DIRECTOR OF MARKETING: While at Smokey Mo’s TX BBQ, much of my time was spent acting as Creative Director/Writer—including on the rebrand, website, social media, ads, marketing materials, signage and the development of new restaurant interiors. Deets on my resume.

ASSOCIATE CREATIVE DIRECTOR/COPYWRITER: As an advertising creative, I was responsible for taking a creative brief, researching the heck out of the product and creating targeted campaigns which included TV commercials, print ads, radio, billboards and videos. I made presentations to clients, and led the work through the production process including: hiring directors, making casting and location decisions, hiring and recording voice over talent, working with film editors, sound mixers, composers and musicians. As an ACD, my AD and I ran our own account, oversaw the work of other creatives and worked on new client pitches. I won numerous industry awards and produced commercials whose production cost topped $1M.
