While I have supported organizations across a wide range of initiatives, my expertise is in writing and managing SBIR/STTR proposals for NIH, NSF, the DOT and other cooperating agencies. These complex submissions (and resubmissions) require more than just highly advanced writing skills. They also require extreme attention to detail, project and personnel management skills, and the ability to translate and synthesize complex information. With over eight years of experience in federal granting, I have honed these skills to secure more than $14M for my clients. My win rate falls between 40-65%. Several SBIR/STTR contracts ended before award notification, so this range accounts for that ambiguity. Recent SBIR/STTR submission history: I. DOT (multiple administrations): Phase I & II: 6 submissions (4 initial, 2resubmissions) — ~$3.7M secured II. NIH (multiple administrations) Phase I & II: 8 submissions (3 initial, 5 resubmissions) —~$5.1M secured III. NSF Phase I & II: 4 submissions (2 initial, 2 resubmissions) — ~$5.2M secured. I have not yet worked on Fast-Track or Strategic Breakthrough Phase II applications. I also have experience at the state and local government levels having secured funding through the IMLS, the U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, and the NC Department of Juvenile Justice. Platforms & Registrations: SAM.gov (new registrations and renewals) Grants.gov eRACommons SBA registration systems NIH SciENcv (including Biosketch completion) Research.gov & others. Through an initial meeting and intake process, I learn about your organization and then tailor my Scope of Work to fit your organization’s needs. No matter where you are in the process, we can schedule a free introductory call to discuss your ideas or strategy. I look forward to hearing from you.

I'll build your strategy, write your ads, buy your media, and read the analytics. Then I'll do it again faster. Most businesses don't need an agency. They need one senior person who does all of it. That's the job. I'm a Fractional CMO and Creative Director with 30 years across strategy, creative, performance marketing, media buying, and AI. I've worked on Citi, Comcast, Coca-Cola, Memorial Sloan Kettering, and The Plaza Hotel. I won an International ANDY Award. I taught at the School of Visual Arts. I wrote the book on programmatic media. Not metaphorically. There's an ISBN. What I actually do for clients: Marketing strategy and positioning. Brand identity and messaging. Go-to-market planning and execution. Google Ads, Meta Ads, programmatic media buying. Creative direction, ad copywriting, landing pages. Email marketing and Klaviyo automation. SEO, content strategy, social media. AI workflow integration that replaces roles, not just tasks. Account-based marketing and outbound systems. Creative testing systems producing 20-50 ad variants per month. Recent results: • 35% year-over-year revenue growth for a restaurant and entertainment venue. Built everything from scratch in 120 days as their entire marketing department. Active retainer. • CPA reduced 50% for a fintech company after auditing their agency, finding them billing $5K/month for an hour of work, and rebuilding across five channels. • +250% qualified leads and +314% media efficiency for a financial services firm by building a compliant creative testing system within regulatory guardrails. • Built an AI class recommendation engine for a $5M yoga studio chain years before ChatGPT existed. Revenue up, spend down. • 9.46% conversion rate for a private school enrollment campaign using geofencing, programmatic microtargeting, and 21-day attribution modeling. • Named a health tech startup, built the brand and pitch deck, got them into UF Innovate. Materials supported a clinical trial at a major research hospital. How I work: Monthly retainer. No contracts. 30 days, either side can walk. No percentage of ad spend. No agency markup on media. I'm one person, I move fast, and I own the outcomes. You get a senior operator who does the thinking and the doing, not a strategist who hands you a deck and wishes you luck. I specialize in businesses that need a full marketing department but can't justify or don't want the overhead of building one. If you've fired your agency, outgrown your freelancers, or the CEO is still doing the marketing at midnight, that's my client. Industries I've worked across: SaaS, fintech, CPG, food and beverage, wellness and fitness, private education, healthcare, nonprofit, real estate, fashion, entertainment, and startups from pre-revenue to Series A.
