Hi, I’m Mark.
From the first brainstorm to the store shelf & beyond — 

I make words & stories work for brands that stick.

This is the part of the portfolio where I make two important distinctions. First, whether I’m willing to refer to myself in the third person (absolutely not). And second, whether I’m willing to start a sentence with “And" (absolutely).‍ Let’s get into it.

I'm a copywriter, creative leader, marketer, and relentless optimist who’s worked with it all. From industrial to nonprofit to big CPG — my career has been punctuated by diverse challenges and creative puzzles. Getting creative to put together the solutions hasn’t dulled my spark. From developing a voice for local businesses to helping insurgent brands penetrate (and win) with national retailers, I thrive when I’m collaborating creatively with sharp, energetic teams that care.

From building a voice for local businesses to helping insurgent brands break into national retail (and win), I thrive when I'm collaborating with sharp, energetic teams that care. As a copywriter, I've worked shoulder-to-shoulder with packaging, design, and production teams to bring concepts to life in every medium. As a creative leader and ACD, I've managed lean teams and agency partners to grow scrappy DTC brands into national powerhouses.

Whether I'm in the words, leading the resources, or finding new ways to make technology maximize impact without sapping the humanity from a brand — I bring a spark of energy, a healthy respect for the "dumb" idea, and a love for collaboration.

Poke around. Get to know me, learn how I work, and see where 15+ years in creative, performance marketing, and brand storytelling have taken me. Looking for a resume? You’ll find that here. Scroll around…stay a while (If I check the analytics for this website and it shows you never made it past the first page I’ll be sad).
