I am about ideas. I come up with lots of them. I provide new ways to think about a brand. Options. Solutions. Crafty, fun ways to say, “Hello world, I’m your brand.” In fact, I’ve developed a proprietary brand delivery system, or B.D.S., called Awesome Fracking IdeasTM and I’d be happy to talk to you about it. (The fracking is a Battlestar Galatica reference meaning “extremely”, not the practice of hydraulic fracturing, the process natural gas companies employ to create deep natural gas wells.) Fortunately, I am able to write these ideas down in a compelling way that makes people smile, nod, and in rare moment, grimace in pain. One of the best things about excellent ideas that they can work in digital and more traditional advertising.

That is what I do. So what else?
I deal in authenticity. I craft messages that connect. Warm the soul. Hit home.
I am a Writer. Director. Partner. Confidant.
I like the way ice feels beneath my skates.
I take pictures. Some say I do it well.
I have a greyhound. He sleeps alot.
I love my girls.

So call me. Write me. Follow me.

I am also seriously considering using my internet moniker, twilliambloke fulltime.

Rolling Stone is making history by putting an unknown and unsigned band to put on the cover of the magazine for first time. The contest is named Do You Wanna Be a Rock Star? 16 bands have been identified and are battling for the honor to grace the cover. And this banner was the first digital communication about the contest.
Because the bands are unknown, and we have a style oriented client, I wanted to create a tool that would allow people to use their own personal style to figure out which band they might like. And it worked, the banner drove more than double the click through rate of Rollingstone.com.
That’s right. I’ve got my digital street cred now.
