About

Get better every day. Continuous improvement is the outcome of a strategically planed and executed marketing program.

I spent 25 years in corporate marketing where I was a marketing VP with brands like Arby’s, Pearle Vision, Jack In The Box and others. Over the past four decades, I've learned a few things about developing a successful competitive strategy and building brands. Since 2003, I have consulted with over 100 clients who have retained me to help them compete more successfully in the marketplace. As a Connect Springboard mentor, I have worked with over 50 young companies. I work with clients in the US, Europe, the Middle East & Australia in categories that include Technology, Consumer Electronics, Hardware, Wireless, Software, Military, Pet Products, Restaurants, Sporting Goods, Fitness, Business Services, Transportation and media.

I also take on short terms projects in which I provide a diverse set of services from performing a brand audit, to participating in a new business effort, to defining new business opportunities, mentoring, interim management, integrating online and offline marketing, PR, business plans and/or developing best practices. A large part of my projects end up being writing assignments as many copy writers are not strong on positioning and strategy. I have been a full time consultant since 2003 and I offer clients a broad cross section of services. I admin more than a dozen Facebook pages, develop online marketing campaigns (www.getthesickness.com/analytics.html) and write lots of content for blogs, newsletters and email campaigns.

I do complimentary online assessments of your Google Analytics in person or via a screen share. I provide a broad range of services to a diverse client group and having the opportunity to drill down on the analytics of multiple companies has enabled me to have an uncommon insight into analyzing web behavior and turning that into actionable positioning, messaging and online marketing strategies.
