Daniel Gaona Email and Phone Number

I’m a determined and passionate individual fueled by a constant need for learning. Throughout my career in media, I have always looked for ways to expand my breath of knowledge and have had the opportunity to work with many different accounts. From global brands like Mazda and ASICS to national and regional brands like Red Robin and CHOC Children’s Hospital, I have succeeded at wearing multiple hats and immersing myself in a client’s business, treating it like it’s my own. I believe that if you don’t do something with passion, then you shouldn’t do it all.Clients/Brands: • ASICS (Footwear, Branding) • Red Robin (Quick Service Restaurant, Branding)• CHOC Children’s Hospital (Healthcare, Branding)• UC San Diego Health (Healthcare, Branding)• Boston Scientific (Medical Device, Lead Generation)• Alaska Communications (Telecom, Lead Generation)• John Moore (Home Services, Lead Generation)Media Strategy / Planning / Buying:• Build fully integrated marketing strategies that align with client goals and inspire executional ideas• Holistic media planning/buying across display, video, SEM, social, OTT, TV, radio, print, OOHLeadership:• Provide thought leadership by contributing to agency-wide educational sessions & client POVs• Share evolving media trends with agency + clients to incorporate new communication strategies• Encourage knowledge sharing across departments to elevate team capabilities and foster an environment of collaboration, open communication, and mutual support• Mentor and develop the professional skills of junior team members, resulting in early promotions • Establish team processes for media planning, budget management, billing and income recognitionSkills:• Bilingual in English and Spanish, proficient in French and basic Korean• Syndicated research tools (IMS, Simmons, Kantar, Comscore), OS X, Windows, Office, Keynote• Media systems and tools: DoubleClick, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Data Studio and Facebook Business Manager
