Longtime Brookside resident and experienced creative professional, Michael, is bringing nearly two decades of marketing and design expertise to support local businesses in the Warrenton area. With 18 years as a graphic designer and creative director for national marketing firms, Michael is now focused on helping local companies grow their brands and connect with the community.
“I’ve spent my career helping large companies stay relevant and build lasting brand presence,” said Michael. “Now, I’m excited to bring that same level of strategic marketing to the local businesses right here in Warrenton.”
The new initiative offers a comprehensive suite of marketing tools designed specifically for small businesses, including a private monthly magazine, targeted social media and display ads, and a personalized dashboard to help manage and strengthen online presence. The goal is to keep businesses top of mind with high-value customers through hyper-local, relationship-based marketing.
Originally from Birmingham, Michigan and raised in Centreville, Virginia, Michael is a proud Virginia Tech alum (Class of 2007—Let’s Go Hokies!). He has called Warrenton home since 2014, where he lives with his wife and two children.
In addition to his marketing work, Michael is a passionate artist who paints athletes and musicians. His artwork is currently on display at Framecraft in Old Town Warrenton.
“I’m truly excited to be working within the community I call home,” Michael added. “If you’re a good fit for what I offer, I’d love to collaborate. If not, I’m always happy to be a resource or referral partner.”
