Hi, I'm Dennis McCarthy

I help brands and communities tell better stories. With a background in journalism, advertising, and design, I've spent the last decade building marketing campaigns that connect with audiences and drive measurable results. My career spans publishing, communications, and creative direction — where I've grown readership, increased ad revenue, and boosted social engagement through thoughtful strategy and execution.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me behind a camera, fine-tuning a design, or hanging out with my dog Atticus. I believe the best marketing blends creativity with authenticity, and that's the approach I bring to every project.

I bring together strategy, creativity, and execution. My expertise bridges marketing, communications, and design — giving me the versatility to manage campaigns from concept through delivery.

• Integrated Campaign Management
• Brand Storytelling & Content Strategy
• Digital & Social Media Marketing
• Email Marketing & PR
• Design (Adobe CC, Figma)
• Web (WordPress, SEO, HTML/CSS)

Whether it's increasing readership, designing creative assets, or leading cross-functional teams, I aim to make marketing both effective and enjoyable.

Here are a few highlights from recent projects. For more, visit my portfolio archive.
