Social Micro Stories
"Kings Never Worry"
Part of a proposal for two large campaigns for Unilever Clear Shampoo, Singapore, our men's product goal was to inspire customers to apply to become a tester and share socially by appealing to their desire for a strong, masculine self-image along with professional competence and prestige coupled with a healthy dose of humor.

"Vote John Cogswell"
A Yale BA, a stint in the Marines, training as a Navy JAG and 50 years of law practice has prepared John Cogswell for national leadership, but someone has to tell the story. We created a web presence in record time on budget to break through the noise with earned media in local and regional newspapers with combined circulation of over 250,000 - one quarter of Iowa's households when their attention was most in demand by top tier presidential candidates. Now, John swims with the sharks.

Advocate
A trade organization wanted to highlight the powerful work they were doing by bringing decision makers together and greasing the wheels of progress in Colorado Adtech. I produced, scripted and directed this piece and teamed up with one of my production partners to make it happen. They did fantastic work getting high energy visuals and sound, and my editor took it from there.

As Showrunner, I've conceived, written, produced, directed and marketed our 30 min. documentary pilot and series called “StartupStory” - an episodic documentary series and entrepreneurial brand built on hard won experience and the principle that everyone is meant to live an extraordinary life.
