Hi! I’m Micky.

Over the past ten years I have cultivated a truly unusual set of skills at the professional level: photographer, videographer, editor, writer, social media strategist, social media manager, project manager, digital marketing specialist, designer… the list goes on and on.

I don’t just make things (although I’m damn good at it.) My driving force is the perpetual challenge of grabbing people's attention online while meeting core marketing needs.

I specialize in higher education, but my skills are applicable to any industry.

A bit skeptical? I don’t blame you. Take a look below for the receipts.

When I started at Paul there wasn’t a social media strategy.

These days we have highly engaged communities on both Instagram and LinkedIn, a consistent posting schedule, and engaging content. Every semester the strategy is reassessed and changed based on data gathered both through Sprout Social and native analytics.

I primarily focus on producing short-form video from UGC alongside professional photography – mixing the polished with the authentic. Even our contest posts feature a comment requirement where students offer insight into or positive reviews of the university.

I’m so confident in my data I’ll let you look at it.

These Sprout dashboards don’t even include Instagram carousel shares.

Colby was in a very similar position to Paul – no social or content strategy. Alongside my partner-in-crime, the Associate Director of Digital Audience, we quickly became one of the best accounts in the NESCAC.

Instagram went through a lot of growing pains between 2017-2019. Stories. IGTV. It was a very different platform, but the core value propositions of higher ed remain the same: education, location, community.
