Anthony D. Paige
Writer | Producer | Strategist
Hi, I’m Anthony.
I'm a Producer.
I like solving complex problems with creative solutions.
Throughout my career, I've positioned brands on the global stage, launched cutting-edge technology projects for Fortune 500's, developed future products with start-ups, and strategized releases for some of the world's most successful music artists and film studios.Over 15 years, I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't - but more importantly, I've built my skills upon a solid foundation of humility, the quest for truth, and eagerness to approach each and every challenge with fresh, unbiased perspective.
Looking to double your business revenue from one month to the next, or attract the investors needed to exceed your fundraising goals?
I'll help optimize your messaging for maximum impact and superior results - and implement a strategy that vaults you years beyond the competition.
Ready to set the stage for an imminent release, or test the markets' receptivity to your world-changing ideas?
Together, we'll hone in on the strengths, chisel weaknesses, and solidify the qualities that make you the absolute best at what you do.
Stop putting out marketing campaigns that look like everyone else's.
Cut through the noise.
Get rid of the jargon, and deliver your message with potency.
I help good businesses succeed.
You're next.
TEAMWORK
Great teams achieve great results, and happy people do better work.
A true leader gets out of the way, doesn't insist upon their own authority, and has the confidence to trust the team.
Finding the right talent, manifesting the proper stack of skills, and empowering the unique personalities that make a project sing - is an art.
A decade of building such teams has taught me a few things.
How to make sure everyone takes part in winning. How to take radical ownership of failure. How to learn from all of it, eliminate waste, and focus on what is actually important - to the people, to the process, and to the goals of the business.
I'm not a micromanager or a babysitter.
I'm a fire-starter who'll stand in an open field during the storm, and dare lightning to strike.
When it does, I'll carry the vision back to the players that make great things happen - and together, we'll nurture it to grand fruition.
If you're looking for someone to lead your marketing team, get in touch.

TEAMWORK
Great teams achieve great results, and happy people do better work.
A true leader knows how to get out of the way, doesn't need to insist upon their own authority, and has the confidence to trust the individuals that occupy their critical roles.
Finding the right talent, manifesting the right stack of skills, and empowering the unique personalities that make a project sing doesn't happen on its own - and often, not at all. In environments bereft of process or identifiable ethos, reactivity is king. Turning that tide is my M.O. from day one.

Stacked Up
Producer
Acquiring - and maintaining - consistent profitability and timeliness in your project pipeline doesn't occur by accident. Misdirection, emergencies, and dependencies are an inevitability; some can be planned for - some cannot. Many organizations attempt to solve these issues by throwing people at the problem; it doesn't work. 20th-century approaches to project development simply cannot iterate, adapt, or innovate with the 21st-century's pace of communication.
I'm a strong advocate and practitioner of agile, a defined set of development principles that enable teams to mitigate risk, reduce budget waste, rapidly iterate, and enable true start-to-finish collaboration between engineering, creative, and account teams.Liberating your people from isolated project silos in this way allows them facilitates adaptation to change with ease - and results in happier clients, happier teams, and better work.
Manager
I’m a full-stack manager who believes in empowering teams to do what they do best by eliminating inefficiency, and building a culture of trust through clear communication. My mission to increase happiness and health for the organization as a whole - by bettering the quality of life and work for the valuable people it is made of. Happy people do better work.
Problem-Solver
In order to daily approach complex problems with fresh eyes and viewpoints, one must be able to rapidly change the context of one's perspective. I'm an anti-boxthinker, prefer to juxtapose rather than contradict, and enjoy making metaphorical lemonade out of spilled milk. I’m also a painter, aspiring farmer, and composer - the diversity of creative process is my lifeblood, and I love encouraging others to explore their own.
I'd like to help you stop putting out fires, and get some things done.
I'm currently available by contract for brand strategy, project management, and process consulting.H
