Two sides.
One creative mind.

I connect business strategy with stories people care about, and bring the teams, ideas, and details together to make them happen.

03 / THE WAY I WORK

How I approach
the work.

01

The marketing executive.

Find the business opportunity. Define the brand’s role. Turn audience insight into a clear strategy, then build the team, partnerships, and structure to bring it to life. Stay close to what people care about and what the business needs to achieve.

Brand strategy / Team leadership / Talent partnerships / In-house studios
02

The creative director.

Find the story people care about. Give it a distinct look, feel, and voice that belongs to the brand. Carry that idea through everything the brand touches, from content and live experiences to the small details that make the work memorable.

Creative direction / Cultural marketing / Live production / Social & content
“Making data creative and creative instincts measurable.”

04 / ABOUT KEVIN

Curious by nature.
Strategic by instinct.
Hands-on by choice.

As a kid, I took apart a broken 35mm camera my mom gave me because I wanted to understand how it worked. When I put it back together, it worked again. That curiosity has stayed with me: understand the problem, learn what you need to learn, and find a way forward.

I’m a marketing executive and creative director with more than 20 years of experience across advertising, production, sports, social impact, and entertainment. I connect business strategy with stories people care about and stay involved from the first idea through the details that bring it to life.

At Sony Pictures Television, as SVP of Brand Marketing & Creative, I led a team of more than 30, including a 20-person creative group spanning design, editing, motion graphics, and production. I also built an in-house production studio to create ongoing content around our franchises, giving audiences more ways to connect with them beyond the shows themselves.

My career has included work with global talent such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and LeBron James. My years in social impact were equally formative. Working with organizations and initiatives including John Legend’s #FreeAmerica, the Call of Duty Endowment, and Orbis International taught me to make complex issues personal, tell stories that build understanding, and move people to act and give.

Each chapter shapes how I work today. I bring the strategy to find a clear direction, the creative instincts to see what it could become, and the practical experience to get it made. Whether the budget is modest or substantial, I care about bringing the right people together and getting the details right.

Let’s make
something matter.
