expertise

Management, creative and consulting services that find solutions for clients' critical challenges and untapped potential: Strategic Planning, Brand Development, Concept Creation, Marketing, Sales Building, Operations and Implementation are just a few of the areas of expertise. I believe every brand begins with a single, core identity; from that starting point, the discovery process allows for a dynamic and collaborative process that drives specific, articulate and authentic brand attributes that are executed through action oriented processes. I bring deep, functional and practical expertise to every project and am known for a values driven, honest and professional approach to making great things happen.

 

concept creation

Start to finish, front to back, concept creation. My "creatical" processes for executing a new property means delivering an original, well thought out and craveable NEW experience. Understanding the needs of both a market and community, it’s about finding great locations and opportunities for concepts. 

Brand Building   

I love to build a brand. Building a brand is building a relationship. The discovery process allows us to find the pivotal  thing the brand revolves around...and from there, how to develop, communicate and execute the brand. A detail oriented brand development strategy leads to strong brand loyalty, recognition and ultimately brand affinity. 

content creation  

It’s important to create content that’s accurate, up to date, and authentic. Developing the story arch and brand narrative requires strict detail and well thought processes; through careful consideration of each step of telling your story, we’ll find great opportunities to highlight the brand while remaining informative and relevant to your goals.

event marketing  

Creative events and collaborations that connect the property's core identity to a larger idea or audience. Creatively creating an event or shared experience around a common interest. Past events include "The Big Ass Hat Party" for The Kentucky Derby, Black Sheep's Gentleman's Dinner and The Love Shack's Inaugural Summer Luau. 

sales cultivation 

Generating revenue centers is vital. My approach to sales cultivation critically assesses all forms of potential revenue, starting with basic hours of operation and goods/services provided. I’ve proven to increase revenue by mechanically driving sales via event marketing, cross promotions, collaborations and events. 

Communication  

Careful consideration for all media is important when fine tuning messaging all while driving frequency around a consistent, cohesive message. I understand the importance of proper communication via public relations and announcements and the need to strategically carry that message and information via social, paid and traditional media. My communication philosophy starts  with a hands-on approach that streamlines messaging across the board. 

business strategy

Organizing your businesses next moves is important.

It’s important to have an unbiased opinion that can assist in the goal setting process as well as setting benchmarks for growth and progress. Looking at your business needs through an experienced and different, outside perspective will drive a thoughtful and meaningful conversation that will lead to action plans.

food & beverage operations

My food and beverage strategy connects the important dots between profitability, effective operations, and sustainability along with authenticity and specificity to the brand.  Creative culinary, beverage and operations management will streamline execution so quality and commitment to a brand never suffers.  

REJUVENATION   

Some brands aren't dead...they're just tired. Identifying value and profitability is essential in the discovery process when it comes to evaluating a brand or property. I take pride in the ability to assess the cultural, sociological and economic impact the brand has had on the social fabric of its community. More often than not, if there's a will, there is a way - it's just navigating the process and finding the economics to drive sustainability and financial success. 

return on investment   

The three magical words in business, "Return On Investment." My approach to financial sustainability and success starts with measuring and assessing your margins and allowances built into your goods, services and products. From there, we build systems and pricing structures that allow for the highest return on basic investments you've made to operate...and that's just the beginning. Measuring R.O.I on marketing, promotions, programming and events is next. Aligning intelligent and thoughtful endeavors with your brand will yield the highest return...let us guide you to profitable results. 

Social & DigitaL Media

It’s important to communicate daily. Leveraging the useful tools of Social, Digital, and New Media allows for quick, easy, and engaging content to keep your digital presence alive, well, and thriving.

I believe a balance of structured, curated content complimented by organic, “real,” and spontaneous efforts create an authentic and true to life representation of the brand.

Pandemic response

2020 brought an entirely new array of challenges, obstacles, and devastation to our modern world. Through thoughtful, quick, and effective action, I assisted a dozen hospitality, event, and experience based businesses navigate the many and ever changing stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Through these strategic processes, I helped reduce loss(es), recoup sales via strong sales and marketing pushes, and even sun-setted businesses and prepared and listed real estate for clients.
