After 15 years as a marketing professional in corporate software and wine companies, I launched Untapped Media Inc. in 2014 to create professional marketing photography, content marketing assets and social media strategies for businesses. Craft your story.In 2024, we launched Mood Board Studios, a photo/video/content production studio rental and meeting space rental in Vallejo, California. . . . . . . . . . . . .I started my career nowhere near marketing, but my first manager took a chance on a 21-year old who had a good work ethic. From there, I moved myself around and up, following my passions and where I excelled. My journey through Autodesk was an interesting ride, from working with national training centers to managing the extranet to executing marketing plans for the Subscription team. I learned how to be a top performing professional, I learned what work-life balance was truly about, I was exposed to incredible technologies and worked with amazingly talented people. I fell in love with wine. I worked really hard to get a job at a winery, where I would be surrounded by wine and where we would taste wine and where I would learn all about wine. I did, but I also learned quickly that wine is a business and that business is very complicated. An agricultural product that is distributed through a three-tier system is a far cry from software. After working on high-level marketing programs for national retail and on-premise accounts, I created the social media position within the company. I ran the digital marketing for 14+ brands at one company to managing 9 at the next, owning everything from writing content to managing ads to broadcasting programs and promotions to influencer marketing. It was a wild ride. In 2014, I decided to go out on my own. As an in-house digital marketing manager, the ONE thing I needed most was content. I started Untapped Media to provide businesses and brands with custom, branded visual content for their own asset libraries. No more buying stock images that everyone uses. Untapped Media provides professional photography that ups your digital marketing game.
