About Dawn
Strategic storytelling—for your brand.
I’m a marketing strategist, brand storyteller, and content director. Over the past two decades, I’ve developed narratives for both scripted and real-world audiences, shaping voices for Fortune 500 brands, government organizations, colleges, and TV networks.
My career began behind the camera, producing national programs for networks like A&E, Discovery Channel, NBC, UPN, and PBS, where I learned to distill complex stories into visual, emotional experiences. That same narrative discipline now guides my work as a marketer and has brought great success in this realm as a result.
I’ve built a respected career in marketing and communications, leading content strategies for global campaigns, writing copy that converts, and developing brand identities that resonate. My approach is rooted in clarity, authenticity, and emotional impact.
