Advocacy, artfully, for blue chip brands.

Through Focus

Change is a certainty. For some companies this creates chaos, for others, opportunity. I've helped world-class AND start-up brands separate corporate perceptions from public realities to uncover the "essential truths" behind their products and services. 

Improve Your Focus

Clarity

I deliver your essential truth through a big idea that is brief, bold and clear. One that touches the zeitgeist of your market so that people talk about it organically. The more buzz the idea generates, the less you need to spend on TV advertising, radio, PPC and content.

Enhance Your Clarity

and dimension

A big idea has legs. It must be strong enough to anchor a campaign across multiple media channels and every touchpoint your brand engages. Dimensional ideas keep customers, culture vultures, social pundits, and the general press invested in your story. 

Expand Your Dimensions

How do you find the art in an artificial future?

I wrote the book

 "Awareness Without Advertising. Brand Advocacy in the Age of AI." was one of the first advertising blueprints published post Chat GPT 4. It offers a definitive perspective on how to keep your brand real as the world goes artificial. Updated from the first edition with 100 additional pages, it's been called "essential reading*" for anyone engaged in advertisng, design and PR.

In 2025, branding without buzz is just conversation. Of all the ways to measure creative output, earned media and industry recognition makes brands relevant (see partial lists). That's why I have spent the past 25 years directing TV commercials, writing ads, shooting pictures and ringleading creative circuses to activate over a million brand advocates. Because nothing else measures up.
