My Playbook

A foundation-first approach that fuels growth and puts AI to work the right way

My playbook has three parts that work together: foundation, growth and AI. It starts with the foundation – the buyer, the product, the story, the brand and the website – because every program draws on it. Growth programs then put that foundation to work with your buyers, chosen for your market and goals. I weave AI into the core of the playbook, from building the foundation to scaling and optimizing the programs. AI is the thread that ties it together and makes the whole marketing function faster and smarter.

My Work

A brand and website that look and sound like a $1B company

The right brand and website are core to your foundation – they’re what your buyer engages with and where they decide to take the next step. My career began in brand and creative, and it’s what makes me different and why many companies choose to work with me. Building an enterprise-grade brand and website that make you look and sound like a $1B company is the final step to a winning marketing foundation.

My Project

A one-page messaging framework for writing your buyer story in 90 minutes

Peak Canvas helps founders, marketing leaders, product and content teams build one clear buyer story. It unifies context, problem, solution and brand promise on a single page – simplifying the process of getting your messaging right for your ideal buyer. I created it to accelerate my own marketing foundation work, and to help others capture the key messaging inputs needed to execute a full stack marketing playbook.
