Working at the crossroads of technology, creative media, commerce and community, my mission is to bring fans closer to the artists and experiences they love.

Throughout my career I have worked with, and on behalf of, a variety of entertainment artists and brands to help them grow and shape their relationships with their fans. This work has included producing and executive producing dozens of websites, online events and campaigns, film and video projects as well as Grammy-nominated and Clio-winning projects. Even a pair of experiential pop-up retail locations for a global music icon.

As a commentator, I have been featured in Rolling Stone, Billboard Magazine, Hollywood Reporter, Wall Street Journal and many others. My speaking and panelist engagements have included repeat appearances at the Billboard Touring Conference, among others. I am a published writer on both business and cultural topics and am involved as a charity board member and volunteer within my community.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

A&R AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

I will review existing - or catalogue and digitize - archives and assets to build products and monetization strategies from your works. Physical, digital, direct-to-consumer, or globally distributed - whatever is right for your art, audience and objectives. I understand an artist’s work and its worth are profoundly personal. I create opportunities right for you.

MULTIMEDIA & EVENT PRODUCTION

The CDs, DVDs,. vinyl records, box sets, films, television sites, websites, mobile campaigns, and live events I have produced for my clients and partners have been nominated and won dozens of awards, including Grammys, Clios, Webbys, “Best of” Film Festivals, as well as marketing and event professional industry awards.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

The worlds of culture, entertainment and technology are ever-and-rapidly evolving. New opportunities and challenges, partners and competitors, emerge every day. With the consistent introduction of new revenue streams, distribution channels, partners and competitors, the possibilities grow, but so does the complexity. I will chart a course with you.

RECRUITING SUPPORT

The startup and small business marketplace has an insatiable need for human talent. I can help you define roles and then recruit and fill positions at all organizational levels and most disciplines, leveraging 30 years of colleagues and contacts. If I cannot, one of my specialized partner firms can.

PARTNERSHIPS & BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

The way people consume entertainment is constantly in flux; partnerships, strategy and deal flow must adapt quickly. I anticipate these changes so you can focus more on being creative or building your business. I employ finesse, strategic thinking and empathy in all of my deal-making.

STORYTELLING & MEDIA TRAINING

Journalists worldwide trust me as sources and for referrals. I will craft the messaging for you that will resonate with this global community, the ones who can help get your story out there - and show you how to get these people to pay attention to and feature you online, in print, on podcasts and at conferences and events.
