I turn authority into influence & reputation into demand.
I have spent my entire career behind the scenes helping agencies, executives and organizations become more influential.
As Chief Marketing Officer at Bader Rutter, I was brought in to build a more intentional marketing function and expand the reputation of an agency best known for agriculture into a broader national B2B, food, beverage and pet-care conversation. I helped bring its proprietary Mental Equity™ POV to market while building a connected visibility strategy across executive thought leadership, media partnerships, major industry conferences, awards, social media and demand generation.
I helped reposition Creative Theory Agency for its next era. The work gave the agency a clearer market position, a unified language system and a practical growth roadmap for entering new categories without abandoning the cultural credibility that made the agency distinctive.
At Current Group, I helped turn a newly formed agency group into a more coherent market proposition, connecting portfolio strategy, audience insight and original thought leadership to give the business a clearer reason to be chosen. I concepted and led original research on how political polarization and cancel culture are reshaping brand decision-making, then used the findings to spark a provocative PRWeek roundtable at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity (2025).
At Ketchum, I led new business strategy and built knowledge systems for the global communications firm, securing new business with brands including 7-Eleven, Norwegian Cruise Line, Orangetheory Fitness, and Target, while earning three internal awards for new business excellence.
At Allison Worldwide, I helped build a global marketing and editorial engine that generated more than 3.4 billion earned media impressions, 600 new business leads and 200 pieces of original content. I helped turn agency expertise into proprietary platforms the business could credibly own, creating ideas that built reputation, generated demand and opened new paths to revenue.
