Healthcare Thought Leadership Video
This thought leadership video was created to educate our clients and potential clients about managed care contracts and to make them question if their contracts are being ignored and need a check-up. While managed care contracting can be a jargon-filled legal subject, this video was developed and written to be conversational, easy to understand, presented with graphics to reinforce what’s being read, and our presenter, Mike, was coached to deliver the messaging in an authentic and conversational way.

IT Thought Leadership Video
This thought leadership video and article was developed to support one of Blue’s subsidiary business’, Blue Pioneer Consulting, an IT consulting firm. I developed this article and video script with an idea from BPC’s Chief Operating Officer. I wrote the article, had the script approved by the team at BPC for accuracy, and then filmed and edited the video.

Cinematography/Editing reel
This reel shows off some of my best shots and is creatively edited to display editing skills. I maintain that my video skills are a unique attribute to my marketing driven career.
Blue & Co. Brand Anthem
The Blue & Co. Brand Anthem was born from a long drive while listening to a podcast about B2B marketing and how the most successful marketing in the space takes a B2C approach. That sparked this idea, and before I arrived at my destination, I had recorded a voice memo, almost word-for-word, that became the script for this video.
The goal of this project was to tell Blue’s prospective clients what makes Blue special, what differentiates Blue, and why they should work with Blue. This video would have to work across our various service lines and industries we serve, from tax and audit to construction, healthcare, manufacturing, agribusiness, and more.
This video became the backbone of our RFPs and cold outreach to clients, and will be the cornerstone of a new website that is in its infancy of development stages.
beneath the badge
Beneath the Badge is a documentary series I conceptualized for the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. This program tells stories to shine a light on top-notch law enforcement officers of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office through their personal, extraordinary stories. It digs deeper into deputies’ lives, showing these public servants as more than just cops by exposing their hearts and humanizing the badge.
DEPUTIES OF DELAWARE COUNTY
Deputies of Delaware County was a creation during my college years with the help of the Delaware County Sheriff, as explained in my anecdote above. This series introduced me to the world of law enforcement and taught me how to make a documentary. At last check, the video has around 1.25 million views on YouTube and 55.5 thousand views on Facebook.
WRTV Toy Drive Promo
This WRTV Toy Drive promo was a creative, stop-motion project. With limited time to build this project, my fellow team member and I found an innovative way to quickly shoot stop-motion in a rapid method. The results were fantastic. Paired with a funny script I wrote, some good music, and snappy editing, you have a successful promo that won an Emmy Award and helped set the record for the most successful WRTV Toy Drive as of 2020.
Simply From Scratch Brand Promo
This emotionally-driven brand video highlights the origin and mission of Simply from Scratch, a scratch-made, farm-to-table meal delivery service launched by a passionate, entrepreneurial family. I led this project from concept through final delivery, managing client discovery meetings that helped shape the concepts and story, as well as scripting, on-site production, editing, and branded graphics.

This reel is a compilation of many motion graphics for video that I have created for many different projects, some for my own and some for larger scale projects for clients.

From idea to script to deliverable content
The heroes run project started as a jumble of information from my client, the hamilton county sheriff’s office. They asked me to create some promotional material for the agency to get the community’s interest in signing up for the heroes run. this run benefitted the community foundation of the sheriff’s office and only had 30 or so participants signed up before the promotional material was sent out. after the campaign, over 100 people signed up.
Original proposal of information sent to me in an email.
Script for a video promotion to run on social media to attract community members to sign up for the run.
Below is the video for the Heroes Run campaign as well as one of the web banners created for the campaign.

Blue Pioneer Consulting Promo
I wrote, shot, and edited this Blue Pioneer Consulting promo for the launch of Blue’s IT consulting subsidiary. The tone of the promo was to positively convey solutions that Blue Pioneer Consulting could offer to potential clients in a friendly and educational manner. The goal was to not only education the viewer about BPC’s services, but provide Blue’s directors and stakeholders knowledge about the IT space and arm them with a marketing tool to cross-sell with.
