Picture this: circa 2002...a six-year-old with an old VHS-C camcorder, herding family and friends into the spotlight for indie homemade movies. That was me, on the cusp of a lifelong love affair with storytelling through video & media. Fast forward to my college years at Columbia College Chicago, where I charged headfirst into the world of Television & Media. At the student-run TV station, I wore many hats as a Project Coordinator, Executive Producer and Video Producer/Editor. At the age of 21, the web-based talk-show I was the Executive Producer for, “The 30 with Joshua Short”, was nominated for a NATAS Midwest Student Emmy. Since graduating, I've been on a journey filled with diverse projects and roles—videographer, director, producer, social media guru, event planner, sparkle fairy, you name it! But what truly fills my heart with joy is the chance to collaborate and create with like-minded individuals and community members. Whether it's creating heartwarming wedding videos or breathing life into a local café's online presence, I pour my heart and soul into every piece of content.Marketing Strategy

Portfolio : Some items can be viewed below - Please message me for a link to my full portfolio. Due to Upwork restrictions, my link cannot be posted here. My main focus over the years has been graphic design and photography, as well as a side of marketing. Every aspect of a creative field appeals to me, though my creative side has always been balanced out by my curiosity of the business world. And that’s how I’d like to think I ended up where I am. I love to create beautiful but functional pieces of art. Whether that function is to be hung on a wall or to drive customers to a website and connect them with a brand and product. I love it all. Any print or web job, big or small is welcome. I have a passion for publications and website design - with experience in many areas beyond those. If your project requires a new area to explore, I will excitably research new solutions and work with you to come up with the best design possible. My Philosophy The world is full of visual messages and lately the media has been on a mission to deliver a sensory overload. I feel it is my mission as an artist to create visually appealing work to give back a little to the world around me. Design, photography and marketing are not simply putting words and imagery together, nor are they a way to shout information at a consumer until they listen. They are a way of expressing information that is both useful and appealing to a viewer and the sender. When someone comes across information that visually captures their attention amongst the noise of every day life, that information is retained. And in my book, that is a successful piece of art.

While I do know Google Data Studio, Tableau and PowerBI, my main tool of choice is Domo.

They brought me in, I hooked up different data sources like Google Analytics, Google Ads, Bing, etc and now those reports update each day and some update every 15 minutes. Not only did this save time for the analyst, but that allowed the analyst to spend time analyzing instead of stitching together reports.

Hey I'm Sion (sounds like "Shawn"), and I make tech products shine with the right strategy and the right words. I spent 16+ years in the tech industry as a Product Marketing Leader, and now I'm using that experience to help companies who are doing big, exciting things, but need help talking about it. Recently I've worked on projects in the areas of SaaS, fintech, cloud workspaces, electric vehicle charging, cybersecurity, computer vision modeling, and more. I love making the complex simple. I specialize in bringing new web apps, mobile apps, and other tech products to market, as well as enhancing the appeal of existing products. And that entails much more than just writing copy. As an experienced Product Marketing Strategist, I first develop the product positioning and messaging structure that's going to capture your intended audience, and then flesh out the story with compelling copy. I have vast experience with both B2B and B2C tech products. I'll work with your marketers, designers, and developers to boost product adoption with a website or landing page pitch that converts, drive user engagement with smart in-app labels and notifications, and add overall finesse with microcopy and tooltips. Together, we'll make your tech platform as enticing and easy to use as TurboTax (if you know, you know).
