BUILD A SUCCESSFUL BRAND THROUGH EXPERIENCE

or

BRANDING IS ABOUT SHAPING PERSPECTIVES

Of course, that's easier said than done.

 

Growth comes from radical brand differentiation. Bold moves are what you need. And I have an experience-stacked collaborative creative process that brought radical results to a highly statured category. The fishing category.

 

Read on.

GET RADICAL

about me

ABOUT ME

FROM #1 IN CONTENT TO #1 IN RETAIL

A little about myself.

 

I'm ex-Chief Creative Officer of Catch Co, best known for Mystery Tackle Box. My team supported Catch Co's mission, making fishing accessible to all.

During that time in leadership, my brand and creative content process helped build the Number 1 fishing retail SKU at DSG and Walmart and the most engaged fishing community on Instagram in 2019.

 

My startup background (Series-B 38m Funding) comes with knowing the high highs to the crushing lows of massive growth.

IMPACTFUL MOVES

Content framework and team-building: 130k Instagram followers in 10 months, 12-18 blog posts per month, 60-80 PDP descriptions per month.

 

DTC eCommerce: user experience (voted one of Newsweek's best eComm experiences 2022).

 

Brand Retail: experiential and packaging strategy and design in major chains (DSG, Walmart, Academy).

Content frameworks

Building on the ultimate currency; Attention. The content process left behind the interruption and instead built on the story. One example, 90k TikTok followers in 7 months.
