Angus Norton’s Summary
Over the last two decades I have been lucky enough to have worked in 3 different countries, where i have experienced many different cultures and built some fantastic relationships with some extraordinary people across the world.
Networking, staying in touch, and keeping in tune with the "conversation" are passions of mine in all walks of my life which is the main reason why i am here on Linkedin.
From a business perspective, my experience is very broad across many different businesses, channels, and audiences, and i have established myself as somewhat of a generalist that has the breadth to go in many different directions. I would summarize my core strengths as:
1. A proven business leader with a broad range of skills and experience within hi-tech marketing, consumer electronics, and online businesses.
2. A focused professional with a track record that spans many audience & business segments with experience in consumer marketing, enterprise marketing, emerging businesses, established businesses, and turnaround opportunity's.
3. A proven record of traversing the breadth of the marketing profession and its associated discipline's (in-bound, out-bound, brand, marcom, product management & sales)
4. A dedicated "student" of consumer trends, hearts, and minds, and passionate about my ability to connect brands, companies and products.
5. A marketer that understands, and has a particular passion for the power of online communities, along with the experience to help products "break through" the online "haze"
