With a career highlighted by a main TED Conference speech, over 1,600 national and international presentations, and ten books including the Amazon #1 bestseller &quot;UNCOPYABLE: How to Create an Unfair Advantage Over Your Competition,&quot; I've dedicated my professional life to pioneering marketing and branding strategies that leave the competition in the dust.  Why do customers choose you over every other option available? It's not about being similar to the competition or competing on price. It's about showcasing why you're the ONLY choice. That's where I come in, armed with proven, results-driven marketing strategies and an unconventional approach to branding that distinctly sets your company apart\u2014even in a sea of commoditization.  I excel in two critical areas:  \u2022 Innovation\/Branding: Defining what makes your business not just better, but distinctively different and superior to your competition.  \u2022 Marketing: Mastering the art of communication with your target market\u2014determining not just how but where to engage them, with irresistible offers that make them eager to connect.
