5+ years in professional marketing industry with 2 years as a self-employed marketing design strategist with clients in government, private and corporate business. At 25 I was a successful Marketing Director of a mid-sized casino in California. I increased the loyalty of the customer-base through strategic marketing, promotions, quantitative research, and sales. I grew our loyalty club by 35% over three years by driving offers and club value using marketing campaigns that "struck" cords with viewers. I found opportunities for growth in new market segments and implemented marketing strategies backed by solid research.From my professional experience I grew a passion for advertising and other communication design and thus started my own design and marketing business and have successfully remained self-employed in a serious economic down turn.Specialties: • Advertising• Branding• Consumer Marketing• Corporate Brochures & Annual Reports• Direct Marketing• Email-Marketing• Marketing Communication• Public Relations• Newsletters • Presentations & Tradeshows• Product Brochures• Packaging• Product Launches• Promotions• Website Content & Design
