What I do...

Marketing expertise, delivered however you need it.

Whether you're a business owner, a corporate team, an academic institution, or a podcast looking for a smart guest — I've probably got something useful to offer. Here's the menu.

Marketing Consulting &
​Brand Strategy

I've been building and managing brands since 2008 through ID Marketing & Design, my boutique marketing agency. For small and mid-size businesses, I offer hands-on strategic consulting that connects what you're trying to build with the marketing moves that actually get you there.
​
​I don't do vague strategy decks. I do actionable plans grounded in your market, your audience, and your budget — built on nearly two decades of doing this for real clients.
  • Brand positioning and identity development
  • Social media strategy and content planning
  • Digital marketing audits and roadmaps
  • Online presence development (website, SEO, search strategy)
  • Campaign planning and execution support
  • Marketing workshops for your internal team

Guest Lecturing &
​Academic Collaboration

My classroom is the intersection of theory and practice. I bring real-world marketing experience into academic settings — speaking to students about what the industry actually looks like, how careers develop, and what skills employers are genuinely looking for.

​If you're running a business program, a marketing department, or a student organization and want someone who can make the content come alive — let's talk. I've spoken at colleges, universities, and professional development programs across California.
  • Guest lectures on digital marketing, social media, and branding
  • Career development workshops for marketing students
  • Curriculum consultation for business and marketing programs
  • Industry panels and roundtables
  • Mentorship and advising for student-run businesses
  • Adjunct and visiting faculty opportunities

Keynotes &
Live Speaking Engagements

I've been told I don't speak like a professor. I'll take that as a compliment. I speak like someone who's been in the trenches of marketing for eighteen years, watched the industry change a dozen times, and still finds it genuinely exciting.
​

My talks are high-energy, specific, and built to leave people with something they can actually use — not just inspired for 45 minutes and then back to business as usual.
  • Keynotes on digital marketing trends and strategy
  • Workshops on social media and content marketing
  • Corporate sessions on building a brand online
  • Panels and moderated conversations
  • Podcast guest appearances
  • Commencement and convocation addresses

Corporate Training &
Team Workshops

Marketing teams need to stay sharp. Platforms change. Algorithms shift. Strategies that worked eighteen months ago are already dated. I deliver corporate training that's grounded in what's working right now — built from active classroom curriculum and current agency experience.
Whether you need a half-day workshop, a multi-session training series, or a custom curriculum for an in-house marketing team, I can build it and run it.
  • Social media marketing fundamentals and advanced strategy
  • Content marketing and editorial planning
  • Digital advertising (Meta, Google, LinkedIn)
  • Analytics, measurement, and performance reporting
  • Brand voice and messaging frameworks
  • Marketing for non-marketers (sales teams, executives, founders)

​Not sure which service fits? Let's have a conversation. Most good engagements start with a five-minute call.
