I AM AN AWARD-WINNING INTEGRATED CREATIVE DIRECTOR WITH EXPERIENCE IN PROMOTION, SHOPPER, DIGITAL AND BRANDING. I STARTED IN TRADITIONAL ADVERTISING AS A COPYWRITER AT GREY AND NW AYER. I DISCOVERED THE WORLD OF INTEGRATED IN 1998 AND NEVER LOOKED BACK. FROM G2 TO RYAN PARTNERSHIP TO CATAPULT, I LOVE HOW INTEGRATED ASSIGNMENTS ALLOW ME TO DEVELOP THE RIGHT IDEA AND THEN BRING IT TO LIFE IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE WITHOUT BEING RESTRICTED TO ONLY SOCIAL OR SHOPPER, TECHNOLOGY OR TARGETED MEDIA OR... ANYTHING. IT'S AN APPROACH THAT HAS HELPED ME WIN A SLEW OF NEW BUSINESS, A BOAT LOAD OF AWARDS, AN IMPRESSIVE SALES RECORD FOR CLIENTS AND AN AMAZING LEVEL OF EXCITEMENT FOR WHAT I DO EVERY DAY.
