Weight behind the work.
Growing iconic brands through their biggest inflection points

Steward of Yahoo, McDonald's, Clorox, and Chevron — through category launches, a global rebrand, and the biggest promotion in fast food. Advertising, then digital, then fifteen years of integrated communications, promotions, and consumer growth, then energy under regulation. External agencies and in-house teams — leading from each side of the marketing table. The sides aren’t the story. The disciplines are.

About

"I lead lean, elite teams doing big, idea-driven work — and I stay close enough to the craft to know the difference between good and great."

It started with the message. The creative-analytical formula began at DDB and Tribal on the Clorox portfolio — four years learning advertising, then two on digital transformation. The craft of the message first, then the channels that were about to change what it could do. Twelve years there: all twelve on Brita, Kingsford and Hidden Valley through three strategic eras each.

Everything after that was added, not exchanged. Integrated communications taught me to make the parts move together. Promotions at McDonald’s taught immovable dates. Consumer growth at Yahoo taught the work to pay for itself — a 60+ person in-house agency, $75M+ in budgets, brand at 900-million-monthly-user scale. Energy under regulation at Chevron taught me to clear legal first, across 2,000+ stations, where every word had to survive counsel before it could move a consumer.

Each layer kept the one underneath it. The advertising craft is still in the growth work; the analytics are still in the creative. It’s why I know what an agency needs to make great work and what a client needs to approve it and defend it upstairs — I’ve sat in both chairs and set neither one down.

It’s not motivation, it’s discipline that moves the needle. At the end of the day I want mud on my boots and dirt under my fingernails. That’s the builder-leader I am.

The newest layer is applied AI — a practice built at Berkeley Haas and MIT Sloan — including a San Francisco Giants capstone on AI-driven fan engagement and flex membership growth.

The Connective Tissue

Six through-lines that compound across four brand portfolios — the constants beneath all of it.

01
Sports-Property Marketing & Partnerships
Two decades of sponsorship from both sides of the deal. Agency-side first: NASCAR in the Tony Stewart era, Brita with Surfrider, McDonald’s with Hasbro and Sony Pictures. Then at Yahoo the seat flipped — Fantasy was the property. I held Toyota, Levi’s Stadium, the 49ers and the Giants, plus the NFL, BetMGM and Toyota Racing in NASCAR. What a partner needs to justify the spend and what a property needs to sell the next one is the same conversation from two chairs.
02
3 Super Bowls, 3 Ways
Three different mechanics, none of them a media buy. XLIX: a real-time Twitter giveaway that hijacked the broadcast without buying a spot in it (+96% positive sentiment). 50: Game Time Gold, the promotion McDonald’s ran in place of Monopoly — peel-to-win on the core menu, a $500,000 winner revealed weekly on Sunday Night Football. LIII: a mobile fan cave in Atlanta with Calais Campbell. Reactive social, a prize machine, and a live activation — the same date solved three ways.
03
Digital Transformation
Clorox’s complete digital transformation — 15+ programs in two years, website rebuilds across the franchise, and the company’s first consumer preference center, launched on Brita and rolled out portfolio-wide. Then McDonald’s Monopoly, the biggest promotion in fast food, pointed toward the app era. Then the CRM engine underneath Yahoo at 900M-user scale. The same discipline every layer down: build the database, segment it, earn the next transaction from it.
04
Go-to-Market & Enterprise Planning
Planning demand is a different discipline from making the work. Yahoo Fantasy ran three go-to-market seasons a year — NFL, MLB, March Madness — each with its own draft window and signup curve, planned a season ahead and re-planned in flight. It ran on both sides of the ledger: paid acquisition on the buy side, an audience the ad organization sold on the other — Subway presented Best Bracket Millionaire, its sponsorship built into the bracket itself. Chevron was the opposite problem: one enterprise plan across upstream, midstream and downstream.
05
Brand Stewardship
Decade-long arcs on iconic brands. Twelve straight years on Brita. Kingsford and Hidden Valley each walked through three strategic eras — new competitors, new categories, new consumers, the same hands on the wheel. Stewardship is the part you can’t compress: it only shows up in a portfolio when someone stayed long enough to guide a beloved name through its inflection points and out the other side.
06
Purpose & Community
Values expressed through product decisions, not logos on banners. Brita Filter For Good — Clorox’s first purpose platform, built on a consumer pledge against single-use bottled water and closed at the other end by a filter take-back program with Preserve. Glad to Give, born from the insight that Gladware is how people share food, turned into a fundraising engine with Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. Let’s Glow, a global Pride activation with a purpose-built accessible catwalk at Brighton.

"Yahoo is For Lovers" — The Rebrand

"Answering 'does Yahoo still exist?' by re-grounding the brand in its promise — connecting people to their passions."

Yahoo's first major media spend in years, and a bold statement of intent for the newly independent brand. Partnered with documentary filmmaker Floyd Russ to cast real Yahoo users — an interior designer shopping from her inbox, a gym owner growing his business on Yahoo Finance, a hairstylist catching up on Yahoo News — each telling their own story of how Yahoo fits into their life. I was the strategic and business lead across the entire campaign, carrying the new brand voice into every channel: digital, social, OOH, and owned media. Organic posts from the cast and a social campaign on JuJu Smith-Schuster's TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter channels — plus PR coverage on network television — extended the reach even further.

Role

A Whole New 'Hoo — Yahoo Brand Identity Overhaul

"Rebuilding a legendary internet brand from the inside out — and proving 900 million users still had reasons to fist-pump."

Yahoo was one of the most recognized brands on the planet, but it had lost its edge. The brief wasn't just a visual refresh — it was a strategic repositioning around a renewed mission: keep the world interested and interesting. I led the go-to-market and brand strategy side of a full identity overhaul developed with Pentagram — a new geometric wordmark, a bespoke typeface (Yahoo Sans), a proprietary grid system (the Yangle), and a brand character framework built around Generosity, Optimism, and Enthusiasm. The system had to flex across Sports, Finance, News, Mail, and Fantasy — each with its own passionate audience — while feeling unmistakably, unapologetically Yahoo.

Chevron gas-price education campaign — pump signage

Chevron Corporation

Gas-Price Education Campaign

"A consumer advocacy campaign that made California's gas tax burden impossible to ignore — and earned a response from the Governor's office."

California drivers were paying $1.75 more per gallon than the national average. The challenge wasn't the data — it was making abstract policy feel personal at the exact moment a consumer was feeling the pain. I led strategy and execution for consumer education across 2,000+ stations in the western region, sustained multi-quarter with creative refreshes: eye-catching pump signage, a bilingual QR-driven action hub, digital editorial partnerships, and consumer talking points designed to drive direct legislator contact. The signage phase drew statewide press coverage — including an opinion piece in the Sacramento Bee and a rebuttal statement from Governor Newsom's office.

Launched free one-tap live NFL streaming on Yahoo Sports with a hype film produced with The Seige and an automated design system built to keep pace with the season. The follow-up, "You Could Be Watching Football," turned around eight spots in two days and surpassed goals on every metric — installs, ad revenue, D7 retention, streams, viewers, and minutes watched. Capped by the Super Bowl LIII mobile fan cave activation in Atlanta with Calais Campbell.

New Yahoo Mail — Global Launch & the CRM Engine Behind All of Yahoo

Mail was never just an inbox — it was the account layer the entire Yahoo ecosystem ran on. Every product resolved back to an email address, which made Mail the CRM engine delivering news, finance, sports, league updates, fantasy, and the Yahoo Plus subscription ladder to 900M monthly active users worldwide. Relaunching it meant running the full funnel and the lifecycle underneath it at the same time: :15 spots, live events, and content partnerships across Snapchat, Twitter, BuzzFeed, and YouTube influencers on the acquisition side; onboarding, segmentation, preference management, and cross-product upsell on the retention side. Extended into "Out of Office Heroes" — a global influencer program plus live events built on Mail's product truth: auto-sorted travel and receipts means time back. The product story continued with "Defeat Life's Big Little Annoyances," honored by the American Advertising Awards, Shorty Awards, and Hermes Creative Awards.

"One value proposition across every fantasy product, and a ladder built to carry a free player up it."

Built to steal share from ESPN: "Make Better Choices" unified every fantasy product under one value proposition, backed by the FSGA #1 platform rating. The ladder started with Best Bracket Millionaire — a $1M March Madness contest marketed like a TV talent show, with millions playing — and climbed through Yahoo Fantasy Slate's free-to-play launch, video, social, and email in a Vegas neon style built to sell the no-stakes, coin-flip fun of the game. Each rung was designed to hand the player to the next one. The top rung, real money, is its own story — see Yahoo Sportsbook below.

The Toyota Hall of Fame — Fantasy Made Physical

"A digital feature with a title sponsor's name on it, standing inside an NFL stadium — and reinvented every season to keep earning the renewal."

Here Yahoo was the property, not the advertiser. The Hall of Fame had lived inside Yahoo Fantasy Football since 2007; Toyota bought the title, and it became a permanent installation in the Yahoo Game Day area at Levi's Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers — busts, artifacts, the history of fantasy football, a Kinect-powered throwing game, and a Yahoo-branded fan lounge upstairs. I held the Toyota, 49ers, and Levi's relationships across three seasons that followed — strategic oversight of the activation calendar and the creative, and revisiting the program year over year to decide what it had to become next. For 2016–17 that answer was virtual reality: Oculus Rift with Leap Motion hand tracking, so a fan could reach in bare-handed, pick up a hammer, and chisel their own bronze bust while the concourse watched on linked monitors. A sponsorship earns its renewal by being worth walking up to, season after season.

Yahoo Sportsbook, Powered by BetMGM

"A media property and a casino operator, one fan, and a path from watching the game to having money on it."

Launched November 14, 2019, eighteen months after the Supreme Court struck down the federal ban and while only nineteen states had legalized. The partnership put live odds inside the editorial product itself — on the game page, next to the score, beside the fantasy leaders — so the bet lived where the fan already was rather than in a destination they had to go find. New Jersey first, with a deposit-ten-get-a-hundred offer carrying the sign-up, then state by state as the map opened. Co-marketing in both directions: Yahoo brought the audience and the daily habit, BetMGM brought the book and the regulatory footing, and the handoff between them had to feel like one product. Launching inside a category that barely existed meant building the demand and the compliance at the same time.

Global Storytelling — Events & Experiential

"Three global programs, one discipline: brand stories people could walk into."

The New Yahoo Mail launch came to life through live events with their own identities — "Slay the Holidays" in New York, a feature-themed game floor with a local-artist holiday market, and the "Upgrade Arcade" in Los Angeles, a high-tech carnival of games and prizes. "Out of Office Heroes" took the holidays global: a worldwide influencer program of gloriously bizarre videos plus live events in New York and Taipei, all built on Yahoo Mail's product truth — auto-sorted travel and receipts means time back. And "Let's Glow" carried the discipline into Global Pride: a summer-long platform across editorial, marketing, and popups in the US and UK, capped by Brighton Pride headline sponsorship with a purpose-built, fully accessible catwalk.

Super Bowl XLIX Real-Time Twitter Promotion

"We turned the entire 3+ hour broadcast into one huge McDonald's engagement."

A first-of-its-kind promotion: while America watched Super Bowl XLIX, McDonald's played along in real time — every time a commercial aired, McDonald's gave that advertised product away on Twitter. Any brand's ad became McDonald's moment. The strategic bet was to stop competing with the other advertisers and embrace all of them. That meant hijacking the biggest advertising night in America without buying a single spot in it: a live war-room operation writing, client-approving, and legally clearing giveaway posts keyed to an unscripted broadcast, ad break after ad break, for the entire game — 120+ people synchronized to make every post real. Fifty-six products went out the door, from a wheelbarrow of chips to eight cars, a year's supply of glue, and a helicopter ride. The brands being given away tweeted back, carrying the message to their own followings. The whole thing ran without a single hashtag.

Slow Down and Grill — A Decade of Stewardship

"An American icon walked through three strategic eras — and repositioned around what charcoal really sells: time together."

Ten years on one of America's most beloved brands. The nostalgia era of the early 2000s gave way to "Welcome Back" and "Spring Grilling" in 2009, before the 2012 "Slow Down and Grill" repositioning reframed charcoal against the gas-grill convenience story: real fire takes longer, and that's the point. Slower is better — for the food and for the people around it.

Benchmark to Cultural Icon — The Ranch Eras

"From 'The Way Ranch is Supposed to Taste' to the ketchup aisle — three eras that took ranch from category benchmark to cultural staple."

Era one established the standard: "The Way Ranch is Supposed to Taste" and Ranch World. Era two (2006–2010) unlocked versatility — Sally Kellerman's voice, the dry packet, and "Vegetables Taste Better" turning ranch into a parenting ally. Era three (2011–2013) made the boldest move: "Hidden Valley for Everything," positioning ranch as America's next ketchup and driving the brand into everyday, every-meal territory.

Filter For Good — Twelve Years, One Brand, One Category Shift

"The only arc in the portfolio where the brand didn't follow the culture — it helped move it."

Twelve straight years on Brita — the longest single-brand run in the portfolio, and the one arc that tracked a category-level cultural shift rather than a seasonal one. The early era sold filtration as household utility. Then came the turn against single-use bottled water, and in 2007 Filter For Good made Brita the brand of that movement: Clorox's first major purpose platform, born digital, built on a consumer pledge and a Surfrider Foundation partnership, with Sierra Club endorsement, Dave Matthews Band and mtvU on tour, Climate Ride, and The Biggest Loser. The Brita & Preserve filter recycling program followed in 2008, closing the loop on the product itself. By 2014 the argument had widened from bottles to everything else Americans were drinking — "Raining Soda Cans" set 13 billion gallons of sugary beverages a year against the simple choice of filtered water, under "Nothing Is Better." Underneath all of it, the final era built the infrastructure — Clorox's first consumer preference center was built for Brita before it rolled out across the full portfolio.

Health & Wellness — Pirates & Mermaids

"Kids turned the bathtub into an ocean. The strategy underneath: a clean bathroom is what makes the play safe."

The campaign that moved Clorox from a laundry brand to a household disinfecting authority. Surreal, celebrated spots directed by Matthias Zentner turned bathtubs into pirate seas and mermaid worlds, with the product promise sitting underneath the fantasy rather than on top of it. The health-and-wellness strategy thrust Clorox disinfecting products into the marketplace and helped launch Clorox disinfecting wipes — a format most households hadn't adopted yet — into a space that grew into a $2B category.

SF Giants: Signal-Based Marketing Orchestration

A thesis-level AI framework reimagining how the San Francisco Giants grow flex memberships. Rather than calendar-driven campaign assumptions, the model deploys predictive AI as a signal-based decisioning system — ingesting fan behavior, intent signals, and contextual data to trigger personalized outreach at the right moment, through the right channel, at the right offer.

Remedy: Agentic BD Playbook

The capstone for MIT Sloan's "Implementing Agentic AI" program, applied to a live business — the business development workflow at Remedy, a filmmaker-led production company. Using the program's WHAT / HOW / SCALE framework, the playbook deployed an agentic lead-sourcing agent governed by a no-send firewall (the agent researches and drafts; only a human sends), integrated with a composite prospect-scoring model — Heat, Readiness, and Fit rolled into A/B/C tiers — and a designated human agent manager accountable for oversight. Not a demo: a working system for a working pipeline, built to show how a 20-year-old creative company adopts AI without losing its judgment.
