*** One Paragraph Pitch:
My pitch:
For those who need a “marketing program architect” – I help companies and non-profits build and rebuild marketing operations and programs for the purpose of exploring greater potential for products and services. Specifically, my background is building marketing departments, public relations programs, and marketing campaigns — with, might I add, great success and numerous awards. My work has helped organizations move into new markets, dispel misperceptions, breath new life into moribund programs, and squeez out inefficiencies in existing programs. With knowledge of available resources and the organization’s objectives, I build the plans, get stakeholders on board, and bring all the resources together. Additionally, I build in feedback mechanisms for stakeholder reporting and to gauge and improve activities.
