Integrated Marketing
Integrated marketing consultant
For teams that need a campaign, its channels and the customer experience to move with one clear idea.
Start a conversation
One idea, more places
Good marketing works harder when every part knows its job.
An integrated campaign is not a collection of assets wearing the same colors. It is a connected effort built around one useful idea. The campaign earns attention, each channel gives that idea a role, and the customer experience makes the promise feel real when a person is ready to act.
That gets difficult quickly. A launch can involve brand strategy, media, video, social, retail, digital journeys, service teams and outside partners. Every contributor may be making good work, but the work loses force when no one has a shared way to decide what belongs, what needs to change and what is making the whole effort harder to understand.
Chad helps teams create that shared direction. He brings strategy and creative leadership together early enough to shape the core story, then stays close to the practical choices that let it travel. The result is not uniform work in every channel. It is work that feels connected because every piece is helping the audience understand, believe or do the next useful thing.
That perspective is valuable when the work is under real pressure: a deadline is approaching, stakeholders need confidence, partners are already in motion and the audience will not wait for the organization to sort itself out. A clear integrated direction gives the team a way to protect what matters while still making the practical tradeoffs that every ambitious campaign requires.
Channel direction
Give each channel a useful role, so broadcast, digital, social, retail and partnership work add up instead of competing for attention.
Customer journeys
Connect the promise made in the campaign to the practical moments where people decide whether to continue, choose or trust the brand.
Creative leadership
Align internal teams and specialist partners around a direction that makes reviews, handoffs and next decisions more productive.
Start with the real decision
Make the message matter at every moment that follows.
Integration starts with more than a channel plan. It starts with the question in front of the audience. What needs to become clearer? What makes the offer relevant now? What hesitation, competing message or practical barrier is standing between a person and the next step?
From there, Chad helps frame the strategic and creative idea that can carry the answer. That may include defining the customer insight, sharpening the story, creating a campaign platform, organizing a message hierarchy or clarifying how the work should show up across awareness, consideration and experience moments.
The important part is giving each element a reason to exist. A campaign film can establish the emotional promise. Social content can keep that promise present in the rhythm of everyday life. A store, product page, email or service interaction can turn it into something a person can use. When those roles are clear, teams can make better work without recreating the strategy in every meeting.
That also makes the work easier to manage. Internal teams gain a clearer brief. Agencies and specialists have a stronger foundation for creative development. Leaders can evaluate options against the same standard instead of relying on taste alone. The idea becomes a practical tool for moving a complicated project forward.
Built for complexity
Keep the work connected when the business has a lot in motion.
Chad has spent more than 15 years helping brands connect strategy, storytelling and customer experience. His work spans national healthcare campaigns, retail launches, brand platforms, loyalty and value communication, digital experiences and the details that determine whether a big promise feels credible in the real world.
That range matters because integrated marketing has to work across different levels of attention. Some people will see one ad. Others will compare an offer, walk into a store, visit a product page or talk to a service team. The campaign cannot control every moment, but it can give the experience a stronger throughline.
Chad helps create that throughline without flattening the work. The goal is to give teams a flexible direction that can adapt to context while preserving the central reason the audience should care.

Selected work
Make a national campaign feel like a personal step forward.
For CVS Health’s #OneStepCloser, the work had to meet a major public-health moment with empathy and clarity. The campaign connected the practical choice to get vaccinated with the everyday people and milestones customers were ready to return to.
Chad led the creative development across broadcast, digital, in-store and social, giving the work a human idea that could hold together wherever people encountered it. The campaign helped CVS Health remain a trusted healthcare partner and earned Best in Show and Grand Prizes at the 2022 ANA In-House Excellence Awards.

Bring the whole effort into focus before it gets expensive to change.
Some engagements begin before the brief is fully formed. A team has a business priority, a customer problem or a new service that needs a clearer story before the work starts spreading across channels. Other engagements begin once momentum is already building and the work needs a stronger center before it becomes fragmented.
Chad can help identify the audience tension, shape the campaign platform and establish the creative principles that guide development. He can work with an internal team, bring an outside point of view to a major initiative or help agency and specialist partners make their separate contributions feel like one coherent effort.
The level of involvement follows the challenge, but the value is consistent: the team gets a direction it can actually use. That means more productive decisions, less time translating the strategy from one group to another and a better chance that the audience experiences the brand as one clear, credible presence.
