Hi! I'm Michael Loscalzo.

I am a passionate, award-winning digital leader with a multi-disciplinary skill set. For more than 16 years, I have had the privilege of contributing to a variety of projects for some of the world's biggest brands.

About me

In my role as a Digital Marketing Manager, I help conceive, execute, and report on digital initiatives. I am careful to balance best practices, brand integrity, design, and legal/compliance considerations to produce engaging assets that drive conversion. In recent years, I have contributed to a variety of projects, including a global CMS replatforming project, a social media overhaul, and a rebrand, just to name a few.

Earlier in my career, I designed and wrote code for digital collateral as a member of production staff. My versatility allowed me to make a contribution to many aspects of a campaign, including web, email, and social initiatives. This hands-on experience informs my approach to managing projects. I love to make cool-looking stuff, but the measurement of effective digital content extends well beyond aesthetics. Powerful tools enable us to build, distribute, and refine content in new and exciting ways. Whether partnering with colleagues around the world or external vendors, I take pride in producing great digital experiences that accomplish established goals.

Who the heck is Billy the Spacekid?

Billy is a character that I developed during my college years and this website is named after him. He even has his own comic!
