I was responsible for all development and marketing strategy, budgeting, activation, and maintenance of twenty-six major sub-brand product lines worth over five million dollars in annual revenue with annual growth rates of between five and ten percent. In my role, I evaluated the competitive field, responded to current trends, developed new product opportunities, and executed significant B2B and B2C marketing campaigns.
