Branding & Marketing

“The medium is the message.”
– Marshall McLuhan

My marketing must be working. After all, something brought you here…

It might have been my charming personality, or maybe you saw me on LinkedIn. Maybe you just liked the branding on my business card.

Whatever it was, welcome! I’m glad you’re here. Samples of my work can be found below.

Brand Voice & Development

I’ve written for board games publishers in more than 20 countries. I’m typically credited as “editor,” an end-to-end role with responsibilities that include technical writing and design, art direction, and quality assurance.

This largely involves transforming roughly translated rules into definitive final rulebooks ready for future translation. When working between languages and cultures, I am careful to make sure nothing is lost or confused in translation.

This well-regarded game from a French designer is published by the Netherlands' Quined Games. I wrote its rules and package copy, assisted with page design, and suggested renaming it to "Carnegie" from its original name, "About Andrew."
"Lisbon Tram 28," from Portugal's Mebo Games. I wrote this game's rulebook, advised on its layout, and recommended changing its name from the working title, "28 Trams of Lisbon."
Another from Mebo. I wrote this game's rulebook, which includes creative copy emphasizing its roots in Portuguese folklore. On my advice, the character "Tardo" was renamed to "Trevor."

I wrote and produced newsletters for the following Jewish Alliance sub-brands, each with its own audience, focus, and voice.

I built these decks when I applied for positions at Hasbro and Thrasio, respectively. Click images to download PDFs.

I built these decks to highlight Carelon Health‘s value to the State of Pennsylvania, along with their capabilities in third-party administration. These files are not available for public viewing, but I am permitted to share them upon request.

I wrote the marketing collateral for this campaign highlighting Carelon‘s responsible use of AI. The copy on the landing page is my distillation of a much longer recording of Dr. Buckles.

There is a misconception that Jewish Community Centers are exclusive. I designed this campaign to advertise the Dwares JCC‘s diverse member community.

The mock-ups above include stock photos alongside quotes from actual JCC members. Note how I’ve arranged the text to have each line highlight a different selling point.

The campaign was due to launch in mid-2020, but was shelved indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Licensed Properties

I wrote packaging callouts and SEO e-commerce copy for these and other products licensed by Hasbro. I also named the “Bluey Make n’ Mash Costumes” set.

Licensor: Disney
Licensor: Paradox Interactive
Licensor: Sony Entertainment
Licensor: Wonderstorm / Netflix
Licensor: Brandon Sanderson / Tor Books
Licensor: Hasbro

As these projects’ editor, my responsibilities included technical writing and design, art direction, and quality assurance.

I also worked to align all content (including rules, packaging, and creative copy) with these properties’ unique identities. Accurately representing the source material improved the fan experience while also upholding brand integrity.
