Hi, here's my story!
I work in marketing, public relations, and operations, primarily within the music industry. Everything starts from the same principle: build a good system first, and the results follow, even in marketing. Below is what that system has produced, in numbers and in press.
Three campaigns, three different audiences. Each required the same thing: notice what's actually working, then move fast enough to capitalize on it.
Case study 01 · Higher education
The world's preeminent college for the study of music.
The challenge
Reach a high-intent applicant audience during a pivotal admissions window, and translate a legacy institution's prestige into short-form content that performs natively on Instagram and TikTok.
What I did
I ran a full content engine across three pillars: student-facing storytelling, an applications-deadline campaign, and trend-driven moments, scripting and producing platform-native video built to be watched, shared, and acted on.

Case study 02 · Recording artist
A four-part teaser series engineered to make a music-video release feel inevitable.
The challenge
Build genuine anticipation for an independent artist's music video without it reading like an ad. The release had to feel like something the internet stumbled onto, not something it was sold.
What I did
Opened with a single skit built to feel like a real, unscripted moment, blurring the line between content and reality. The instant it gained traction, I released parts two, three, and four the very next day to complete the storyline while the momentum was still live, then dropped the full music video as the reveal that tied the entire narrative back to the song.

Case study 03 · Jazz artist
Turning world-class musicianship into a consistent, compounding audience.
The challenge
Grow a working jazz artist's audience and fill a recurring residency, converting world-class musicianship into consistent reach and engagement across Instagram and Facebook, with no paid budget behind it.
What I did
I built a content rhythm around three formats: artist and brand promotion, release campaigns, and evergreen performance clips, each engineered to spike a specific metric within days, then compound into the next. I wrote, directed, filmed, and edited every piece myself, and compiled weekly KPI reports so the strategy adjusted as the data came in, not after the fact.
Results
Research before strategy, strategy before execution, built to work for consumer audiences and business stakeholders alike.
Research the market
I study the target audience and competitive landscape to find where a brand's voice has room to speak directly to its audience.
Learn the story
Every brand has its own story and its own personality. Audiences respond when they're spoken to like people, not customers.
Build the strategy
Content pillars work together across every platform and format, each post intentional and consistent with the brand story.
Execute and adapt
I execute, publish, and track, refining the strategy on a rolling basis rather than waiting for a quarterly review.
"Start with understanding the audience and competitors, in order to fill the consumer gap."
