We were the first in the Louisville real estate market that implemented this technology.Set the standard for our property videos. Other agencies were panning still photographs across the screen set to music, so I made the call to create more cinematic “lifestyle” videos using camera sliders, drones and slow pans.Shot, edited and produced numerous marketing videos, agent profile videos, and neighborhood tour videosDeveloped a podcast that featured local businesses. We encouraged those businesses to share the podcast on their social media, increasing visibility to our brand. Constantly looked for new technology to differentiate our firm and our agents. This not only won us more listings, but also made our firm attractive for recruiting new agents.Enabled database system to ensure that every home in our inventory gets placement on social media, print ads, and online adsQuality control lead, ensuring both our agents and all marketing collateral produced within my department were within our brand standard boundariesPromoted and planned quarterly art show events, as well as other sponsored eventsIT Admin duties, which included implementation of office-wide backups, file server setup and maintenance, and helping agents embrace technology enabling them to work smarter, not harder Show less

I started LouisvilleBeer.com to promote and document the growing craft beer scene in Louisville. My website covers news, events, beer reviews, and podcasts which we produced weekly (126 humorous and informative shows that featured not only local, but regional, and national guests). I write articles, news, beer reviews, restaurant reviews, and shoot photos of events, in addition to creating videos for the site.

I also took over the annual event, Louisville Craft Beer Week (LCBW) in 2011, which is a 10-day city-wide celebration of local and regional craft breweries. I published, designed and sold ads for a 12-16 page LCBW guide each year in the alt-weekly, LEO Weekly. I was responsible for marketing and selling LCBW to breweries, restaurants, liquor stores and bars, as well as marketing to the droves of craft beer lovers in Louisville. LCBW has been written about numerous times in the Courier-Journal, several news websites, and local news stations (both TV and Radio). It has become an event that both people in the beer industry, and local beer geeks look forward to annually. Show less
