There is a time to think and a time to do.
Occasionally, those times overlap and you feel overwhelmed. You don’t have the marketing resources or the expertise to tackle big business challenges, and you need help pushing forward because standing still isn’t cutting it.
You need a seasoned agency veteran and fractional marketer who has built scalable solutions for brands of all sizes for years. Someone who can jump in immediately, who ‘gets it’ and has the network to turn goals into results.
I can help. Right here, right now.
(Let the Jesus Jones lyrics wash over you)
Whether it’s from the marquee New York ad world or the innovative digital and brand design shops in my hometown San Diego, 15 years of integrated marketing experience has instilled a unique aptitude for pushing clients toward the finish line (however that’s defined). The timelines and budgets aren’t always big, but the impact and results certainly are.
I understand how to overcome challenges, identify opportunities, mobilize quickly, and deliver best-in-class marketing which produces results while reducing budget.

What People Are Saying
“Sean spearheaded numerous critical initiatives on Chase when we worked together. He combines a strong business sense with excellent creative judgement, making him a valued partner both internally and externally. He works hard and truly cares about doing the right thing for the business.”
— Michael Angelovich, Chief Strategy Officer at Zimmerman
"Sean was an instrumental member of the team who introduced San Diego Community Power to our region recently. We were operating in startup mode, so I needed a partner who was thoughtful, resourceful, and all-in on my business. Sean delivered all that, and constantly planned two steps ahead on our behalf. I always trusted that his ideas were based in strategy, and he committed himself to truly listening to our staff as well as a litany of stakeholders - which resulted in breakthrough work that shattered category conventions."
— Cody Hooven, Chief Operating Officer at San Diego Community Power
“Sean is the rare person who is a great thinking and a great doer, which makes him a terrific partner. I’ve witnessed him do everything from lead the development of strategic presentations to lead big shoots, to developing digital experiences. He’s done it all and I’m sure will do much more with his career.”
— Helder Santo, Chief Client Officer at Wunderman Thompson
"I've now had the chance to work with Sean on two large branding and marketing projects, and I genuinely can't wait to work with him whenever opportunity knocks. Sean has raw talent that goes beyond distilling business objectives into marketing strategies or solutions. Sean has something you can't necessarily teach, and that is the ability to intimately understand the people on all sides of a project. The results are unexpected, creative, and engaging marketing platforms that SING!"
— Jordan Stark, Brand Design at Product Etcetera
“Sean and I partnered on a massive and complicated digital initiative - one that tested our patience and pushed our creative problem solving to the next level. He innately understands the WHY and trusts his teams to execute the HOW. Perhaps his most critically valuable skill is his problem solving; he asks the hard questions and powers full speed ahead to fill the gaps. He also knows exactly when to pull back and deploy a different strategy, if the circumstances call for it. Sean’s passion comes through his inclination to take on quality, meaningful work with smart, collaborative people. I’ll find a reason to work with Sean again!”
— Kate Armbruster, Director of Operations at DesignStudio Network
