“By creating Emotional Connections - the force that inspires your audience to create narratives and community - and keeping your story alive, consumers won’t just consume, but perpetuate and endorse your product.” – Pamela Vitale
OBJECTIVE: I have been a consultant / freelancer for many years but now I am presently seeking a solid full time or long-term contract opportunity with the intention of affecting and empowering a company for the foreseeable future.
Why I do it:
I imagined a place of both creativity and structure, play and production. Somewhere where we could be constantly learning, exploring and inspiring others to do the same. So I made one.
The people that inspire me have been playing with their reality from the era of the sundial to the era of the touch screen.
Bjork, Steve Jobs, Nicola Tesla, Jules Verne, even Leonardo da Vinci not only altered the world they lived in but created a type of self-fulfilling prophecy to influence the future.
I want to inspire others by creating cutting-edge concepts and exciting, immersive stories for people to sink their teeth into.
I get inspired by the underground, the up and coming, break-through technologies and I want to bring that to you so that, together, we can set the standards that other companies aspire to.

3. HOW I PLAY
After multiple years working in advertising and in
traditional and new media sectors as a creative
lead in multiple capacities, I decided to create a
“story formula.”
The idea was to add new qualities to brain-
storming, brand storytelling & strategy, not only
to make it more fun but to make it truly compre-
hensive.
XYEYE_storyFormula: A multi-dimensional,
collaborative mapping and storytelling method
usable for processes far beyond just Branding,
Marketing and Media Strategy.

their social crew.
Each crew chooses that person
via live or social media voting.
That person becomes the crew
lead on multiple levels of
contest / gaming.

Each crew of 6 or 12 must offer 1 or 2 strangers in the bar shots and ask them to join crew (this
promotes community, social cred, photos via instagram and video via Vine content growth). The larger
your crew gets via live and social the larger the Fire Shot Pit receives. You can have up to 25 shot
glasses in a pit. Reaching this level gets you; free shots, products and access to other contest or online
content.

person team in Netherlands, US and Belarus.
19. CASESTUDY:
• Create and build out: process, standards and approaches
for delivering the Spotzer Media brand (B to B and B to C).
• Identify and define the US & NL local markets & local
businesses.
• Develop a strategy and brand persona via various media
platforms & aggregators focusing on; the pre-established
brand, the still in development products & their positioning,
communication strategy, packaging and web presence.
• To help establish SpotzerMedia as the first global
advertising agency dedic ated to making high quality video
advertising fast, affordable and highly targeted.
• I participated in the concept and creation of 180 original
video ads and their online delivery systems; four different
product types to match different video needs; online video
standards and their platforms including UX/Ui utilized across
multiple advertising media.
• Design and development of email marketing campaigns
built around the brand persona for US and NL markets.
• Co-created a focused brand story and media approaches
for all touch points for creative direction, concepts, copy, UX/
UI, video, photography, graphics, trade show promotional
materials and design.
• The creation of all these standards and approaches
meant everything to the uniqueness of the Spotzer brand
and offerings, making it imperative to understand what their
audience wanted/needed; unique or access-able. We took
our processes into the planning and development; how does
the consumer view video (e.g. behavioral patterns).
20. PURPOSE
What was a real joy for me was to participate in the creation
of a promotional video campaign we titled “The Power of
Video”. This was the brand story and packaging that clearly
expressed the products and services of the company for
the sales team, industry showcase and customers.
Another approach to a design challenge I was asked to tackle
was online video ads and branded fan pages designed and
developed to work in the Facebook environment. Facebook
wanted to discover how to increase their ad media market
with better quality video ad banners. I came up with a
concept of the “stealth ad’ to draw traffic to key area’s
without being obtrusive to the Facebook experience. The
“stealth ad” would look like the standard FB low key ad
style/design but, upon roll over, would reveal itself or
extend over web page while running the video ad (including
other interactive user options), or take you to a Facebook
sponsored fan page or send you directly to client’s site. In
the fan page environment, people can have access
