OPERATIONS, SOCIAL MEDIA, & EVENTSStart-up Organization:Managed operations, events, and marketing for a new and growing small business incubator focusing on growing artisans in Ontario, Canada.

TRADITIONAL MARKETING, WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONSPromoted to Marketing & Facilities Coordinator in Oct. 2013, due to a rather large change within the company. This role requires more than just 'marketing'. Myself, along side the Director of Marketing, rebranded, relocated, renovated and opened nine locations within two months (and, can you believe it?!, with only 90 days notice). Due to this stressful and very rewarding experience, operations and facility management were added to my position at Hear for Life. Through this experience, my current and past responsibilities, I am learning how to be an IT Manager, Handyman (well...woman), Art Director, Community Manager, Clinic Manager and Customer Service Representative. It's a role that requires 'a little something' from everything.

Being promoted from Marketing Assistant to Marketing Coordinator within 2 years of working at Hear for Life is a great accomplishment. As the company grows, the employees do as well - this role was created for me as I had outgrown my last position. Overall, I am more involved in brand development and strategy, take leadership on companywide and local events and launch all online platforms.CAMPAIGN PLANNING & EXECUTIONThis position allows me to be more involved and responsible for the success of all advertising initiatives along side the Marketing Director, such as creating and planning campaigns through multiple media channels (newspaper - Toronto Star, Globe & Mail, community papers, radio, Canada Post Admail, social platforms - Facebook, G+, Twitter, and Google Adwords). I enjoy brainstorming and creating, so this was a perfect step-up. EVENT PLANNING & TRAININGI both lead and assist in booking events, such as presentations, trade shows and service booths. This role brings many training opportunities where I get to work side-by-side other employees and work directly with our clients. I too provide all event materials, such as promotional and educational materials and 'give-ways'/prizes.SOCIAL MEDIA LAUNCH & MANAGEMENTI collaborate with Marketing Director and CEO to successfully build the company's social presence. It is my responsibility to successfully launch all company pages on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+. There after, engage with clients, monitor trends and manage accordingly.
