Here, I helped startup clients, iPreCheck and True Zero, establish brand value and footprint by leading business development and creative content creation. One of my key achievements here involved supporting the iPreCheck program with securing a popular brand and its 80 franchises as partner vendors. To do so, I first built relationships with the brand leadership and generated buy-in for venture capital. Next, I helped close deals at regional and franchise levels by generating brand insights and providing proactive mentorship to the sales team. Another project included facilitating the development and launch of the TrueZero mobile app and TrueZero and FirstElement Fuel websites. This involved liaising with the senior leadership, collaborating with multiple creative agencies, and developing the creative marketing assets for the application.KEY SKILLS: Innovative Marketing Campaigns, Sales Team Mentorship, Go-To-Market Plan Development, Client Relationship Management Expertise, Outdoor Advertising, Creative Direction, Hydrogen, Fuel cell.

Huntington Beach, Ca, Us

Here, I helped a foreign brand establish presence and grow the customer base in a highly competitive region by spearheading groundbreaking marketing campaigns and brand-building partnerships.My most impactful endeavor was launching an innovative and multichannel testimonial marketing campaign, Hyundai Uncensored. My approach was simple: I boosted brand and product visibility in a challenging market by presenting test-drive opportunities to prospective buyers at popular public locations and then advertising their unscripted testimonials. As a result of my efforts, the campaign amplified product sales and gained global traction, subsequently evolving into a global brand positioning platform. Moreover, I expanded brand outreach by aligning marketing efforts with the latest trends and event-based campaigns. For example, I attracted younger customers by partnering with and leveraging a massive fan base of an Indie band, Pomplamoose. Similarly, I converted football fan passion into brand loyalty by building sports sponsorships with 12 colleges and creating commercials engaging avid fans. I also highlighted product fuel efficiency against heavily marketed competitor products by designing an awareness campaign around the World Environment Day.
