I worked in corporate, national-level, high profile marketing, advertising and creative services for well over a decade. It taught me so much, I decided to leave it all behind and pave my own offbeat way—by starting a marketing and design agency that specializes in promoting The Darkly-Inclined Creative.
As Immortal Marketing and Design CEO, I’ve been having a blast working with filmmakers, musicians, artists and authors in strategic cross-platform marketing, graphic design, motion graphics, website design/social networking development and original music. To date, my work has been distributed and viewed in millions of homes, from SyFy original (national) programming to The CW Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco, as well as the film festival circuit. My print design work has been on glorious full-color display in globally-distributed publications like Gothic Beauty Magazine, Rue Morgue, Supernatural and Roman Dirge’s “Lenore” comic book.
Just as in my profession, “in person,” I am a bona fide horror/genre nerd, as well as a cult-cinemaphile and “supernatural TV” freak. My dreams include climbing Mount Fuji, premiering myself fashionably on Harajuku Street, taking a Nordic cruise and attending at least one Wacken Open Air Festival. I am also an athlete-in-training for The Warrior Dash 2013.
I love black cats (I kinda collect them), I love my husband—FEARnet music journalist Gregory S. Burkart—and I *heart* my incredible clients and colleagues! Although it’s my job to remain thoroughly saturated in pop culture, sub culture and all forms of media, I’m more of a book person by nature. However, I do grudgingly admit that once I start watching a great TV show, I do get pretty addicted. Current vises include Mad Men, Friday Night Lights (Netflix Streaming FTW!), Gossip Girl, Sherlock and The Vampire Diaries.
My pen name and web alter-ego is Jayda Steele. I may be working on a book of my own… Maybe.

I am now accepting clients.
I develop and execute strategic cross-platform advertising campaigns for authors, musicians, filmmakers and artists whose creativity resides in darker genres like horror, paranormal, supernatural and extreme music. Campaigns are both niche and big-concept, far-reaching and high profile, spanning online, print, broadcast and cable TV mediums.
I animated the opening prologue and main titles sequence for the feature film, LEPRECHAUN'S REVENGE. The movie premiered on SyFy Network for Saint Patrick's Day with high ratings and a favorable Entertainment Weekly review. The film will be distributed under the title RED CLOVER in 2013 and distributed by Lionsgate.
I designed collateral print pieces, email blasts, websites, press kits and other marketing materials for the publishing industry.
I wrote, produced, edited and animated promotional videos for the publishing industry.
I wrote and produced on-air promos, IDs, advertising vignettes, sizzle reels and event videos for network programming.
Along with on-air promotional writing for TV Guide Network, I was the official blogger for MASTERS OF HORROR, GHOST WHISPERER and THE L WORD at TVGuide.com.
I worked with on-air promotions, affiliate sales and marketing to plan strategic cross-platform initiatives and events throughout the year. I was also in charge of premium item purchasing and inventory.
I worked in national ad sales as on-air traffic coordinator for broadcast and cable TV advertisements. Main clients included FOX Network, Bravo, Showtime, TNT and TBS.
I wrote, produced and coordinated network on-air promos. I also strategically scheduled all on-air inventory for both networks (KOKI and our sister affiliate, KTFO). Other duties included event planning assistance and librarian of all promotional materials sent to us from the networks and studios.
I’ll walk this long road
‘Til I find my way home
To somewhere familiar
To lay down my bones
The trouble is, nothing looks the same
The trouble is, I don’t think it ever will
Oh, have you come for me?
Oh, have you come for me?
Pull me out of the ocean
Take me up in your arms again
Just the way with the love you send
Such a strange education
Leads me into your arms again
Cast away, lost again
Stars in the dark sky
Pull my mind outside
But this conversation
Wants to bleed me dry
The trouble is I don’t know what to say
The trouble is I don’t think I ever will
Oh, have you come for me?
Oh, have you come for me?
Pull me out of the ocean
Take me up in your arms again
Just the way with the love you send
Such a strange education
Leads me into your arms again
Cast away, lost again
I’ve walked this long road
Trying to get home
To someone familiar
Like this voice on the phone
Oh, have you come for me?
Oh, have you come for me?
Pull me out of the ocean
Take me up in your arms again
Just the way with the love you send
Such a strange education
Leads me into your arms again
Cast away, lost again
~The Cinematics “A Strange Education”
“The Great Below”
Staring at the sea
Will she come?
Is there hope for me
After all is said and done
Anything at any price
All of this for you
All the spoils of a wasted life
All of this for you
All the world has closed her eyes
Tired faith all worn and thin
For all we could have done
And all that could have been
Ocean pulls me close
And whispers in my ear
The destiny I’ve chose
All becoming clear
The currents have their say
The time is drawing near
Washes me away
Makes me disappear
And I descend from grace
In arms of undertow
I will take my place
In the great below
I can still feel you
Even so far away
Not nearly as invincible as I may (or may not?) seem in this photo, but I sure as fuck am trying.
It’s not even important
Except that the world’s only consulting detective can’t dress himself!
Bless!benedict has actually said that he wears his shirts inside out sometimes because the seams irritate his skin, so it was probably his choice but i think it goes perfectly with the character
It IS perfect for Sherlock to wear his shirt inside-out over a suit jacket. ***SWOON***
