I have the responsibility for directing and executing marketing campaigns, sales promotions, tradeshows and advertising efforts for the world's leader in manufacturing, engineering, and distributing wire rope, synthetic rope, specialized assemblies, wire products and electromechanical cable.

I was responsible for the development and the execution of in-store/vet clinic marketing and POP materials for Hill’s Pet Nutrition based in Topeka, Kansas. This included all aspects of copywriting and design, creative management, purchasing and implementation of project based print and digital projects. I collaborated with agencies, suppliers, internal team members and external stakeholders to ensure projects were produced in a way that ensured the highest quality and competitive pricing.

As the Operations Manager, I was the glue that helped keep creative services, marketing and digital print projects together. I had the responsibility for estimating, planning, organizing, managing and executing projects from beginning to end. The project scope could vary from single pieces of collateral to multifaceted, multi-channel digital marketing campaigns. I collected project information — deadlines, objectives, budgets, etc. while managing detailed schedules, assets and content throughout the duration of the project.

I worked within the Brand, Web and IMO (Integration Management Office) teams at Lexmark (formerly Perceptive Software) in the Enterprise Software division to deliver high-impact, high-visibility projects. These are typically budget-sensitive, timeline-dependent and across many mediums. Chief among all my projects was the responsibility for the marketing integration of acquired companies (brand, people, processes, procedures). I served as the primary liaison with the Integration Management Office and the clearinghouse for all acquisition information for Marketing.As the strategic projects manager of the brand team, I was responsible for driving complex projects from concept to completion. This included participating in scoping discussions; following up with individual team members on status, establishing delivery plans, rollouts, and maintaining stakeholder expectations throughout.
