creative teams of every size. I’m a collaborative leader and coach who can tease out the best and brightest from colleagues and clients alike.
Business Development
I'm deft at cultivating lasting, trust-based relationships with business leaders in a range of different industries. Having run a successful agency since way back in 2004, I know the importance of tending to the bottom line.
Right, so. You name it.
