Sumário

In a nutshell, I help brands make sure that their "fans" are actually fans, and that people who "like" their content actually like it. My job is to help my clients cut through the clutter and get noticed. We live in an age where putting out a good product isn't enough - people want to have an actual affinity for brands and what they stand for. I'm here to make sure your brands are seen, heard, and loved.


I've been there before, and I will never go back. Please DO NOT contact me to work with big oil, big pharma, or big banks. I am NOT interested.
