Not Your Typical... I am not your typical marketing guy; I am not your typical digital marketing guy; and, I am not your typical “green” guy. Basically, I am not typical. What I am is… driven. Driven to find the solutions to complicated problems, driven to deliver exceptional results, and driven to utilize the right marketing tools, not necessarily the ones with the biggest buzz. Marketing is Complicated Today The number of available outlets for spending marketing dollars is exploding, but all of these platforms are not necessarily delivering superior performance. I know social, mobile, SEM and a slew of other digital tools, but I believe in matching the solution to the best available opportunities. There are no shortcuts for doing the hard analysis and testing to determine how to maximize the spend. Green Needs to be Practical And a word about green… I believe in the concept of Practical Green. Basically, an organization should not have to sacrifice functionality, cost , or results to deploy green solutions to their business. It has to make sense for the organization or why should they waste the resources to implement a sustainable program. I like to work with companies that aren’t looking for the “flash” of green, but how to leverage green to achieve superior results. Green marketing is an amazing opportunity, but it needs to be done right. What I Bring an Organization 1) Seasoned leadership and managerial skills that have been tested in good and bad times. 2) Marketing expertise and the ability to combine traditional tools with digital ones to deliver results. 3) Experience guiding entrepreneurial ventures to generate exponential growth.
