>>> What I can do
Luke Sullivan has stated I don't suck as a writer. Anecdote - I have a signed picture that proves it
I've mentored, I've hired - I've even hired mentors
I consider my knack for strategy a staple within my skillset. Anecdote - ask me about leading a strategy session in Shanghai
I'm unique, in that I really enjoy presentations
I can juggle a ton of work, while also remaining efficient and accurate
I've pitched AND won business everywhere I've worked, including an account worth 5 million. Anecdote - ask me how pitching to the government can be . . . something else
Social, OOH, print, TV, radio, video or experiential - You name it, I can write it
I've also been voice talent – (Yes, I have a face for radio)
I'm savvy writing within legal boundaries*
And on occasion, I can be moderately objective in bios
*It’s true.
I’m not the cute one.
