Founder & Fractional CMO I serve as a Fractional CMO and Film Director for executive teams requiring high-fidelity communication assets and integrated marketing leadership. My work sits at the intersection of technical innovation and creative narrative, specializing in bridging the gap between complex infrastructure and market-ready storytelling. Background & Specialty With an MST from Stanford University’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), I apply an analytical, data-driven framework to end-to-end communication systems. My approach combines CMO-level strategic advisory with the internal production capacity of Start Motion Media, a boutique studio co-led by Meredith Rom (NYU Tisch School of the Arts). Representative Engagement & Impact Energy & Infrastructure: Directed the production for the Apple Green Bond showcase (Radian solar array); architected industrial communication systems for remote power generation in Nigeria and Uganda. Consumer Tech & Retail: Strategic marketing and media for the Dreampad (now distributed via Target); co-inventor of the first modular hardware Bitcoin ticker for retail environments. Media Architecture: Designed and executed livestreaming environments for global wellness brands, including Lululemon and Wanderlust. Market Entry: Facilitated the U.S. launch for hundreds of international brands through integrated video and ABM (Account-Based Marketing) campaigns. Editorial & Press Reach My strategic campaigns have secured client features across The Today Show, Ellen, CNN Money, TechCrunch, Inc. 500, and Mashable. Foundation & Social Responsibility Through our foundation arm, we provide strategic IT and media support for mission-driven organizations, including the Sky’s the Limit Foundation (Suicide Prevention) and Ace Coaching. We offer a "Full-Stack" marketing solution—providing both the strategic roadmap and the visual assets—for a fractional investment compared to a full-time executive department.

Best Demo Videos For Startups

For start-up companies, creating a demo video is often one of the most intimidating tasks in the launching process. Start Motion Media’s video production services for start-ups are so successful. Our team of experienced, creative producers specialize in helping new companies craft compelling, engaging and memorable demo videos. We’re passionate about our work, so you can be sure that you’ll be getting the highest quality video available. We’ll start off by meeting with you to gain a thorough understanding of your product or service and the message you’re hoping to convey.

From there, we’ll create an outline that bridges the gap between understanding and execution. We’ll craft a storyboard that combines animation, 3D elements, motion graphics, and live-action, thus meeting your desired goals with beautiful visuals. Once our storyboard is approved, our team will move onto the production process.

We’ll provide all the necessary equipment and staff to shoot angles such as aerial views, close-up shots for product demonstrations, and wide-angle shots for background footage. Our extremely talented editors spend countless hours fine-tuning your demo video.

We pair the highest quality footage with background music and sound effects, delivering a polished and professional final product. At Start Motion Media, we pride ourselves on transforming a vision from concept to reality. Our team is dedicated to providing a fast and efficient production process that works for your budget, timeline and lifestyle.
