Mike

Mike is a versatile project manager who is adaptable to any industry, product or project. His experience is a blend of marketing strategy (mobile, promotional, print, online) and end-to-end project execution. Mike has proven skills in creating timelines, establishing budgets, assembling teams and assets, maintaining internal and external relationships (clients, vendors, freelancers). He is equally comfortable explaining a production process to a client as he is directing a team on daily tasks. At Varitalk, Mike was responsible for overseeing all of the creative that was done in-house, i.e. all of the pieces involved in mobile marketing campaigns, including legal regulations, producing audio segments, and recommending best practices. He also revamped the internal production process so that everyone at Varitalk understood all of the roles, and worked more efficiently. Visient, a marketing company that serves small financial companies, hired Mike to manage all of their print, presentation, event and copywriting work, including client rebranding projects. His role at Hooked On Phonics was a natural fit for Mike, given his passion for education and creative teaching. Alongside the creative director, Mike directed the production of multimedia learning kits, and revamped their brand standards. Within 2 years, his team produced 40 projects, with impressive cost savings. Mike thrives in roles where he learns “on the curve,” and would ideally like to find a position where he can also contribute his writing and editing skills.
