What I do now: I connect local business to consumers while working closely with colleagues involved in sales, sponsorship, promotions, events, publicity and programming on ESPN radio, News/Talk 95.3 MNC and online with Federated Digital Solutions. How? I fulfill a range of both analytical and creative marketing functions: commissioning research and interpreting data about internet markets, radio markets and audiences; designing and implementing innovative promotional campaigns and events that engage audiences and meet client needs; developing the station’s relationships with audiences and clients; and ensuring consistent communication in all marketing output. Whew! More: I offer insight about audiences and key commercial partners so that station output and other activities meet audience and client expectations. Most goals contribute to building the brand, and maximize revenue.Although some of my work is office-based, I spend time out of the office meeting with key station contacts, gathering information, and assisting with events. The job may involve long hours, juggling many projects, but knowing how to prioritize, and meet exacting deadlines helps me get things done. You can expect me to be responsible for managing budgets, and for ensuring the efficient use of resources.

After a thorough self-analysis, I found a great company to be involved with. Anytime Fitness was an up and coming Fitness club, with a club culture and values I could share. I jumped in with the responsibilities of the complete club operations at a franchise location in South Bend. We experienced lots of initial growth, opened multiple new locations, and as a Franchise, became the #1 Fitness Club in the world! The club culture we created makes real changes in people and helps shape the communities. Our mission was simple: Build the self-esteem of the world. I still look back with pride in what we've accomplished, but currently I've been chasing other opportunities.

I moved up in the company from within, starting as an instructor on the floor, working through the ranks to club manager. This was my first leadership role and forced me to manage operations on an ultra thin budget. From the grass roots marketing to the fix it yourself attitude, I learned how to just get work done. My progress showed, as I was asked to start helping with other locations that were struggling in sales. The biggest takeaway was that no matter how much I work, I cannot be everywhere at once. I realized that you need a great team around you to truly be successful.
