Agile, Hands-On Marketing Communications Management - Content Creation, Writing/editing, Graphic Design/Brandign, Sales Collateral Design, Lead-Gen, Sales Enablement, Brand Management
I aim to prove Dilbert wrong...
I keep one foot in marketing communications management and production, and one foot in IT and web development.
Branding and creative marketing content only works with the technical and strategic marketing know-how to create a wide variety of traditional and online projects ranging from advertising, content creation and sales enablement, creative direction, web design/development, event management, and more.
I play dirty...
Too many "hands-on" managers only focus on project timelines. I make it a point to be truly in the trenches, problem-solving… creatively planning strategic marketing initiatives and literally bringing those ideas to life, integrating traditional and electronic marketing with a twist.
Energizer Bunny...
Despite copyright infingements, this recent nickname came from my tenacious nature (specifically by outlasting the soul-draining tradeshow booth setup experience). It's a collaborative approach to any project; and my goal is to lead by example of endless energy in order to meet deadlines. You can't ask your team to do anything you aren't willing to do yourself.
No moss...
How can you keep things interesting if you are stagnating? Technology is moving quickly; constantly changing the approach to marketing and the need to continue filling that quiver with more skills. Every day proves a chance to make new progress- discovering something new and making a difference with yourself, your team, and your organization.
Cheshire grin...
"A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest men." Gene Wilder put it best as Willy Wonka; but it can tenuously be traced back to the poet, Horace. Humor is my core; a way to motivate, mediate, and even meditate. It can be too easily underestimated at face value; not realizing the underlying seriousness and requisite insightfulness that lies behind!
