Creative Direction for Growth

The problem I solve:

“Content exists, but it’s not clearly driving growth..”

I design content systems where creative decisions are directly tied to business outcomes. By aligning narrative, education, and persuasion with the customer journey, I ensure content supports acquisition, retention, and unit economics—without sacrificing brand integrity.

This work connects creative leadership to measurable performance, turning content into a durable growth engine rather than a series of isolated assets.

The Growth Challenge

Most content doesn't perform because:

  • Narrative isn't clear → Customers don't understand the value proposition

  • Education is missing → Complex products require patient explanation (sous vide, chamber vacuum sealing)

  • Trust isn't built → Premium products need credibility before purchase

  • Channels aren't connected → Content works in isolation instead of compounding

    I solve this by making creative decisions that directly support business mechanics—whether that's paid efficiency, retention, AOV, or lifetime value.

How I Connect Creative to Growth

  • I design storytelling that builds understanding first, then trust, then conversion.

    Example: Anova content strategy across website, SEO, email, and video drove 5.0 ROAS on Meta paid media

  • I map content to funnel stages—awareness, consideration, conversion, retention—ensuring each touchpoint serves growth.

    Example: Combustion's YouTube strategy built audience trust (200K+ subscribers in 3 months) that supported 40% YoY revenue growth

  • I design content that works harder over time—educational content drives SEO, builds email list, feeds paid creative, enables sales conversations.

    Example: Anova's 40+ email campaigns in Q4 2025 generated ~$700K in revenue by layering product education, seasonal moments, and promotional storytelling

  • I optimize for conversion without sacrificing brand voice or premium positioning.

    Example: Elevated Combustion's brand positioning to increase AOV by 20% while reducing ad spend by 13%

  • Improved Paid Efficiency → 5.0 ROAS through clear narrative and strong creative
    Higher AOV → 20% increase through premium positioning and education
    Reduced CAC → 13% ad spend reduction while growing revenue 40% YoY
    Sustainable Growth → Content that builds equity over time vs. one-off campaigns

  • Paid Social & Performance Creative → Meta ads driving 5.0 ROAS through educational storytelling
    Long-Form Educational Content → YouTube content building 200K+ subscribers, supporting revenue growth
    Email & Lifecycle Marketing → 40+ campaigns generating $700K quarterly revenue
    Founder-Led Brand Storytelling → Combustion: Partnering with founder to shape narrative driving 40% YoY growth

  • Combustion (Q4 2025):
    → 40% YoY revenue growth
    → 20% AOV increase
    → 13% reduction in ad spend
    → 53% new customer acquisition
    → 200K+ new subscribers in 3 months

    Anova Culinary (Q4 2025):
    → 5.0 ROAS on Meta paid media
    → ~$700K revenue from 40+ email campaigns
    → 35% audience growth since 2022
