If you called me the world’s leading authority on how to improve creative work by forging and sustaining trust-based relationships with clients, you wouldn’t be wrong.
I run Solomon Strategic, a firm I founded in 1999 to provide marketing counsel to advertising agencies, client companies, and individual marketing professionals. Trained as a direct marketer who embraced Digital early on, I’m known for my expertise as a brand strategist and new business developer. I’m an expert speaker and workshop leader who also is certified as an organizational and executive coach, particularly skilled in job search.
I’ve handled a wide range of consulting assignments, in both offline and online media, for more than a score of clients, including Ammirati Puris Lintas, Blitz, BoomBox, Brandmuscle, Chase Insurance, Cognitive Arts, Condé Nast, Digitas Health Lifebrands, Deep Focus, Draft Worldwide, Ferrara & Company, Initiative Media North America, PALAZZO | Investment Bankers, PMG Digital, PCR, Procurian, R/GA, Saatchi & Saatchi X, Sotheby’s, and Womenkind.
I previously was President of Direct and Interactive Marketing at Ammirati Puris Lintas, General Manager of FCB Direct West, and Senior Vice President of Bronner Slosberg Humphrey (now Digitas).
I am a refugee from New York, now living in Napa, California with my wife Roberta, and with the world’s best dogs, Alvin and Sophie.
