In My Own Words

http://DanielAmato.MyPortfolio.com I am an accomplished Creative Director / Art Director / Designer who thinks strategically and knows how to get things done on time and on budget. I understand that marketing communications requires a holistic approach –employing the right set of tools for the right reason, at the right time. I have led both the creative and technical development of branding and comprehensive marketing and advertising campaigns for both print and digital platforms. My strong interpersonal and communication skills allow me to articulate, discuss and effectively present concepts to both internal and external stakeholders. I’m comfortable working in a team environment and directly with clients to help assess communication needs based on the goals and objectives of the projects. I have conceived and executed advertising/marketing campaigns for various industries including: higher education, technology, government and non-profit organizations, financial services, and commercial development. I have had the opportunity to work for clients ranging in size from small businesses to global corporations. “Good is the enemy of great.”
