CK's For Hire...yep, I'm "for hire" (but can't be bought)

Hireck_silver_2 If you're seeking smarts, energy and creativity you've found the right person. Conversely, if you're seeking someone less passionate and more subdued, I completely respect that (and you), but you should probably seek elsewhere.

I'm particularly good at three things: (1) Ideas + (2) Programs + (3) People. Put those together--or retain ME to put those three together--and you've got an epiphany (or two).

My focus is pretty darn focused: creating value for the companies I work for and even more value for their customers and clients. Value creation is, after all, marketing's entire reason-for-being (and anyone who tells you differently is singing you a song).

While I have a website for my consultancy, I can be retained for services in five practice areas spanning online and off-line initiatives:

  • Strategy & Planning: Identifying the "who," "what," and "how" to meet your revenue goals and then making a plan to do exactly that.
  • Program Development: Developing unique (and clever!) programs that engage people around brands, businesses and causes.
  • Social Media (WOM): Leveraging social media tools and technologies to build audiences, create communities and get closer to your markets.
  • Writing: Creating pieces that get people and the press talking--and listening.
  • Speaking: Conducting dynamic presentations that entertain while educating (hint: if they're laughing it's a sure-fire sign they're listening).

Why would you want to retain me to help you? Here's a few reasons:

  • My range: While people remark on my smarts, I've found my range is most valuable to my clients. I made the decision early on that I would dedicate myself to being a marketing specialist meaning, I would hone my strategic and tactical skills. Whether online or off, your execution has to follow a sound strategy and your strategy isn't worth two cents unless it's well executed.
  • My cred: I've worked with the biggies on projects (Fortune 50, not just Fortune 500), I've done the MBA and the multi-million dollar budgets. While terrific experiences, I take the most pride in people far smarter than I investing time in what I have to say--and here's some things they've said.
  • I'm audience-approved: Clients often tell me they not only love my work, they love working with me (I love them, too). They keep coming back, and we keep getting results. It's a great arrangement.
  • I think and act globally: I travel anywhere for projects. In fact, I fancy different markets, be they big city or emerging region. Plus, I'm only a New York City yellow-cab ride away from three major airports. That said, I hate flying (but I deal).

Need more stuff? No problem. What kind of marketer would I be if I didn't market me?
