You may develop award-winning creative for your clients, but if the potential customer doesn’t see it, they fail to complete their objective. Of course, that’s why media research and planning is such a vital element in the success of the total advertising and marketing picture.

Just as there are freelance designers and creatives, I work as a freelance Media Specialist. When you have a special project for a client, a staff member on leave, an emergency client pitch, or you need to expand your department in a pinch, I can help bring ease and stability to your media services department.

I can handle all of the elements of media; the discovery, research, strategy, buying, negotiating, implementation, and account management, etc. All without making the commitment it takes to hire a full time person. It's experienced help when you need it.

A seasoned advertising pro, I develop unique, effective and creative media strategies that are not just noticed, but talked about, clicked on, watched and impossible to ignore. As the complexity of media options multiplies, knowledge and expertise of effective communication vehicles becomes primary. Research, planning, negotiating and implementation are all equally important, and receive my “no-stone-unturned” philosophy. My media programs emphasize brand awareness, market share and growth. They focus on consumer habits and REACHing the target market. These efforts coincide seamlessly and aim to strengthen your client's ROI.

My services are tailored to align with your company’s needs and goals. Working with your direction, I discover and suggest advertising vehicles for your clients that will realize their objectives, then create a media strategy that targets their customer and work to get the most out of their budget.
