I am a brand strategist, specializing in marketing for non-traditional voices. I thrive in places where clarity meets risk and creative rebellion speaks for itself.
In my “formative” years, I studied literature, theater and social justice at Columbia University, graduating with a B.A. in English and Human Rights. Even by then, I had already cultivated a chronic habit of critically (over)thinking everything. Hate to say it, but this tendency has served me well.
My professional career began in Casting for films like Bad Boys II and Pirates of the Caribbean, TV at CBS and Broadway for Manhattan Theatre Club. (Yes, I have an IMDb page with many missing credits.)
Eventually, I moved into Advertising, leading Business Development at a handful of agencies. I also founded and led PS: Group, which was the first “for sex workers, by sex workers,” adult marketing agency in existence.
It’s been a super odd trajectory but means I have a résumé with range. And yes, this entirety of this foundation informs the work we’ll do together.
These days, my consulting focus is on helping creators, founders, and public figures clarify messaging and bring trailblazing concepts to life.
My approach spans marketing strategy, brand positioning, creative direction, and the challenging stuff, like figuring out who you are and what you actually want to say!
I’m a consigliere for savvy professionals who have found success but are ready to take it to that otherwise elusive next level.
I love me a solo-preneur who wants to glow up into something more complex and authentic… maybe even a little dangerous? I will help you shape your unique essence into something clear and attention-worthy.
I speak about marketing, sex work, visibility and self-identity. I write when the mood strikes, my writing advisors yell at me, or I’m THISCLOSE to a deadline.
Carly is the most consistent person I’ve ever worked with. Always available and helpful with deadlines yet never pushy.
She helps me get work done I otherwise wouldn’t and contributes ideas I didn’t have.
