About

I am honored and privileged to have received the Governor General Sovereign National Award for my voluntary contribution to my community, Canada, and abroad. Currently, I am the Director of Digital Marketing and Business Development at 2Gen.Net, an award-winning digital media company specializing in developing sophisticated mobile and website applications and strategies.

Previously, I was a co-owner of Sonic Boom Creative Media where I collaborated with renowned names in Canadian advertising to produce award-winning campaigns.

In my recent volunteer work, I served on the executive bid team to bring the Commonwealth Games back to Hamilton for the Centennial Games in 2030. I strongly believe that these Games can lead to economic revival for the city and leave a lasting legacy for future generations. Our focus on inclusiveness, diversity, and making a significant social impact will be the key highlights of these Games.

    The first stage of the campaign aimed to shatter misperceptions. Along with a new website, an anthemic TV spot called "Fireworks" showed salt-of-the-earth Americans coming together to enjoy Lay's, while print and OOH carried the simple ingredients message. Next, the campaign profiled five Lay's potato farmers with down-to-earth stories rich in emotion, humility and community. Reinforcing this, the "Lay's Happiness Exhibit" (created in partnership with Flickr) allowed a community of like-minded moms to share the family's happiest moments with each other. And the entire effort generated superb in-store support.
    RESULTS: For 2009, Lay's had the best year in its history. Dollar sales were up 13% vs. the year prior, and all metrics of brand health were exceptionally strong. This success has continued into 2010, with dollar sales to date up an additional 7.3% vs. year ago.
