John Parker

I’m a creative storyteller with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration (Marketing Emphasis) and over 20 years crafting experiences that resonate. At NewSpring Church, I design captivating multimedia content—graphics, videos, and presentations—using Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Audition) to inspire 250+ weekly attendees, transforming worship services with seamless visuals. My project management skills, sharpened through BaseCamp, keep every campaign on track and on time.

As a former Bank Manager at Emprise Bank, I led teams to exceed sales goals by 100% annually, building strong client relationships under pressure. My 35 years as a drummer, including 10 years leading worship for 7,000 congregants, taught me how to connect with audiences, whether through rhythm or strategic content.

I’m excited to leverage AI tools to amplify my creativity, from sparking innovative campaign ideas to optimizing content for maximum impact. AI fuels my drive to deliver amazing results and stay ahead of the curve. Passionate about blending strategy, storytelling, and technology, I’m ready to elevate brands and create lasting connections. Let’s connect to build something extraordinary!
