Hire the Best Slogans Specialists in Chicago, IL

I am a proven creative director with the business acumen to deliver solutions from both sides of the brain. A hybrid who honed my skills navigating the many layers of a big agency, before finding my passion - spearheading revenue growth in emerging businesses. Now I thrive getting as close to the problem as possible, working with startups, internal marketing teams and small shops. Building brands and evangelizing them across the entire organization. Operationalizing the idea with an engagement strategy designed to hit the metrics that move the business. Optimizing the customer experience to make sure it connects with the right message at the right moment. Briefs are great, but business goals, growth strategies and exit plans are where things really get interesting. Someone once told me, "Brands tend to take on the personalities of their caretakers." I have spent my career trying to be the type of person you should trust with yours. Creative. Courageous. Curious. Kind.

I unearth the confidence that makes brands win — and a system which created 3 billion viral views for a variety of verticals says I know what that looks like. Did Starbucks have to go with a wooden stirrer instead of plastic? No. But they know everything matters. Your brand needs systems that work flawlessly — so your content can do the job it was built to do. No more buttons that lead to a 404 page, landing pages that take 3 seconds to load, pixels and tags that don't fire. All of that destroys consumer confidence. 3 billion viral views across earned and paid doesn't happen without the whole system working. Are you ready to build something people actually feel? Advertising agencies who clients hire, hire me to build their strategy, brand books, and pitch decks — the ones they put their name on. When the work has to be right, that's the call they make. 25 years across every major marketing discipline. Client side and agency side. One person. Full ownership. No handoff gaps. No agency markup. You can also find me building the infrastructure behind the marketing. AI agents, automation workflows, and systems in N8N, Docker, and Make — because strategy that can't be operationalized is just a deck.

I bring Fortune 500‑level creativity to businesses of every size. I'm an award-winning copywriter who learned my lessons well at global ad agencies Leo Burnett, Foote Cone & Belding, and BBDO. As the first American chosen to participate in BBDO's International Exchange Program, I spent the better part of a year living & writing in Sydney, Australia (Very cool). ​ I co-founded and was creative director for DaVinci & Poe, a small financial services ad agency. My extensive banking experience eventually led me to walk behind the client curtain as a senior copywriter at Bank of America's international in-house ad agency. From startups and established brands to B2C & B2B, I've written in a myriad of digital & traditional formats: digital, social media, websites, print ads, OOH, TV & radio commercials, video scripts... My industry sectors & brands have also been quite extensive: McDonald's, P&G, Frito-Lay, Pepsi, Coors, Phillips Petroleum, CDW, Borden Dairy, Allstate Insurance, Compass Healthcare, Baird & Warner, Concordia University... Thanks to my unconventional brain wiring and multi-dimensional career path, I thrive at creative thinking, both inside and outside the box. I’m skilled at concepting, strategizing, and brainstorming, with a distinctive flair for storytelling and wordplay. All this, plus my many years studying Improv acting, not only helps me capture a brand’s unique voice but also strengthens my ability to craft compelling, human-focused copy.
