ABOUT
In a Nutshell
I love my profession and I know it shows. As the founder of Campe + Co., I'm a creative strategist, content producer, lover of technology, and brand enthusiast. I'm a known networker and connector of people. And I'm a leader who enjoys managing teams with trust, honesty, and fun.
Enough about me. Let's talk about marketing. And content. I believe that success in marketing is only possible when you start with three things: objectives, research, and data.
​
I'm always happy to meet for coffee to talk shop. When are you available?
