Marketing
that earns
its attention.

Cuban-American marketing director. MBA, West Texas A&M. Four ADDYs — Gold plus three Silver. Twelve years moving consumer brands, theaters, media, and cultural institutions from invisible to unmissable.

— Strategy with taste.
Craft with receipts.
Systems behind the scenes.

§ 01The Short Version
§ 01 — Positioning

A marketing director
who makes the work,
not just the plan.

Strategy backed by craft.
Numbers plus taste.
Consumer-brand fluency plus agentic-AI leverage.

I’m the creative executive who shoots the photo, writes the copy, runs the campaign, builds the AI system behind it, and reports the ROI — without outsourcing the parts that matter.

Most marketing directors stop at the deck. I ship the work: editorial layouts, paid-media pipelines, CRM and LMS platforms, automated content engines, conversion dashboards, campaign films. The deck is the beginning, not the deliverable.

Through MRY (Publicis Groupe), I worked with Spotify, Coca-Cola, Ubisoft, and Adobe as an ambassador and creative collaborator. I now lead marketing for Empire Medical Training, the American Academy of Procedural Medicine, Siudy Flamenco, and Griffin Quartz — with healthcare-marketing experience spanning aesthetics, functional medicine, and pain management. I build bespoke platforms for independent brand partners.

I’m a national marketing instructor for healthcare practitioners — teaching them how to actually market their practices. I also teach marketers how AI earns its seat.

If you need polish without production, hire a generalist. If you want the plan and the work, keep reading.

§ 02Disciplines
§ 02 — Disciplines

Twelve practices. One operator.

Hover to invert
01

Brand Strategy

Positioning, narrative, voice, and the messaging system that sits under every campaign. The document you could still defend in a board meeting six months from now.

02

Paid Media

Meta, Google, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok. Managed to CPA, LTV, ROAS, and show-rate — not vanity. I build the dashboards myself, so the numbers don’t lie.

03

Copywriting & Editorial

Short sentences. Long thinking. Landing pages, email sequences, scripts, decks, long-form blog, founder voice. Written to convert, engineered to last.

04

Blog & Long-Form

SEO-aware editorial programs, founder thought leadership, cultural essays. Planning, research, writing, CMS, distribution — end to end.

05

Photography

Editorial, portrait, product, architectural, fine art. ADDY-winning color work and spread layouts. I’m the director who actually holds the camera.

06

Cinematography & Film

Concept through edit. Campaign films, brand documentaries, social cutdowns, pitch reels. Color, sound, pacing — mine from first frame to final export.

07

Magazine & Print

Full-issue direction, cover to spine. Typography-led layout built for the hand and the eye. The Gold ADDY was for a magazine I designed, not one I commissioned.

08

Typography & Design

Wordmarks, identity systems, pitch decks, editorial layout, motion type. The kind of work you can zoom into for an hour and not find a lazy decision.

09

AI Systems

GPT copy engines, image pipelines, agentic workflows, measurement dashboards, retrieval-grounded brand bots. Built to augment the team — not replace the taste.

10

CRM Development

Custom PHP/MySQL CRMs. Leads, orders, subscriptions, segmentation, email automation, Stripe & Meta CAPI integration, reporting dashboards the C-suite actually reads.

11

LMS Development

Courses, access grants, progress tracking, community, practice tools, watch pages. I ship the student portal — then run the content program inside it.

12

Team Leadership

Hiring, review, rhythm, standards. The unglamorous cadence that turns a pitch deck into a launched campaign on the day you said it would launch.

§ 06How I Work
§ 06 — Approach

Three movements. One operator.

Intake → Build → Ship
01 · Intake
I.

Read the room before the deck.

Audit of what exists, what’s working, what’s lying. Stakeholder interviews, brand & data review, positioning options. You get a short, stern document — the kind that settles arguments.

02 · Build
II.

Make the work, not the promise.

Campaign architecture, editorial system, media plan, creative production, CRM/LMS build, AI pipeline wiring. Shipping from week one. Every asset reviewed against the strategy, not vibes.

03 · Ship
III.

Measure, iterate, defend.

Paid-media tuning, content cadence, dashboard reporting, quarterly review. The point of the plan is a result you can point at — not a campaign recap deck.
