What Ralph does best
My expertise lies in conceiving and executing sponsorship programs (including live events, direct marketing and multimedia platforms) for consumer and business-to-business marketers. I also develop and write A/V scripts, advertorials, direct mail, feature articles, marketing proposals, media and press kits, newsletters, press releases, print and online ads, product packaging, sales collateral, sales presentations, speeches, Web content and more.

If you manage your own brand, and you need a heavy duty boost to your communications platform, drop me a line. Likewise, if you're a sales pro who needs some guidance with written communications, I can help. Finally, I'm also looking for graphic designers, content producers, copywriters, public relations pros, market research people... anyone seeking to partner on creative projects.
