Bucket Studio is my New York-based consulting practice. It has evolved from Predicate, which I've run for over ten years.
Peep my bona fides on LinkedIn.
My byline in The New York Times, Slate, Wired, etc.
I define content offerings; design products and programs delivering them; and grow or guide organizations supporting them. It's a mix of strategy and execution, based on client need.
I'm an independent strategy consultant focused on the business of content. I came up through user experience design, product development and information sciences. A client said I build content "machines," which feels apt.
All sorts of folks. My clientele hail from the Fortune 50 to startups, foundations to independent rightsholders. See client highlights and my LinkedIn for numerous testimonials.
I'm increasingly working at the intersection of video, content discovery and personalization. Recent projects have been split between strategy, design and management consulting: from establishing a big media brand's content strategy for screened entertainment; designing personalized content experiences and products; and to scaling large, end-to-end content operations. I'm also applying a decade's learning to develop Bucket, a new business I launched in 2017.
Simply put? In a modest and independent way, I'm helping shape the future of content: how the craft and economics of the content business will evolve with emerging technologies. It's an exciting time.
