Strategy first.
Execution that proves it.

I've spent 15 years at the intersection of content strategy and production — building programs that don't just ship content, but move numbers. At Woobox I built the entire content function from scratch, using competitor SEO mapping, high-intent keyword strategy, and paid search alignment to deliver 50% user growth year-over-year for three straight years.

My earlier work spans gaming and entertainment — campaigns for Lord of the Rings Online, Dungeons & Dragons, and Star Trek at WB Games — and more recently, video-driven campaigns for SaaS and eCommerce brands where hook-first production strategies drove a 570% engagement lift and a 90% Black Friday revenue increase.

I think in systems, write for real audiences, and use AI as a research tool while keeping strategy and execution human. Open to senior content roles and consulting engagements.

Star Trek Timelines

Content Marketing Manager

Starting by assembling an AV studio, Kyle was responsible for bottom-to-top in-house video production, building the processes and pipelines for on-demand and livestreamed video production.

Kyle also integrated brand strategy into marketing copy and communications, blog posts, product guides, and marketing key art development.

 

DC: Infinite Crisis

For launch and live, Infinite Crisis marketing campaigns required collaboration between digital marketing, web, and product teams. Kyle helped develop new processes for trailer scripting and video content, working within an agile project management process.

Content work came in a broad variety: online character pages, official announcements, written game guides, live streams, blog posts, email campaigns, script-writing for character spotlight trailers, and banner ad copy-writing and copy-editing.

The Lord of the Rings Online

Website content for Lord of the Rings Online adheres to British English in a tone of voice that recalls the iconic epic fantasy storytelling of the book trilogy upon which the product is based.

All other copy could be far more succinct. This has made every iteration of LOTRO.com a unique set of challenges, from planning, researching, and writing game guides for new players to enticing and informing potential returning players of new content.

LOTRO: Helm's Deep Expansion

Creating the Helm's Deep website involved managing and leading cross-departmental meetings with game designers, web designers, 2D/3D artists, and brand specialists. 

Dungeons & Dragons Online

Dungeons & Dragons Online is a complex action-RPG that's challenging for new players. So as part of overall content strategy for DDO.com, Kyle strove for new player guides with input from influential community veterans. This required working very closely with the community leads to ask effective questions and drive social engagement for news, game guides, features, and in-game events.

Later on, Kyle developed expansion product brand positioning and copy voice and tone.
