Henna and Temporary Tattoos

I’ve realized recently that the majority of the henna tattoos that I have been giving myself have followed the format and intent of traditional permanent tattoos. They have stressed permanence.

Mobile App Concept: Slingshot

If NASA can sling a golf-cart sized probe to Mars in-between the paths of multiple careening planets, I should be able to slingshot myself into the ideal timed path to my destination.

So right now I’m making my way though a book called Unconscious Branding by Douglas Van Praet and it shines a light on a lot of the problems with traditional marketing.

Curiosity. As a young academic I was told I did not possess the mental aptitude for languages. I now have learned 8 foreign languages, lived and worked abroad in 3 countries, begun the process of publishing my own social media study and obtained 2 advanced degrees in Global Management and Branding from The Thunderbird School Of Global Management. These experiences have taught me the fruits of overcoming the expectations of others and the importance of allowing your curiosity to push your boundaries. Truly my natural curiosity is my best strength. It’s insatiable. It enables me to rapidly digest new information, decipher problems from every angle and throws me headlong in the search for what’s next.

Armed & Lethal. However the marriage of such curiosity with years of professional marketing experience turns the innocent puppy into a voracious German Shepard. From organizing the vision of a 500 person TEDx Youth with a 20 person staff over 11 months, overseeing successful marketing communications for multiple organizations and consulting for startup companies on their marketing & brand strategy, I enjoy a good marketing challenge. I bring to the table a background in quantitative marketing analytics (SEM, Google Analytics, AB Testing, Google Adwords, Marketing quantitative studies) but still understand the softer side of brand development and customer perception.
