Work

MX | Associate Creative Director | 2022 - present
Senior Copywriter | 2019 - 2022
At MX I work to elevate marketing communications for a wide range of B2B clients, concepting and writing strategic, attention-grabbing creative that delivers real business results. My daily work for multiple clients means I’m adept at “switching voices” to reach many audiences, across many mediums. My client work requires both short- and long-form storytelling, including new campaign platforms, video, print, website, email, digital, social, white papers, ebooks, blogs and more. Grundfos, Zekelman, Cummins, HollyFrontier and V3 are just a few of the clients I’ve built trusting relationships with, helping them navigate the creative process to buy effective work. In addition to my writing work, my responsibility as an ACD includes managing junior- and mid-level talent, helping them create and sell effective work, and grow in their careers.

I learned how to create effective and buzz-worthy new campaign platforms, print, television, radio, digital, social and out-of-home. My clients included Esurance, Kraft-Heinz, Kellogg's, McDonald's, Serta and ALDI.
