The Story
IM720 was founded out of sheer necessity. As I launched an international beauty brand, I wasn't sure where to turn for the services and creative infrastructure needed to crack into the beauty market.
What do we tackle first? How much should you pay for PR? Is that the "right" influencer? How do I anticipate costs for events or an effective marketing campaign? What's my optimal retail strategy? How do I seek out celebrity endorsements or partnerships for the exposure I desperately need? What am I supposed to wear on camera? How do I overcome crazy stage fright? How do you find the right investor? Will the questions ever end?
And...now...what does Covid-19 mean for businesses to adapt and flourish?

I know starting a business and trying to make it grow are scary challenges. They can lead to uncertainties, doubts and an abundance of unanswered questions. I've walked that walk.
​
For me, some of those answers were found during my previous 15 years experience in film and television. It allowed me to establish long standing relationships within the media industry and honed my budget-savvy creativity for design, opportunity and out-of-the-box business strategies.
I put that experience to work over the past 5 years, walking the path of a CEO in the beauty industry. More of those questions found an answer...and so much more. I had to wear every hat.
And I was forced to get creative.
​
Ever an ardent believer in the power of relationships, I achieved on-air and in-print free, unsolicited endorsements on the streaming world's award winning, #1 show (16.5 million subscribers), and a multi-million dollar endorsement from an Oscar Award Winning Actress, while having a total marketing budget of less than $3000 per year. Getting creative became my stock-in-trade, and I'm excited to coach, discover and implement your creative strategies as you take your business as big as your dreams allow.
