Aaron Kirk Douglas’s Summary
Marketing manager with extensive experience marketing professional services, commercial real estate, for-profit and not-for-profit events and fundraisers, and film screenings. I have enjoyed a successful career in various fields ranging from law firms and commercial real estate to broadcast news and independent film production and marketing. My core competencies include networking, media relations, project management, events, research, strategic planning and the ability to build strategic partnerships.
I most enjoy learning about the latest tools and technologies in marketing and communications and then challenging myself to apply them in creative and innovative ways. These days I try to keep up with blogging and social networking trends and opportunities as I believe they are an important part of the future of journalism, communications and marketing.
