About Casey Cordes
A note about Casey, from and by Casey:
I have successfully forged a career that has spanned an ocean and a sea, and have operated professionally in Miami, NYC, Amsterdam and Africa.
The clientele I have serviced range from start-ups to famous local establishments to numerous Fortune 500 entities.
I have been an actual CEO. I have served as a Creative Director numerous times, as well as a minority partner with Reality TV personalities where I was heavily involved in every aspect of launching & running a world-wide business as one of that company’s original founders. I have also co-run a boutique advertising agency, have started a company of my own, and have served as a Social Media Strategist. I am a writer by trade.
I was the Creative Director for Branding Forces, Ruthless & Toothless, Skelly & Co w/Inked Mag, Belzona Boats, Apptigo & Creative Propulsion Labs. I was a Senior Copywriter for Sapient. I was the social media strategist and copywriter for BGT (now PwC). I was the Senior Copywriter and ACD for Macias Creative. I have freelanced for J Walter Thompson Amsterdam as well as Zimmerman, Nobox and about 40 other companies.
I also wrote an entire National Geographic television series, helping produce and direct it as well.
I traveled to Africa and wrote for three safari companies, including the best in Africa: Green Footprint Adventures, TrueAfrica and Asilia Africa.
Brands I have worked on include but are not limited to: Amazon. Dodge. Chrysler. Jeep. Toyota. Procter & Gamble Family. PwC. Miami Heat. Carnival Cruise Lines. Celebrity Cruise Lines. ABN Amro Bank. Marriot. ADT. First Data. Value City Furniture. Zignum Mezcal. Tampico Beverages (a Pepsico Company). Baptist Hospital. Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. Doctors Hospital. The Versace Mansion. The Setai South Beach. Miami Beach Polo Cup. Diamond CBD (and 8+ sub-brands under it). Belzona Boats. University of Miami. Florida International University (FIU).
I have also worked on 10+ real estate projects.
For Belzona Boats, my partner and I completely built an internal marketing team. We rebuilt their brand image. Crafted a new brand identity. And gave them a powerful voice in a tough field to open in.
For Creative Propulsion Labs, my partner and I built a team of nearly 30 to service a client who grew at a rate of over 30% monthly. From producing trade shows to leading the building of a customer service team to full service advertising and design, we did it all, completely hands on.
As the CEO of Apptigo, I proudly co-lead lead my team to create four totally super awesome, perhaps even “Rad”, apps, starting with the “Score” Matchmaker pure personality dating game app. Next came “Rate My Pussycat.” This was the ultimate cat lover’s app, complete with a built-in adoption platform. “Rate My Pooch” shortly followed, the second in the “Rate” series, for dog lovers. DinoMight was the 4th app. Featuring caveman, dinosaurs, fiery plants and rising lava, this animated game lets users “Fart Their Way To Freedom.” Because caveman Rex has to fart to escape his enemies. It was a prehistoric gas.
From creating full Brand Identity to penning scripts of all sorts to running creative business endeavors, I have written, concepted, managed, lead, strategerizeded and plotted for creating the afore-mentioned and nearly everything in between.
I always carry a pen. I have the stained pockets to prove this, unfortunately.
Specialties: The creative realm. Creating that which does not exist. Leading creative teams to reach their maximum potential Blowing minds. Bringing to life well-thought out, richly-crafted concepts. Leading creative teams to reach their maximum potential. And fully able to suit up with Wall Street and get down to business.
Casey thanks you for your time.
