Marketing & Creative Strategy
Strategy that amplifies your story.
With years of experience helping brands and nonprofits craft meaningful campaigns, I bring a strategist’s mindset to every story. Before founding Changemaking Films, I worked directly with major brands—developing creative concepts, building cohesive marketing strategies, and leading digital campaigns that reached millions.
That foundation in marketing and storytelling informs everything I do today. Whether it’s a cinematic brand film, a targeted social ad, or a full campaign rollout, my goal is the same: to help mission-driven organizations connect their message to measurable impact.

“When I was a young filmmaker, overwhelmed by my thesis film, John was the calm, creative force who helped me bring it to life. His gift for storytelling and music elevated the project, which went on to succeed on the festival circuit. Years later, I invited him to serve as a juror for the 2022 DeSales University Film Festival and the first-ever Photographic Competition. His passion, attention to detail, and fairness ensured both events were a success. Over the past decade, I’ve seen John’s rare blend of artistry, professionalism, and humility—he’s a multi-hyphenate whose creativity is matched only by his generosity of spirit. And yes, he plays a mean guitar.”

"Collaborating with John on the score of my film was an exceptional experience. He paid close attention as I communicated my ideas for the score, and provided valuable feedback. We worked collaboratively, refining each segment of the music until we achieved the finished score. John is not only a gifted composer, but also a remarkable person. I would be delighted to work with him again and strongly endorse him to others."
