Hello there.
I’ve been told I’m good at “getting to the heart of things”. I like that. I’d add that I believe empathy is a human and marketing superpower. Great ideas are powerful, effective, and lucrative. Success is a group effort, and a lot more fun. The energy in a room or on Zoom can change everything. We gotta connect. Communication is our job and our privilege.
My freelance life: Google, Danone N.A., McCann NY, Lightning Orchard NY, Arts & Letters, Mullen Lowe Boston, Fallon Minneapolis, Digitas Boston, TBWA Chiat, Deutsch LA, Arnold, Hill Holiday Boston, Peterson Milla Hooks, Virtue NY.
A sampling of brands: Nike, Target, Google, Old Spice, Danone N.A., Monster.com, Starbucks, Swiss Army, Diet Coke, Converse, Powerade, Pepsi, Honda, Acura, Levis, Cadillac, Liberty Mutual, Cigna, American Greetings, Cheerios, Nature Valley Granola Bars, Arby’s, Keen, Brooks, Ked’s, Kohl’s, The Joe and Katherine Albertson Foundation, Stand Up to Cancer, Careerbuilder.com, Dodge, GM, the ERA, and a few I may not speak about.
My full-timer time: Wieden+Kennedy Portland. Mullen Lowe Boston, Houston Herstek Favat.
I specialize in brand voice, strategic creative thinking, pitch work and increasingly, copywriting.
You may find me in my pink office in Portland, or in my forest office in the foothills of Mt. Hood, with my boyfriend and his imaginary dog.
Cheers! -Monica
