I have developed full marketing plans from concept through product launch by leading teams in key departments. Over the past two decades, I was responsible for the launch of two major brands, Paradigm Reference and Paradigm Shift along with hundreds of individual products. I coordinated the launch of the Paradigm Atom, including numerous reviews, magazine covers and various forms of advertising, all of which launched the Atom into the #1 selling SKU for the Paradigm brand. I repeated this success with the Paradigm Cinema Series, Paradigm Reference line and Paradigm SHIFT brand.I lead a large in-house marketing and advertising department with minimal turnover. Our team was responsible for the creation of all materials required to service the large North American and international dealer/distributor networks as well as the extensive consumer base for each brand.
