Advertising might be the hardest thing to define. Specializing in 360 brand campaigns, I thrive in exploring up and down the x, y & z axis in hopes to confuse the Merriam-Webster even more. Experienced in leading teams, shepherding brand collaborations, and generating earned media, I guide work from concept to execution to deliver innovation-driven ideas rooted in strong strategy.
Other fun facts:
I spontaneously write and sing silly songs to my dogs. Judging by their tails, I have 43 consecutive hits in a row.
I was the kid who would jump anything on a bike. It made me fearless and somewhat shorter.
I’ve been an animal butler, a pup guide, and a zoo marketer.
I like cheese. The food, but also dad jokes.
* The last e in Palese is a long, or “hard” e. Most people guess /paˈlēs/.
