Equal parts strategist and creative, I believe that clear thinking is the heart of powerful writing — and I’ve committed my 25-year career to both.

Projects

Orijen Brand Strategy

A pack leader in premium dog food, Orijen had aggressive competition nipping at its tail. As a consultant to the Brand and Consumer Insights teams, I led strategy and stimulus development for qualitative research spanning the US and Canadian markets. The result: a distinctive and defensible refreshed positioning to propel the brand forward.

DispatchHealth Strategy & Communications

As a consultant to the DispatchHealth Brand Marketing and Comms teams, I led brand strategy and personality refinement to set the stage for effective communication during rapid scaled growth. Jumping off from this foundation, I directed a full-scale overhaul of content strategy and execution for the company’s website.
