When I was little, one of my favorite stories was "Caps for Sale: A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business." For those who led a deprived childhood (or somehow escaped parenthood without reading it), the book is about a traveling salesman who walks the countryside selling his caps, carrying his entire inventory stacked on his head. Unlike the peddler trying to offload his caps to passersby, I have traveled through my career collecting caps to don upon my head. When attempting to craft my job title, I determined it too cumbersome to try to list all the functions I actually perform, and settled with highlighting my favorite: Marketing & Communications.I fell into Marketing along the way, not because it was a default choice, as it so often is for many Liberal Arts majors, but because I was drawn to the marriage of the creative and the analytic, and the magic of being able to drive behavior. Throughout my career, I have sought to take on responsibility and learn new skills whenever I saw it would be of value to my company or my coworkers. I am at my best when I have a challenge to solve, from mundane workflow issues that can grind productivity to a halt, to crafting a message that will connect a customer to a brand on an emotional level. A good day is a solution found or created, that makes tomorrow a little better.
