With his background in theatre, music and as the founder and co-founder of a wide variety of enterprises, Mike delivers to his clients a street-smart firepower and diversity of experience unique to the marketing world.

A few examples:

• The President of HSA for America put Mike on board to manage the marketing for his group of national health insurance agencies during the toughest year in history for the health insurance industry.  With Mike’s help, they not only survived 50% cuts in agency commissions brought about by Health Care Reform, but continued to grow, in spite of a challenging environment that frightened off thousands of less hardy souls
• A nationally-recognized coach grabbed Mike to help him launch a hugely successful business for plumbing and mechanical contractors.  They went from zero to over $10,000.00 for just one event in only 14 days.
• When the President of the Information Marketing Association needed a top flight copywriter for his national product launch, he tapped Mike to get it off the ground.  Starting with a list of about 3,000 they had over 1,064 people attend the kickoff online live broadcast.

As a freelance copywriter and marketing strategist, Mike’s sales writing gets results that keep clients begging for more.  Driving sales, customer rapport and relationship is what Mike is all about, and his testimonials tell the story. Mike has also produced several successful webinars and tele-seminars and is currently producing more for clients and his own business.  You can follow him at: http://www.twitter.com/powercurvemedia.
