E-Commerce Manager at MadGringo.com
Greater Omaha Area
I am a marketing consultant and branding champion in Omaha, NE. I work to help businesses and not-for-profit groups figure out how to be effective in their marketing.
Basically, I make sense of all the stuff that drives you crazy about marketing. I create and execute strategic marketing plans. It makes me happy and makes my clients happy, so it can't be all that bad.
My background includes work in start-up groups, financial businesses, retail, wellness, food, not-for-profit and other organizations. Many people have similar problems and goals, but the tools I use are unique to each situation.
Marketing strategy, creative planning, branding, tea tasting (believe it or not!)
