I launched an Internet design company because I think the future of marketing is moving to the web and away from the traditional media like print and TV that I have grown up working on. I'm especially interested in combining social marketing with traditional company website content. I think it provides another unique less formal way to speak to clients and it is the trend of communications these days. My own company website is a great example of combining blog software right into the fabric of the website so it all works together to tell the story.

Designed Direct Mail

I was an Associate Creative Director on one of our biggest clients PeoplePC Online. They are a dial up internet provider who was owned by EarthLink. I had two Art Director's that I supervised directly. We created for PeoplePC Online around one million pieces of mail per month searching for new subscribers. We also created and sent interactive communications to their current subscriber's. Also roughly twice a year I concepted and produced two TV spots for them. Other clients I worked on while I was employed there were: Citizens Bank, EarthLink, Bowflex, and Peregrine Software.

I had the pleasure of permalancing at Deutsch for over 3 years. I even went full-time there for awhile. During my tenure there I freelanced on most of the accounts they have, bouncing around from group to group. While I was there I got a chance to work in John Avery's Direct group where I got to learn the finer points of direct mail working on J.D. Edwards. I also got to learn the much coveted car business while working on print for Mitsubishi cars. The other main client I did a lot of work on was Expedia.

I got to work on toy robots from Bandai. What could be better for a guy in his 30's who's still 14 at heart? I also worked on a company that zapped produce with harmless radiation to make it safer to ship. Robots? Radiation? Certainly nothing conventional there.

My boss was Steve Beaumont who always challenged my partner and I to do the best and out of that came a unique campaign from Spree candy for Nestle. I also worked on US West Cellular and Countrywide Home Loans.

Got a chance to work directly for John Doyle on IBM with my partner Ken Segall. My life is complete. I also got to work for Robert Chandler on Microsoft before the juggernaut of IBM hit. And after all that passed I worked on FHP Healthcare and GTE Wireless.

I also completed a Minor in Marketing
