I connect your brand promise to your commercial outcomes. My work spans the full lifecycle, from initial awareness to long-term retention, extracting "human moments" from raw data to create narratives that drive action.
Journey Mapping: Creating comprehensive buyer journey strategies that fill the gaps your competitors are missing.
Channel Integration: Building frameworks across search, site content, and social that move audiences through decision journeys.
Narrative Extraction: Shaping raw insights into persona-specific content that makes your audience feel seen and understood.
Strategy is about making choices, not just lists. I don't rely on generic templates or AI-generated prompts; I draw on 20 years of patterns learned from brands like Microsoft, Nissan, AT&T and SuperValu Foods to build roadmaps grounded in deep discovery.
Discovery & Research: Stakeholder interviews, competitive audits, and user research that define the actual problem before we build a solution.
Prioritization Frameworks: Turning ambiguous business needs into a clear, phased path forward that aligns your team and protects your budget.
KPI Alignment: Defining the measurable outcomes that connect your digital experience to your commercial goals.
Without a model, your CMS is just a "sophisticated junk drawer." I build the underlying infrastructure, including the operating models, editorial workflows, and quality standards that allow your team to produce high-caliber work at scale without the chaos.
Governance Models: Defining ownership, taxonomy standards, and lifecycle rules so your content remains an asset, not a liability.
Workflow Optimization: Designing the editorial and production workflows that eliminate "shadow systems" and bridge the gap between Marketing and IT.
Content Modeling: Building structured content architectures that enable faster production and cross-platform reuse.
Go-live is not the destination; it’s Day One of the real project. I help CMOs and VPs of Marketing fix the quiet, predictable failures that kill CMS performance in the months after launch.
Post-Launch Audits: Deep-dive analysis of your existing content ecosystem to identify and fix structural debt.
Skills Assessment: Review, analyze and identify gaps in your team's skills so you can direct professional development in alignment with your organizational goals.
Team Enablement: Setting your internal team up to succeed with the platform they’ve been handed, ensuring advanced features like personalization and automation don't go unused.
Agency models often prioritize billable hours and junior-level execution. I offer the direct, senior-level rigor of someone who has scaled a 35-person practice and managed eight-figure portfolios. You aren't paying for an agency layer; you are paying for 20 years of expertise applied directly to your organization’s toughest digital hurdles.
If you are looking for a seasoned digital veteran who is actually enjoyable to work with, let us connect. I promise I am someone you will look forward to meeting with...most of the time.
