Managed marketing team in all marketing efforts such as crafting promotion messages, coordinating tradeshows, developing campaigns, and publishing media across magazines, websites and social media. Wrote white papers, digital brochures, flyers, magazine articles, etc. Modernized company branding from a 1970's look and feel. Wrote concise & powerful content and developed design ideas for flyers, counter display signs, web, mailers, etc. for Motorola’s two major annual promotions. Tracked expenses and analyzed the success of our marketing efforts to determine effectiveness for future promotions. Created mailing lists from Saflesforce.com, managed printer & design teams, and tracked $100K in promo related expenses.Enforced Motorola branding upon ACS in 2016. Although the owners initially did not understand the need for branding and did not want to invest time and money in developing ACS specific branding, they quickly came to accept and understand its benefits. Within a year, all ACS marketing from advertisements to trade show booths followed the new guidelines, giving recognition to the Motorola brand in face of customers. Furthermore, designing around brand guidelines made the design process simpler, saving time from recreating the wheel every project.Restructured and redesigned 9 of ACS’s 13 custom 16-page catalogs. The original catalogs were so jam-packed with text, the owners could not even determine what they wanted to cut and how to reorganize it. Working with my design team, we spearheaded the restructuring on our own and presented them with a simple, searchable catalog complete with product comparison charts and pricing pages that they eagerly accepted.
