Marketing Technologist with over a decade of experience managing automated campaigns in both print and digital through Email, Push, SMS, In-App, and Direct Mail for lists and audiences of over 5 Million subscribers. For the past 3 years, I have been mainly consulting in the Lifecycle space, developing triggered workflows and journeys for SaaS products and Apps.

My blend of creativity as a designer with my tech background (and a pinch of passion for cultural anthropology) has allowed me to be an integral part of the strategy behind prominent promotional and social impact campaigns at iconic media brands, innovative tech startups, and prominent non-profit organizations.

I strongly believe in a philosophy of marketing FOR the market instead of only marketing TO it.

It’s more important in today’s conscious society to directly connect with people rather than manipulate them through catchy subject lines, emojis, and flashy pictures. Consumers are becoming smarter and learning the industry’s new tricks everyday. We could always throw things at the wall and hope it sticks, but I believe in getting content and marketing right the first time and creating loyalty by incorporating cultural anthropology into the lifecycle.

I feel that it is the duty of marketers and creators to find the true identities of the people around us and beyond. Explore their cities, learn from their neighbors, embrace their stories, and discover new ways to bond with their communities. We are creative and aware by nature and tend to be social beings – even advocates of sorts, and I believe that this industry has become trapped into a homogeneous culture, while force-feeding that same culture to the masses, rather than doing our part in bridging products, services, and experiences to individuals in ways that they can each relate to – through the power of research, storytelling, and “intelligent automation”.
