Every business has a story. How are you telling yours?

Distilling complex ideas and concepts into marketing communications means approaching every project with an open mind.

I’m a right brain person. I don’t do lists very well. My outlines are usually very organic. And, as a non-linear person, I tend to look at the big picture, then work backwards.

Yes, I can create great headlines, catchy slogans, motivating positioning statements, insightful copywriting and humorous radio commercials. I’ve directed graphic designers to create award-winning web and print. And, often we start with a picture and build the copy around it.

But I also believe that the best way to approach your potential customer is by building a marketing program that positions your product or service as the one your customers choose, not the one they are manipulated into wanting. Of course, that’s where my left brain kicks in with budgets, outlines and plans.

We want to build an emotional connection to your organization, your product, your service. That is what builds a brand.

There is no magic “advertising or public relations” bullet

There is no magic marketing bullet.

I’ve been involved in marketing and communications since 1982. And the one thing I’ve learned is there isn’t one magic marketing bullet.
