Jeff served as a nearly full-time consultant to M-Audio's marketing team from 2002 through Avid's $200 million purchase of the company in 2004—a period in which M-Audio saw a tremendous increase in profits and was named the fastest growing company in the industry several times over. He was integrally involved in developing the M-Audio brand and product naming/messaging. He also conceived and co-developed the highly effective "Where do you want to take your music?" and "Get M-Powered" mobile music production campaigns, and wrote headlines and copy for most ads, web content and other marketing collateral.
Jeff also co-architected and co-produced the award-winning global, multilingual M-Audio.com website. He continued consulting nearly full-time to M-Audio and Avid into 2010, representing the interests of retail segment marketing in the development of the rebranded global Avid website—uniting under one umbrella what were originally five separate companies and sites.

In addition to writing most marketing copy for product launches, Web, newsletters, brochures and packaging, Jeff drew on his prolific experience as a magazine editor/writer in the role of senior editor for M-Audio catalog magazine combos. He also conceived and wrote additional collateral such as buyers guides and applications guides.
