04 / ABOUT CRAIG

A business mind.
A creative instinct.

I’m a Milwaukee-based marketing strategist, creative operator, and entrepreneur. My experience at 920 Hospitality Group spans marketing and branding, brand management consulting, and my current role as Director of Marketing Strategy.

I work across strategy and execution: defining a brand, building its website, managing campaigns, and evaluating performance. My approach starts with the business objective and carries through to the content, channels, and reporting needed to support it.

Entrepreneurship and independent consulting have strengthened my ownership mindset. Working directly with business owners and production teams means making decisions about scope, budgets, timing, and customer experience, not just the creative work. I bring that operational perspective to both team-based roles and client engagements.
