Project: PocketWriter

Spending a decade as a one-person marketing consultancy, I partnered directly with founders, artists, communicators, and business leaders across a similarly diverse range of verticals, audiences, and business models.

Solving real business problems under real constraints, each project moved me further from being a creative vendor to an operator, developing strategies, achieving outcomes, and making an impact without the safety net of large budgets or big teams.

A profitable experiment in applied business thinking, it shaped who I am today, refined my passion for building momentum when things get stuck, and gave me the perspective of every seat at the table.

The project encompassed a mobile-first website, logo update, SEO, local digital marketing, social media management, professional photography, and a menu redesign to align with the family-focused and minimalistic European bistro style.

During this project, milestones included a dynamic visually driven website, eCommerce and PoS integration, in-store retail display systems, professional photography, media and video production templates, post-checkout and membership SMS integration, and Google Workspace integration.
