Cofounder of Sanestorm, Andy has more than 15 years experience as a marketing consultant. He has been deeply involved in all aspects of strategic marketing planning, communications, brand building, marketing/sales training and many types of business writing.

Having been a graphic designer and copywriter, he knows the creative process from the ground up. Having managed budgets in excess of $25 million, he understands the management process from the top down. Getting those two disciplines to meet in the middle is his bag. Andy primarily consults at the marketing management level, performing marketing audits, designing campaigns and strategic plans, developing training programs and helping identify appropriate marketing metrics for his clients.

Andy is an adjunct professor of marketing and advertising at the Columbus College of Art and Design, a lecturer on marketing and creativity topics and a corporate trainer. He also builds and plays mountain dulcimers, writes fiction and poetry, and is a self-esteem coach for troubled bassett hounds.

current projects

• Andy is currently writing “SANE Marketing Strategies,” a book that details his marketing philosophy and strategies. The introduction is now available here online.
• Developed initially as an educational tool for use with children, Andy’s TaleWeaver System is a storytelling “game” that can help anyone broaden their creative potential. It’s also a neat way for marketers to take a break, get out of a rut, and think more expansively about the role of creativity in the marketing process. Check it out.
• Andy has written three children’s books for his son, Daniel. “Aquabet,” an alphabet of things oceanic (except for one) is available here for download as a PDF. We’re looking for a publisher for “Aquabet.” If you know anyone who does that crazy publishing thing, have them give Andy a buzz.
