Once Upon a Time
"From a young age, I loved stories."
From a young age, I loved stories. I was the kid who got in trouble for reading R.L. Stine under the covers with a flashlight…and then, couldn’t sleep.
My parents said to pick a major. It was only natural to pick Literature…so there I was, with a degree…
...but what do you even do with a Literature degree?
Graduation. Rejection letters. Panic mode. Time to pivot.
A couple years later, MBA obtained! “Safe mode” activated.
My entry into business was through the world of digital marketing and I was entranced. You mean there’s a field, in business, where you create stories?!
Branding, SEO, you name it, I was in awe of this enormous ecosystem that I had, unknowingly, co-existed with all of my life, absorbing the stories of brands I engaged with every day.
The one that stuck with me most is the story of the Dos Equis guy - "the most interesting man in the world." While all of the other beer commercials showed partying frat guys, the Dos Equis campaign went in another direction - an older, well-traveled, sophisticated gentleman at the end of a bar, drinking Dos Equis.
He’s the man you want to talk to. The man you want to hear tales from.
This isn’t the guy you are now. He’s the man you hope to become.
The World of Business
"There's a field, in business, where you create stories?!"
Life as a Game Designer
"I miss it, all the time."
I was now a marketing specialist at a video game localization company, which naturally led me to question: How do you make video games?
(Back in high school, a Final Fantasy game taught me that games do, in fact, have extraordinary storytelling capabilities.)
There’s a lot I could write here but I’ll keep it short - I moved to Sweden for nearly 2 years to study video game design - the perfect combo.
I then had, perhaps, an even more extraordinary experience - the opportunity to live life as a digital nomad for almost 2 years, traveling across Southeast Asia while making video games and consulting in digital marketing & SEO.
I explored new cultures, new languages, temples; enjoyed night markets and connected with others.
I miss it, all the time.
Why am I sharing this story with you? How does digital marketing connect with video game design?
It’s about story.
From my BA in Literature, to my journey across the world, storytelling has remained at the heart of it all.
You make meaningful connections by making meaningful connections.
You talk, you share - your successes, your failures, your losses. It’s how you create lasting relationships, meaningful relationships, relationships that go beyond AI-driven content.
It’s about connecting with people the old-fashioned way.
I’ve always had this driving force to learn about people and other cultures, and that driving force - it’s the force that drives KC SEO.
It’s About Connection
"Connecting the old-fashioned way."
It’s About You
"I want you to succeed."
"I want you to thrive."
"I want to share your story."
I want to learn about you, your story. How did you get here? What drives you?
I’m here because I love small businesses, local events, city revitalization projects, the non-profits that better our society - all of it.
And I want you to succeed. Not only to succeed, but thrive!
I want to work with the businesses I love to interact with, the places that make me feel more me, the places that improve our world, the places that help me enjoy time with family and friends, the places that forge a connection with national parks and wildlife.
I’m here to elevate your marketing strategy.
I want to share your story so you can do what you do best.
