You may have clear and practical business needs or leap-of-imagination ideas, I can help you identify options and take next steps while avoiding obstacles along the way. Specialties include starting businesses, building brands, and bringing diverse creative, technical and business talent into successful collaboration.

I have a background representing businesses, artists and public figures in entertainment, publishing, and emerging media. This includes work in advertising (print ads, commercials, voice-overs, live promotion), print and audio book publishing, motion pictures, television, theater, video games, and web-based media.

Areas of practice include entrepreneurship, intellectual property development, creative partnerships, brand alliances, licensing and other rights disposition, entertainment marketing, celebrity endorsements, artist management, strategy, and contract negotiation.

I have worked with startup businesses for decades beginning in the early days of interactive media and ‘Web 1.0’, and from there, expanding beyond entertainment and technology into more traditional business -particularly of the kinds found here in Maine. I look forward to helping you with yours as well.
