Before he changed the world as a Beatle, John Lennon was one of The Quarrymen.
Before he was a Hall of Fame quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, Brett Favre was an Atlanta Falcon.
Today, I’m looking for my next team. After two years at PRstore corporate HQ, I’ve become a free agent.
It’s been a heckuva ride with PRstore (and they’ve got a heckuva team). We’ve helped hundreds of clients go from “Ho-hum” marketing to “Oh, wow!” Drummond Builders in Columbus got a website they can call home. Ben Levitan in Raleigh got the research he needs to grow his business. Academy of the Sacred Heart in Michigan got a tagline they could build a 50th Anniversary celebration around.
Alas, it’s time for a new challenge. It’s time to grow.
“What Can This Guy Do for Me?”
Here’s my skill: I teach companies how to tell their stories. I help them discover their voice and listen to their audience. And then — and this is the magic part — I help weave their stories with their customers’ stories to build a community around their brand.
A lofty vision, sure, but nobody ever changed the world by thinking small.
Need more detail? Here’s a glimpse at a few of the tricks up my sleeve:
- Marketing and PR Strategy
- Message, Message, Message
- Social Media: What, Where, When, Why and How?
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Online Reputation Management
- Monitoring Conversations About Your Brand Online
- Customer Engagement
- Leadership/Management
- Coalition/Partnership Building
There’s more, to be sure — this is just a starting point.
How to Get Involved
Here’s my need: Be my eyes and ears. Know a team looking to complete its roster? Email me or Tweet me. Feel free to send ‘em my LinkedIn profile.
If you’re the person building the roster, let’s connect. I’d love to see if there’s a fit.
Agencies, non-agencies, government or non-profit — I’m versatile. And if I’m not the fit for you, I’d be happy to see if someone in my network is. Let’s get creative!
