Focus strategically. Implement effectively. I help businesses clear away the confusion and clutter of digital and traditional marketing to laser-focus on strategies that result in growth.

My passion for marketing began before I even knew what it was. As a young artist, by 7 or 8 one of my favorite things was to create elaborate amusement parks on paper; each with their own theme that might be something as silly as stuffed animals or vegetables. I would sketch related rides, develop a story about the park, name everything, and create ads. I thought I was just having fun; looking back now I realize I was building branding & marketing plans.

Since then I've worked with companies in numerous industries, of all sizes, from global organizations to nonprofits, entrepreneurs, and everything in between. Along the way have learned best practices and those golden marketing tactics that work no matter the organization size or budget.

My passion is helping entrepreneurs & SMBs develop streamlined, focused marketing strategies that are easy to replicate, save resources of time and money, and offer a great ROI. I take best strategies and practices from the big guys, translated into easy-to-replicate programs for entrepreneurs and small businesses, especially startups, who may have limited budget.

From being Chief Marketing Officer of a $3.5 billion business with nine companies under the corporate umbrella, to owning and running my own businesses, I understand the marketing world inside out. I know how the systems can and should work together to streamline marketing processes.

My company serves as the in-house Marketing Department for SMBs, and solves the problem of small businesses who need the ease and expertise of their own in-house marketing department, but don't have the budget to justify full-time marketing staff.
