Benefits For Your Brand
Working together for the success of your business is important! I work hard to maintain genuine and authentic interaction. Each post, and each mention of your product, is an opportunity to work together to increase your business and collectively grow our network. I have worked with a wide variety of brands and agencies in collaborations to achieve the goals of the client.
I bring a myriad of life and business experience into my work, which results in my ability to be a credible voice for your brand. I began with a career in radio broadcasting and established my web design & creative media production business in 2003. Being a business owner with a background in media and production, means that I bring a unique perspective and sensitivity to working with your brand. I take extra effort to understand the product, message, and goals for each marketing campaign.
Services Offered
Custom Script Writing
When you want your brand represented in my voice, I take the time to study not only your brand and product but also your specific objectives for a campaign. I write custom scripts that offer the information on your brand while combining the most genuine delivery for me.
Verbatim Delivery
You know your brand and product best and sometimes that means you want a specific script delivered in your exact words. I have ample experience reading scripts verbatim with rapid turnaround on this type of project.
On-Camera Delivery
I have years of experience with on-camera delivery, even prior to the social media age. I have a natural, educated, and informed presence which appeals to a broader demographic.
Creative B-Roll Footage
Successful production includes cutaway footage to keep a 30 or 60 second video fast paced and interesting. I produce product videos that are layered with B-Roll which helps reinforce ideas with additional imagery and text.
Video Production
Sometimes a campaign needs a produced video or reel, not just disjointed or running clips. I offer completely produced video with on-camera delivery, voiceover, layered images, transitions, b-roll, and royalty-free music.
Access To Raw Footage
The best value to your brand is not only a completely produced testimonial or informational video, but you also have the added benefit of the raw footage with permission to re-produce using these elements. I provide the raw footage upon request with an easy to access download link from my remote drive.

Branded Content FAQ's
Q: What is Influencer Generated Content?
Answer: Influencer Generated Content, or IGC, is content created by social media influencers. Since influencers are real consumers that have a dedicated audience who trust their judgement, IGC campaigns have been proven to generate substantial returns for brands of all sizes. Influencer marketing, also known as branded content or working with creators, is a way to expand the reach of your brand on social media.
Q: What is User Generated Content?
Answer: User Generated Content (UCG) is any content - text, videos, images, reviews, etc which are created by people, rather than brands.
Q: What is the difference between Influencer Generated Content and User Generated Content and how do I know which option is best for my brand?
Answer: There is an important distinction between Influencer Generated Content and User Generated Content.
Influencer Generated Content (IGC)
When brands choose to work with a specific influencer, they are often looking for high-performing content on that influencer's social media channels. Depending on that influencer's following and level of interaction with their followers, a brand may receive more or less benefit from working with that particular influencer.
User Generated Content (UGC)
User Generated Content (UGC) is any content - text, videos, images, reviews, etc which are created by people, rather than brands. This form of authentic interaction from people who are experiencing your product or business, are not necessarily social media influencers. In this case, a brand wouldn't be relying on an influencer's channels from the total results of their campain or collaboration.
There is great power in User Generate Content where a brand doesn't rely solely on the response from the influencer's post or video, but rather can obtain rights to the influencer's content to use on your brand's social channels or to amplify through whitelisting.
