First, let me tell you who I am and then I'll "Tarantino" back to how I got here.
Currently, I am a partner and creative director at KinderSong Partners in NYC. Yes, I'm a founding partner. Though I'm finally leading my own team on my own terms I continue to learn and evolve along with the advertising industry and culture as a whole. I love what I do.
My favorite accomplishment: writing, producing and art directing FutureMe, a career makeover show for MTV Europe in order to attract a younger audience for my client, Adecco Staffing. After the show ran, Adecco saw a 500% increase in recruiting.
How'd I get here?
I spent my awkward years in New Jersey learning from two very different influences. I watched my father open Strong Man Building Product Corp and learned practical business skill. My mother's side brought a more artistic sense. After getting a marketing degree at the University of Maryland, I discovered advertising is the perfect blend of my two influences.
A little luck, a lot of energy and my need to constantly learn has led me to advertising experiences in New York, New Jersey, Miami, Washington DC, London and Holland. I've worked on tiny fashion boutique clients and huge corporations like GM, Intel, Nikon and the US Army. And I've insisted on learning every media leaving me with a portfolio balanced with TV, print, radio, outdoor, websites and non-traditional marketing.
And here I am now. In NY, finally working at an agency with my name on the door... recently married... happy as a pig in... Wanna know more? Check out some of my links:
