MARCOMM PRO WITH INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE, LOCAL KNOW-HOWThis Canadian native has acquired 15+ years of integrated marketing and public relations expertise, including specializations in corporate social responsibility, environmental affairs, issues management and social media engagement, by working my way across the country and around the globe. My sweet spot is hotels, travel, historic brands and lifestyle events. My career path has been mapped via full-service agencies, major hospitality brands, non-profits, independent properties and ad hot shops. Regardless of the location, I’m known for staying hands-on and flexible. Five years spent developing, adapting and translating communications strategies in four languages daily sure helped. Web 2.0 and social media keeps the tweep in me buzzing. And I still think the focus of any pitch or plan worth making should fit on the back of a postcard.I look forward to crossing paths with anyone else on LinkedIn who's interested in connecting core marketing communications capabilities with new media, online skills and real business goals. Let's "talk" about your customers and tool kit.Specialties: Strategic planning, content development (print and web copy, press kits, grant requests, proposals, project plans...), earned media, crisis communications, E-CRM, event development, project management, concept design, environmental stewardship, customer service messaging and situational selling.
