I have rich experience working in online communications, social media, education and marketing for more than 20 years. With a record of success at The Walt Disney Company, Freedom Communications, Times Mirror, and more I have proven to be a valuable thought partner within teams that have transformed traditional brands into a digital powerhouse.Recently I moved home to Illinois to help care for my family. I have continued working in the periphery of marketing for a few local companies in which I have notable success building their online presence and digital acumen. Previously I was the V.P. of marketing and technology efforts within a regional nonprofit agency in Southern California. A critical partner leading teams dedicated to developing direct relationships with customers, clients and donors and to employ active two-way communication – these channels being integral to influence an audience while adding credibility and awareness of the nonprofit organization.The programs I develop actively engage advocates and consumers whom, in turn influence intenders by providing communication that occurs through multiple platforms simultaneously. Why engage? Because audiences are already mixing and matching media, therefore companies and organizations need to be represented on the platforms they are utilizing as this keeps brand image and appeal of the organization top-of-mind.My background, knowledge and proven success across a broad array of business operations has enabled myself to tap into my truly unique history and experience to drive business growth and consumer acquisition.Skills & Expertise: Online Strategy, Social Media, Content Development, Brand Messaging, Emerging Media, Online Marketing, Interactive Marketing, Account Management, Contract Negotiations, Brand Management, Communication, Public Relations, Photo Editing, Art Creation, Art Direction, Agile and Kanban Methodologies.
