Experience
I provide consulting services for educational television production, human rights organizations and other worthwhile projects. My expertise centres on effective use of narrative and visual storytelling to get noticed and be remembered in ways that lead to action in a mass or targeted audience. This includes experience with multi-disciplinary teams, production co-ordination, educational content research, scripted children’s educational narrative, curriculum development, message focus, branding, marketing and media relations.
My experience ranges from children’s television production to designing on-line customer service experiences. I have coordinated production for children’s educational television. I have placed stories and op-eds in local and national media outlets, including the Toronto Star, Fox Radio, Globe and Mail, ABCNews.com, Sports Illustrated and the Nation. I have also led strategies to create local news cycles, with local television, radio and print coverage over several weeks and over 16 local news spots totaling over 22 minutes of coverage in 20 days. My work includes print, broadcast and Internet media, and includes development of customer-focused Internet experiences as part of an integrated marketing strategy.
