SPECIALIZING IN MULTI-CHANNEL SKILLS ISN'T JUST A BUZZWORD TO ANSWER A BOX...

IT'S DIRECTLY HOW I'VE BUILT MY KNOWLEDGE-BASE.

Most marketers specialize in one lane. I work the whole funnel, because building a company and national content programs meant I had to.

These three habits below define my work philosophy and how I problem solve:

IMG-6557_edited.jpg
  • Systematized Production: Transitions from posting "streams of content" to building end-to-end structured workflows that increase production efficiency.
     
  • Multi-Channel Versatility: Leveraging a "video-first" strategy to create hyper-short social clips and educational long-form assets, resulting in 10x digital growth.
     
  • Funnel Optimization: Designs each asset specifically for its channel and stage of the buyer’s journey, ensuring content is not just creative but purpose-built for distribution.

Green Jobs: Exploring Forest Careers video series

A multi-location series I owned from concept, scripting, guest sourcing, French translations, and final cut approval. Each episode also had to hook a teenager in the first few seconds while still delivering a full career story.


A Day in the Life: Forestry Professionals 

Built as a repeatable format, not a one-off: same structure, different worker, new region.
I designed the template once for a member network, as a low-cost, high-engagement way to spotlight individuals, resulting in increased loyalty and PR opportunities, post-campaign.

The Creative Kind Show
(Recurring podcast series)

An ongoing episodic series I host and produce: sourcing and booking guests, running the back-end tech, and managing the edit-to-publish pipeline month after month. My episodic content shows system thinking to sustain high quality output as a core discipline.


AL Media's videography library
(self-directed, ongoing ideas)

Highlighting where I test formats, i.e. short hooks versus long-form structure, what genuinely makes someone stop the scroll. Producing solo, start to finish, keeps my hands on every part of the craft and my instincts sharp and on point with how platforms behave.

Music Journalist for Earmilk
10+ Years, International Travel

350+ published articles with EARMILK, a major international music publication outlet, writing artist interviews, event coverage, album reviews, and more for a global audience. Writing in volume and on deadlines sharpened my voice, holding across hundreds of bylines.


Field Reporter for pop-culture news site, Canadanightlife.ca

90-article run achieved covering Canadian events and the entertainment beat for a range of different audiences, across music, sports, and food subgenres. I'm able to adapt voice to the platform and the reader, then produce consistently against it.

Funding for Indigenous Employers, an ad campaign

A full recruitment activation I owned end-to-end, including written copy, landing page design, and paid Google Ads, designed to reach Indigenous employers. Tight niche targeting beat broad spend: the campaign converted at roughly 4x. 

A guest article built on my fieldwork as an elephant ambassador to examine where ethical eco-tourism ends. It's the analytical end of my range: first-hand reporting turned into a credible, academic-facing argument, the kind of piece that builds subject authority.

I FINISH
WHAT I START

Every one of these went from blank page to published, on deadline,
the same completion discipline a campaign launch or a report needs.

I MANAGE
MOVING PARTS

​

Coordinating crews, talent, and stakeholders across locations is vendor and stakeholder management by another name: scoping, scheduling, and keeping everyone aligned to one outcome.​​

I DESIGN FOR ATTENTION

Building for both a 5-second scroll-stopper and a multi-minute story is funnel thinking; the same instinct that makes an email subject line or a landing page convert.


WHY THESE MEDIA SAMPLES TRANSFER OVER
 

Andrew Kaszowski, CMP
- Former President of IABC London

I had the privilege of observing Alex's outstanding service to the board of directors and audiences of the International Association of Business Communicators' London Chapter (IABC London) in my capacity as the 2019-2020 chapter President.

​

Ryan Starr
- Marketing Manager of YMCA of Southwestern Ontario

Alex has done a great job in helping us at the YMCA with our reopening strategy.  The tour videos he produced were an integral part of our marketing campaign and we have received many compliments on the high quality of the product and the pleasure it was to work with Alex.


What Partners and Employers have to say...
 

Lisa Kurolap
- Founder of FML Adventures

Working with Alex was an absolute pleasure!
He totally understood my vision from the get-go and was able to provide incredible deliverables professionally and creatively.

Mike Crosby
- Co-founder of Greenhouse Academy

Alex is really fun and easy to work with. He took a brief idea of ours and ran with it with little direction; creating a great short video for our business. Great energy and creativity, would definitely recommend Alex and use him again in the future. Thanks a lot Alex!
