Build and maintain valued partnerships with various clients from Nike to COUNTRY Financial. Each day we take a step towards improving/maintaining brand image by creating awe-inspiring and impactful events. From budget management to ideation to problem solving, every day is a different challenge.

I spend my days either on the road or at my desk managing a team of 5 guys who control the mobile assets we use to create mind blowing events on behalf of the US Army. Working for such a noble and patriotic cause encourages me to work harder and with more enthusiasm everyday than I ever thought possible. I handle the creation, organization and logistics from site selection, to asset selection and everything else that goes into creating an interactive zone that carries the US Army brand in a positive light. Working at high schools, colleges and NHRA races, we cater our offerings to the needs and wants of our audience in order to ensure that they not only enjoy their time with us, but that they leave with a more positive view of the Army than when they entered. Our Strength in Action Zones may come off at first glance as just an entertainment center with aviation simulators, fitness challenges and authentic Army equipment to try on, but it is truly a carefully crafted branding event.

I work with an awesome team of account executives to manage and create awe-inspiring and brand-distinguishing live events for the Office Depot Racing(NASCAR) division of Office Depot. While day to day responsibilities vary greatly, a majority of my time is spent working under tight deadlines (with a race almost every weekend, time becomes a luxury we don't have) to create all the materials necessary to execute a flawless activation. Other frequent duties include sponsorship proposal evaluation; client interfacing to ensure needs/requests are met; event creation(as lead or co-lead); and of course anything else that is asked...I'm the intern and that's part of the gig.

I used my time off to give back to the community while simultaneously doing something I enjoy. I also got a chance to polish my Spanish a little bit as an added benefit. During my 4 months at LitNet, I was involved in the improvement of the marketing and outreach programs to improve both volunteer and student recruitment. These programs involved everything from creating posters and advertisements for local usage, helping with the organization and execution of major fundraising events(i.e. Busking for Books), and helping to create improved materials for recruiting events. One of the most amazing parts of this job was creating advertising/materials that were provocative and intriguing to both volunteers (predominantly English speakers) and students (predominantly Spanish speakers). It was a great challenge but incredibly rewarding.

Were just a small agency founded by 3 UW-Madison graduates with a big outlook working to create marketing strategy and solutions for area businesses. We created the idea not for money but out of our enthusiasm for creating ground breaking ideas and getting some great experience. Our recent projects have included work in a variety of categories ranging from customer acquisition strategy to logo creation and brand building to intra-company promotions.Our clientele has varied as widely as the work we have completed including student organizations, local businesses and one nationwide client.

My time at BWIT was my first step out of the shelter of the college classroom and into the real world. And it was an eye opening one. My daily duties included maintaining an organized and smoothly operating sales office. I frequently performed B2B sales calls both in person and over the phone, responded to RFP's with carefully worded proposals, drafted contracts and performed other administrative duties utilizing the Microsoft Office Suite. I also was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to use some Office programs as well as the Adobe suite to create print and web advertisements.

Worked on direct marketing materials such as direct mail and cold calling systems in order to improve the processes that were in place
