Seattle, Wa, Us

Recognized as the 2021 Trailblazer of the Year & 2019 Account Executive of the Year in the Advertising Department along with 17 Awards in current role.- I love to work with companies and nonprofits that are seeking continuous, high-quality digital engagement and leads that are going to seed their future.- Recent Customer Testimonial: “…Carol has kindly taken the time out of her day to meet with me over Zoom on several occasions to go over the goals for our organization. I've talked with many different advertisers, and none of them has taken the time that Carol did to make us feel like we were not only special and important, but also making us feel like we were one of her only clients. She genuinely cares about the people, and it shows. I was also thoroughly impressed with the rest of the team at Seattle Times as well. I was able to provide information and pictures for our marketing campaign and they were able to match the aesthetic of our fundraising event. To say that I was blown away was an understatement! I don't believe our fundraising event would have been nearly as successful without the advertising help of Seattle Times. I could go on and on and about how amazing Seattle Times is but go ahead and see for yourself how incredible they are to work with. You won't be disappointed, and your business will be better because of them!” Liz Scott, Cannon Beach History Center & Museum~ Leadership, Customer Service & Communication ~- Created SeattlePRIDE Special Section which is in its 3rd Year- Created SeattlePRIDE Seattle Times float opportunity in the Seattle PRIDE Parade for the first time in its history (2023 & 2024)- Created LGBTQ+ ERG in 2023 which is a company-wide employee resource group open to all- Created Jewish ERG in 2024 which is a company-wide employee resource group open to all- Looking to continuously add value to STMS by mentoring Account Executives in our Customer First approach to Marketing & Advertising
