Hi! I'm Annette. Have we met?My favorite things start with the letter C: communications, color-coding, consolidating, crafts, chocolate, and cats. I enjoy all things creative and love to brainstorm, problem-solve, and maximize efficiency. My friendly, can-do attitude is well paired with my insatiable desire to learn. I hope to forge genuine, non-judgmental relationships both professionally and personally. Let's talk about how we can collaborate!I am a master communicator and coordinator and am often found marrying the two skills to curate efficient systems and processes. Whether it’s leading landscape research and synthesizing industry trends into digestible content or helping people find tranquility and joy in their living spaces via my personal organizing business, Have You Met Annette?, I use my knack for transforming challenges into sustainable solutions. I have over 15 years of experience in marketing in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors. I was the Marketing Manager at an animal sanctuary, creating content that reached a global audience in the millions across several social channels and a reality show on Animal Planet. I have served as the Community Manager at an advertising agency for several consumer packaged goods, such as Ortega Tacos, Enjoy Life Foods, McCormick Spices, and Fisher Nuts.I also spent several years at Groupon back when it was a fresh and new start-up, in the customer service department. But I started my career journey in radio, working alongside legendary Chicago DJ Dick Biondi, leading events in the promotions department at Radio Disney 1300, and acting as the Production Director at WLUW 88.7 FM, where my handmade station IDs can still be heard to this day. I reside in Chicago and can often be found at the Montrose Bird Sanctuary.
