ABOUT THIS GUY

John is a creative marketer, strategist, producer and writer with over 15 years of experience in marketing and media.

He’s that guy who came up with the idea to put John Mayer in a Defender, interview John Malkovich about how acting is like surfing, make a documentary about a vibraphonist and also publish a newspaper devoted entirely to leisure swimming.

John has worked as the Director of Branded Content at Gear Patrol, the Head of Visuals at Hodinkee, and Senior Creative Strategist at The Atlantic. He is currently the Director, Content Strategy at The Aspen Institute.

John writes the occasional byline but mostly helps brands make good content. It’s that simple.

(OK it's not that simple, but close).

Content dreams

do come true. 

And John can help make yours come true too.

Here’s how.

  • From idea to execution, we can build a fully-baked content strategy born from insights that tells your story in the most effective way possible across platforms.

  • Copy that sparkles for blogs, emails, products and social. Photo and video shoot concepting and production. We can run pre and post-production to fit a tight budget and timeline.

  • Leveraging deep connections in the media space to pitch and place stories for earned and paid impressions.

  • It has to look good. We work with Palette to ensure everything we do is…chef's kiss.

  • We can help you identify unique influencer personalities and brands to collaborate with on products and tell your story in an authentic way.

Brands I’ve worked with include: Land Rover, Citi, Tudor, Seiko, Costa Sunglasses, Braun, Blancpain, Huckberry, G-SHOCK, The North Face, Grand Seiko, CBS, Dyson, Lyft, HPE, AT&T, Piaget, Netflix and others.
