Conducted needs analysis and audit.Conceptualized, designed and implemented new organizational structure for 60 person agency.Provided management consulting in rapidly changing industry and agency.

I have always been fascinated by the interaction of people and emerging technologies. After focusing solely on the account management side, over the past few years, I developed additional skills in the social media arena. I built and led Wunderman Seattle's Social Media Practice, while remaining the account lead on the Microsoft North American CMG Emerging Media group. In a little over a year, my staff grew by 50%, while maintaining profitability. In addition, we grew revenues on multiple clients by 50% YOY on projects that included strategy to implementation and measurement. Our success was based on: -Developing solid integrated marketing goals-Collaborating closely with creative and media partners-Providing outstanding customer service -Developing strong client and team partnershipsI truly believe in collaboration and working with my team to determine what will help make them successful. It is then my job to get rid of obstacles and let them do their best work.

Our team developed the first social media conversational monitoring program for Microsoft’s US Subsidiary. I led Wunderman's cross-functional team to deliver strategic insights that provided actionable results. From the insights gleaned, we developed influencer programs to continue to increase dialogue with customers. I also managed the Wunderman team focusing on the Microsoft Server and Tools Developer business, where we developed marketing strategies for Next Web, Security, Visual Studio, and Public Sector. I was given the honor of the Team Microsoft award for excellent account management (2007).In addition to day-to-day responsibilities, I developed and managed an onboarding and training program for 30+ new employees. I also created and managed the inaugural Wunderman Internship Program and scaled the approach for multi-year use.
