       Provided research, planning and creative for energy management product EarthButton as a
       fractional executive. The research identified the ideal clients for the product’s specific features and
       benefits. Through interviews, a complete understanding of the target was developed and a complete
       business development package was created to target and capture clients.
       Created extensive branding and collateral for MagTek, a leader in banking technology, and
       collaborated on the company’s first consumer product. Updated the brands for the company’s
       Magensa and MagneSafe divisions and provided extensive catalog, collateral and tradeshow creative.
       Developed branding, web and packaging design for QwicKey.
       Helped LaptopBattery One, an eCommerce supplier, to build its web presence. The project
       required market research to define key purchase habits, competing forces and the specific features
       needed in both the brand and the website to succeed. The web design was tailored to provide users
       with an expedited experience created through carefully considered navigation and content such as the
       “Find it Fast” features.

       VISUAL APPLIANCES
       Provided market research and analysis and collaborated with business development team to
       create effective channel development and synchronized marketing and sales strategies. The
       company secured agreements with five of the ten largest resellers in the category, gained a presence in
       IBM’s Innovation Centers and created over $2 million in pre-launch sales for its integrated display
       system.
       Led the execution of all marketing functions including product launch and strategic
       planning. This included managing advertising, web strategy and development, channel and dealer
       training programs while collaborating on product development and delivering brand and marketing
       for each.
       Converted extensive intellectual property into defined features, such as Direct Digital and
       ZeroBurn, while creating the positioning, messaging and branding behind a family of
       hardware and software products. This included managing development for all sales and executive
       presentations, product and corporate collateral and web design and strategy.

       GLABMAN FURNITURE
       Created a relationship management system that dramatically improved development and
       retention successes; prospect conversion (visit-to-purchase) improved by 48%, and the company
       was able to formalize its understanding of what factors maximized lifetime value of clients. The
       database incorporated internally generated and third party data to gain a clear “snapshot” of clients
       and automated and prompted actions, including supporting collateral.
       Focused efforts on referrals, the leading motivator in affluent sales, delivering an additional
       $3 million in sales within the first fifteen months. The effort included a mix of direct approaches,
       hosted private events and improved training and retention policies and programs to prompt and
       secure referrals.
       Reversed aging trends in customer base by updating branding and customer experience.
       Average age for clients dropped by five years, a demographic change that increased effective market
       size by 73% while increasing lifetime customer value.
       Refocused direct mail efforts to improve effectiveness. The company developed its own database
       of every potential customer – over 350,000 households – appended with key demographic data and
       used in a sophisticated mix of niche mail programs with as few as 1,000 target households and large,
       promotion-oriented pieces totaling as many as two million pieces in a year. The repurposed program
       was the mainstay of marketing program that doubled monthly traffic figures.
