Experience

Logos_BW.jpg

For more than 20 years, I’ve created compelling and engaging content for a wide range of local, national and global accounts in categories including consumer products, financial services, wireless communications, automotive, pharmaceuticals, travel and retail.

Since the beginning of my freelance career in January 2016, I’ve developed successful creative platforms and advertising campaigns for both agencies and companies. I’ve also led successful new business pitches. My freelance experience includes campaigns across all media in automotive, quick service restaurant, technology, healthcare, tourism, CPG, pharmaceutical and other categories.

While at Leo Burnett in Chicago, I managed the Allstate Insurance account and supervised a staff of over 30. Additionally, I was responsible for the Hallmark Cards and Sprint (brand) accounts.

I spent 14 years at BBDO New York working on nearly all of the agency’s accounts—including AT&T Wireless, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Tropicana, Mitsubishi Automobiles, Duracell, Lay’s, Charles Schwab, Dupont Stainmaster and AOL. For four years, I managed all the brands within the Hyatt Hotels portfolio as well as their loyalty program and branded credit card.

I started in Minneapolis and worked at a variety of agencies on various accounts including Target, The Peace Corps, Arctic Cat, Victory Motorcycles, Ethanol, a couple banks, several restaurants, a couple shopping malls and a casino.
