   Nov 2015 — Present

   As the Founder & CEO of MediaSpark, I help companies master their marketing and build blockbuster brands with proven media strategies. I spent 18 years in my clients’ shoes, so I know firsthand the strain on internal marketing departments and the challenges CMOs and Marketing Directors face. The questions you are asking, I have answered—and I use this experience to help growing companies become household names locally, regionally and nationally. I created MediaSpark with two goals in mind: 1. To boost the impact of internal marketing teams as a partner and advisor 2. To offer Midwest companies data-driven media strategies that work as hard as they do I have been fortunate to work with some of the country’s best integrated marketing experts who are dedicated to getting the results you need as a business and as a corporate and industry leader. We believe that branding goes beyond a logo and marketing is more than a message—it’s what consistently calls customers to your products, what makes your team rise to a challenge, and what adds results to your bottom line. And the better you can rally around your reputation, the easier everything becomes. Everything we do at MediaSpark is approached through the client lens—from making the most of budgets, to understanding objectives, to company ownership in the process. Our award-winning talent, industry leadership, and partnership approach isn’t just what makes MediaSpark different. It’s what helps us do everything better. Whether you are local or have locations stretching from coast-to-coast, if you’re ready for us to champion your brand like your most devoted employee and make your data deliver, connect with me here on LinkedIn or learn more at themediaspark.com.
