MARKET RESEARCH
Great brands have empathy for the unmet needs of consumers. They have a pulse on culture and are masterful about interpreting how their brand fits in. I leverage all of this to differentiate and position brands from their competitors.
INSIGHTS/IDEAS
All the research and data in the world can't replace great creative thinking. As an innovator, I don't just do research for research sake. I put myself in the shoes of the consumer, interpret what all the research means, have original ideas, and consider every angle.
COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY
What's the big idea that will shape consumer perceptions of our brand? I look for advertising solutions that will burnish the brand in the mind of the consumer in more creative, relevant, and dynamic ways.
