About Shadley
I’m a publisher, author, and marketing communications consultant with 20+ years of experience across media, entertainment, financial services, agencies, and publishing.
My career hasn’t followed a straight line, but one thread has stayed consistent: I look at what’s already there, find connections others may not see, and ask what else we could do with it.
That thinking has taken a lot of different forms, including:
Exploring more than 60 concepts for creating new value from existing brands and IP at Condé Nast
Speechwriting for the C-suite at Hasbro
Reviewing existing IP for rights and remake opportunities at Disney
Ghostwriting business books on topics ranging from leadership to higher education
Helping organizations rethink marketing, communications, partnerships, content, and business opportunities
Today, I’m the founder and publisher of Kingbird Press, where I help authors and experts turn ideas into professionally published books.
Through Grei Matter, I apply that same way of thinking to marketing and communications challenges for companies.
Because whether it’s a book, a brand, a piece of content, a relationship, or an idea that never quite got off the ground, I keep coming back to the same question:
What else could this become?
