Customer Advocacy

Engaging Fortune 500 brands to participate in advocacy accelerates a new technology brand’s credibility and awareness. Very few new technology brands know how to engage champions and leverage advocates to share their stories. If you get the formula right – it transforms a brand.

Marketing campaign to capture in depth use case videos, featuring users and executives to build greater awareness in the heavy manufacturing industry.

High quality case study videos featuring customers and their experiences with a product elevate a brand and attracts new customers. Capturing advocacy from executives, through end users in the field, builds a compelling story and creates a stronger foundation to for attracting even more advocate customers to share their stories.

Documenting ROI Case Studies

Established formula for engaging customers to share their ROI experiences with new technology in multiple mediums.

Documenting use cases not only strengthens a new technology brand – the stories inspire existing and new customers to explore untapped ways they can deploy a new technology and experience similar ROI. 

Use cases and advocacy can take many forms: Webinars, Podcasts, Videos, documented case studies, ROI reports, conference speakers…. Some case studies are published publicly, and some are developed for customer champions to communicate the positive business impacts internally across different divisions within an enterprise. 


Fun Fact: In the early days of COVID I committed to learn about the origins of Jazz music specifically the hard bop era. I started a Twitter account to share my experiences learning about jazz, HiFi gear and vinyl records. I have accumulated over 5K followers, including the leading Jazz record labels (Blue Note Records, Craft…). I have also been a guest speaker and reviewer of HiFi gear on one of the most prominent Stereo YouTube review channels. Considering less than 1% of Twitter accounts have 5K+ followers, this demonstrates I even have the knack for marketing my hobbies.

Media & PR

Media exposure that transforms your brand

Successful track record obtaining powerful and business impacting editorial coverage from tier-one media: New York Times, Discovery Channel, Forbes, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, LA Times as well as leading vertical business publications.

Spotlight example: Optosecurity

Optosecurity, (Acquired by Toyota infrastructure corp) was a start-up software / hardware company that developed an optical sensor that bolstered the capability of existing security screening technology. The company was at early stage product development, but needed to grow brand awareness to help support ongoing venture funding and buyer/partner awareness. I developed and launched a media engagement strategy leveraging the unique aspects of the technology and pitched multiple traditional tier-one daily newspapers, vertical security publications and specialized broadcast cable/TV shows. The results secured major international media exposure valued in the millions.

Discovery Channel future Weapons was the number one show on the channel for two years. Successfully engaged with the show producers to pitch Optosecurity – the solution was featured alongside two other technologies in the one-hour episode an audience of millions of viewers globally.


Janes Defence & Security Intelligence is the number one brand in security and military publications. I engaged with the international editor focused on aviation security and after several discussions invited him as a guest to visit the Optosecurity HQ for a full demonstration and meeting with the executive team. The result was a two page feature article on the company and how the innovation could transform the aviation security world. 


I engaged with the NYT writer responsible for aviation and security to pitch Optosecurity technology and how it was expected to transform the industry. I successfully captured a feature of the company as part of a 9/11 NYT story that was exploring new ways technology was improving air travel. The article was published in The New York Times Sunday Edition, of the Labour Day weekend – the day that has the highest readership annually.
