“Some of these conversations ended in a sale, but don’t let that fool you. The sale was merely the exclamation mark at the end of the sentence.”

Doc Searls and David Weinberger, The Cluetrain Manifesto

Before you start thinking about investing in new technology or pivoting to the latest new shiny revenue stream — you need to know who you’re trying to reach and engage; what you want them to do when you connect with them; and what your benchmarks for success are. Without clearly defining those first, you’re potentially wasting time and money on hunches and hype, at best, and definitely falling behind your competition and goals.

I am an entrepreneurial media and marketing professional with multi-platform experience working with a wide range of companies and business models in different verticals. I specialize in building strong relationships with communities, colleagues, and clients — particularly during transformative and disruptive moments — to engage audiences more effectively, in alignment with specific business goals and key performance metrics.
