Unfortunately, mikesmarketing.com wasn’t available so I had to think of another name. For some reason my grandma in Houston, TX popped into my head who used to say, “he’s not playing with a full deck.” So I figured nonprofits should be playing with a full deck when it comes to their marketing communications. Thus, Full Deck Marketing was born. Is it a stretch? Maybe, but it’s a dot com now and we’re having fun with it.
My background is in marketing and communications management working with organizations such as Kaiser Permanente, UCLA, Emerson College, Urban League and Planned Parenthood. For almost 20 years I’ve had the privilege of working with some great organizations operating on the front lines to make our world a better place.
My experience includes planning and launching multiple marketing and communications initiatives, including branding, website development, email marketing and automation, Google Ad Grants, PPC campaigns, content marketing, print and digital design, research and data analysis.
Make your communications a priority. I certainly will.
I would like to learn more about your organization, your communications goals, and how I can help you achieve those goals.
