As a passionate storyteller and marketing creative, I believe that any company can go from good to great through effective communication, long term vision, excellent branding strategies, and a passionate team who believes in the company's mission and seeks to inspires others to. In marketing, I found my passion in telling stories through creative outlets like photography, videography, content creation, and through social media. In product development and brand marketing, I learned that differentiation, innovating with cross-functional teams, and communicating the value of the product is key to success. In nonprofit marketing and fundraising, I learned the power of developing authentic relationships and evoking empathy through storytelling and showcasing the impact of donations. As a marketer, I seek to inspire, to turn visions into real life accomplishments for clients, to develop strategies that help drive brand awareness and loyalty, and to create content that is impactful. Finally, as a world traveler I am driven by learning about and experiencing different cultures and telling the stories of the people I have met in over twenty-six countries."I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou. Think of any brand. Nike. Patagonia. Go Pro. They make people feel things. As a marketer, I aim to make people feel inspired, connected, important, passionate, and curious. I love sharing ideas with other marketing professionals, sustainably-driven professionals, and international business men and women. Let's connect: nataliegsmith4@gmail.com
