ABOUT

I have two favorite quotes:
“Those who tell stories shape society” Plato
“When you have the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance!” Lee Ann Womack

“I am a business and creative strategist – not only seeing what is, but understanding what isn’t and what can be. I believe in the power of storytelling – understanding how to communicate to a specific, target market, telling an engaging and compelling story, creating original multimedia content and producing interactive brand funded experiences. I believe in the power of design to strengthen and unleash the power of a brand. I am a branding strategist – clearly seeing the big picture five years in advance, while understanding the immediate deliverables that need to be accomplished. With an emphasis on brand performance and inbound digital marketing strategies, I know how to digitally promote a business. I am helping our young music artists (and Septien) BRAND BETTER!”

Prior to joining Septien, Dennis was the CEO/Managing Partner of ramp it up entertainment, a full service creative boutique and brand experience agency and multimedia production company where he focused on helping clients define and refine their creative and business strategies, producing brand funded content and live, interactive branding experiences.

Dennis has worked with clients all over the world, collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams to conceive and execute brand funded content and interactive branding experiences for two to hundreds of thousands of participants. Dennis has created, written, directed and/or produced hundreds of TV (received the Cannes Lion for a series of commercials for BBDO/Black & Decker) and radio commercials, print ads, billboards, promos, trailers, music videos, live multimedia interactive events (concerts, tours, festivals, meetings, product introductions, in-store promotions and museum exhibits), corporate awareness and fundraising films/videos and hours of long & short form programming and content for theatrical release, broadcast, web and mobile.

They are the result of more than 20 years of experience and expertise in the development of creative and business strategies, managing digital projects, multimedia and global event production, sponsorship activations, data, analytics, user experience, media and technology. These experiences are supported by the use of traditional, digital, social and mobile media, as well as new technologies and invented media.

“I have a deep understanding and knowledge of the current digital landscape, including website development, online community development, online video programs and campaigns, emerging media, and trends in interactive experiences, social media and mobile. I enjoy working closely with clients developing and aligning digital strategies and providing innovative, multimedia creative solutions – including global event development, production and marketing, social media, digital/interactive marketing, direct response, e-commerce and public relations.
