Ashley Simon Email and Phone Number
Creatively driven and collaborative, I like to make good things with good people. At Early Works, I lead marketing across our portfolio of AI-driven companies, shaping brand and growth strategies from the ground up. With a track record as a senior marketing leader in both major tech and media brands, I bring deep expertise in brand strategy, customer insights, product positioning, go-to-market strategies, content marketing, strategic partnerships, and integrated campaigns. If you have made it this far, I promise I'm not a boring person despite all these jargon words. As an entrepreneur, I co-founded Curious Elixirs, a pioneering non-alcoholic cocktail brand, authored the satirical book "Where Does Your Penis Belong?", and spearheaded the "My Body Does" campaign, which gained national attention in outlets like Mic, People, and MTV News. Beyond my professional life, I’m a certified yoga instructor, baking enthusiast, photographer, writer, and avid adventurer. I currently reside in Miami with my husband, two daughters, and a grumpy old cat named Mitch.Research and Consumer Insights | Brand Vision and Positioning | Integrated Marketing | Customer Journey Mapping and Experience | Strategic Partnerships | Vendor Management | Social Media | Content Marketing | Digital Marketing | Stakeholder Management | Copywriting | Paid Media | MarTech and Analytics
