I believe this is a business about people. Inspiring creative idealists to develop insightful, intelligent communications that center ideas around the end consumer and the way they live their life.
Having led in the creation of innovative ideas for leading brands, I have produced successful, award-winning cross-channel campaigns for virtually every product category in every form of media — digital, interactive, social, experiential, direct, print, and broadcast.
Today, as the founder of Down and Dirty Pixels, I lead a small, nimble, conceptual creative team that develops and executes engaging, entertaining content for digital and social media. As well as photography and film production. Offering uncompromising content to help brands closely connect with their audiences and grow.
For the relationship between a brand and a consumer always comes down to a value proposition of— “What do you offer me". And in today’s media landscape the best way for a brand to convey that, and build that relationship, is through creating a dialogue instead of a speech.
