I get a thrill every time one of my integrated marketing programs goes live. The nervous butterflies in my stomach as the Avengers battle it out in a thumb war live on stage at the Kids' Choice Awards. The sense of awe as I watch Zach King use his movie-making magic to drive off in a human-sized LEGO Batmobile across all of Nickelodeon’s social platforms. I have spent my career connecting brands to culture by strategically aligning their products with relevant and impactful content. I bring a unique set of skills that give me the ability to exceed the needs of my brand partners and led to multiple award-winning marketing campaigns.I start by leveraging insights and data to weave a consistent brand story with solutions across all platforms including ad-supported TV, digital, social media and live events. My strong presentation and storytelling skills have led to $MM of ad revenue from 100s of successful partnerships with Fortune 500 and growth companies. As a relationship-oriented creative marketing expert, I break down barriers to get to know and understand my clients’ goals and objectives. At Nickelodeon, I tore down the “frienemy” walls with Disney to build a strong trusting relationship and showcased the benefits of working with us more closing. This led to increased spending and more creative solutions including for Disney’s release of Solo: A Star Wars story where Nick talent appeared on the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca. This was the first time the two brands mixed IP and became a formula for success on following titles.I have a proven track record of building, leading, and coaching high-performing teams across an organization to bring marketing campaigns to life and surpass goals. At both NBCUniversal and ViacomCBS I oversaw direct reports and led internal teams from various departments including Ad Sales, Marketing, and Programming and received high praise for my leadership and team management skills. My vast knowledge and experience connecting brand partners with relevant and engaging content can address the challenges and opportunities facing the emerging AVOD, Connected TV, streaming services and other direct to consumer platforms.Core Competencies include:Integrated Marketing | Brand Marketing | Digital Marketing | Client Presentations | Account Management |Social Media and Influencer Marketing | Cross-Functional Team Leadership | Relationship Building | Coaching and Mentoring | Project Management
