Lenexa, Ks

I developed a marketing plan for BKeeney Software, Inc. to increase product knowledge and brand awareness through online and social media outlets. Through a SWOT analysis, I indentified brand and key positioning in the marketplace. I wrote press releases for new product announcements and software updates and redesigned website content.

I worked with the catering staff backstage and at VIP events for concerts at the Sprint Center at the Power and Light District in Kansas City, MO. I worked for many great talents from Creed and Bruce Springsteen to Miley Cyrus. Being the huge basketball fan that I am, I will never forget meeting Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Tom Izzo, Bill Self, Bobby Knight, Clark Kellogg and so many other great players and coaches at the 2009 College Basketball Hall of Fame Inductions.
