I delivered high-quality communications on the in-house Marketing team and was charged with developing powerful B2B communications that commanded the attention of CDM’s clients and prospects, stimulating both understanding and response. I designed and created case study videos (pre-postproduction, coordinating, script writing, directing, storyboarding, shooting and photography, video editing, motion and graphic design and music selection) that assisted the company with several award wins of various client creative and solutions. I also created a Video and Photography Case Study Plan that helped to significantly reduce production efforts and costs by 65%.I assisted the Marketing Manager in launching a new company brand, vision and identity, internally and externally after the acquisition of EK3. This was a large area of focus and being the brand police and ambassador for the company came easily with my years of previous experience in branding. I created the company's first brand style guidelines to ensure that all communications comply with corporate standards internally and externally. I also worked closely with the Cineplex Entertainment Inc. Content and Communications teams to ensure brand consistency.I designed and developed event digital and print collateral and material, email communications, website updates, internal and channel marketing videos and trade show materials. In managing projects from concept to completion with a careful eye for detail and brand I also oversaw all creative vendors to ensure outstanding quality and timely delivery. I helped with the design and customization of internal and external PowerPoint presentations and developed templates that allowed teams to update as needed and assisted team members with designing client and internal visual presentations. I also worked closely with the Marketing Manager and former colleague on Social Media digital marketing across all platforms, strategy and creative content.

By improving folder structure on the server, designers and colleagues were easily able to find files they needed making our jobs more efficient and effective.

I elevated in the company and became the Associate Producer. My client base expanded to include creating digital promotions for leading Canadian Retail and Financial clients, Telus, Home Depot, RBC, and QSR restaurant Café Express in the U.S. As I grew with the company so did my video production capabilities to create scripts, storyboards, shoot photography, art direction on both video and photography sets as well as video editing in Final Cut Pro. I have exceptional teamwork skills and worked collaboratively on exciting projects with colleagues. I helped to resolve department issues and was a proactive problem solver. If I was unable to find an answer or trouble-shoot, I sought out who could help move the project forward avoiding road blocks while still meeting tight deadlines.I am very detail oriented and used that ability to perform various audits on video, photography and graphic file production assets. I took part in creating an internal Digital Promotion Usage & Style Guidelines for Tim Horton's that the creative team would reference when creating digital promotions, thus creating consistency and enforcing brand standards. I also helped with the creation of an online client preview site and have some working knowledge of HTML code.I initiated the Social Committee with a few other colleagues. Through various events it's important to have departments be engaged with one another and have fun doing it!

I worked directly with the Chief Creative Officer to create compelling digital videos for the company and various clients, most notably QSR Giant Tim Hortons who was the first in North America to use narrowcasting digital signage in their marketing and advertising efforts. With a keen eye I manipulated food photography as needed to create animated POP digital promotions for Tim Horton's digital menu boards.
