"I bring a keen insight that helps assess the unique marketing situations of my clients to develop smart, engaging messaging that makes an irrefutable and compelling case for their products and services, or their business as a whole. Often with far greater efficiency and economy. When it comes to getting brands more noticed and standing out in today’s massively cluttered media morass my view is this: You don’t need a bigger hammer. You need a sharper nail."

 

"In other words, bigger isn’t better. Smarter is better."
