It’s been a busy couple of years since I left Access.
To recap, I still do consulting with Access when they need my help and count many of their people among my dearest friends.
I have about a half dozen regular clients that keep me busy. I am honored by their trust.
Other than that, I stay busy with personal projects. I play a little guitar. I volunteer with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, an organization that builds and delivers beds for kids who don’t have them. I am also active in my church.
I published my first book last fall and am working on an audiobook with the help of several friends. Life is glorious.
Redball Advertising & Public Relations is my advertising consultancy. I provide advertising, public relations, and marketing services for right-sized clients. My goal is to develop a genuine relationship with brands and act as an advocate for them in a changing marketplace.
I have enjoyed a very good career in advertising working with brands such as Kroger, M3
Harris, Virginia Tech, The Fenway Group, Appalachian Power, and many others. I have won dozens of awards for advertising and public relations and have been awarded the Silver Medal from AAF and inducted into the Marshall University Mass Media Hall of Fame. I am focused on working with clients who are making an impact in the community and budget or compensation is not a big concern for me at this point of my career.
I occasionally accept interesting one-off assignments or freelance as my schedule allows.
Join me in working with great service organizations like Sleep in Heavenly Peace and Bradley Free Clinic.
Shine: The Legacy of Roanoke's Advertising Men and Women
One of the most rewarding projects in my career was writing and producing the story of advertising in Roanoke. This features many of the legends of Roanoke advertising as well as commercials from days gone by. It’s free to view.
Big ups to my creative partner on this project, Dave Perry. Dave is now working in Hollywood as a DP and cameraman. Check out his website here.
