• Built and maintained the track’s ticketing website, social presence, PR network and media relations• Expanded the track’s apparel line – created revenue lift over ticket sales by bundling apparel• Directed the track’s IT infrastructure and managed hundreds of vendors during eventsFor over 10 years I worked directly for the owners of Famoso Raceway, John and Blake Bowser. During that time we were able to secure the sponsorship of the Automobile Club of Southern California as a track sponsor due to our growing web presence and advertising of the tracks crown event the “March Meet”. The event grew from a small 2 day race to a 5 day festival with over 400 competitors and 20k plus fans each day. All during this growth period we had to be mindful of the tracks history and pedigree. It is a fine line to appeal to the young and the old when it comes to something as passionate as drag racing.My major responsibilities were marketing, graphic design, and web development. Exposing new markets to the race track through different channels, the March Meet attendance continued to grow at 15% to 20% a year. International advertising via Facebook and Instagram drew in record numbers of overseas guest each year.I also designed all the print work and much of the merchandise for the track supporting 30 to 40 different race events each year.
