International strategy and content, and helping brands get through weird adolescence.
Fun things I'm doing now: Copywriting and liveblogging for Reed MIDEM (the MIDEM, MIPTV, and MIPCOM brands), international web project management for Sodexo, agency-side social strategy (vectors: CPG, alcohol, entertainment), copywriting for Blast PR ... and trying to learn German and Spanish simultaneously. Results for the latter have been mixed, but it's cool that I can now ask where the toilets are in multiple languages.
