Nic Pfost’s Experience

Marketing/Web Services Coordinator
International Speakers Bureau
(Privately Held; Events Services industry)
September 2008 — May 2009 (9 months)
I wear many hats at iSB (as I seem to do everywhere I go). I work on the web design at www.internationalspeakers.com. I'm tech support. I do video. I manage databases. I manage vendors, overseeing SEO and PPC efforts. I teach colleagues how to use some of the tools we have. I manage and distribute email blasts. I build tracking reports (from Google Analytics and our own database). And I try to convince my coworkers, on occasion, to consider the environment before printing.

Marketing Director
Fair Trade Flowers
(Marketing and Advertising industry)
June 2007 — February 2008 (9 months)
Initially, the job was simply a video shoot in Kenya, which turned into a conversation about a startup, which resulted in my first “Marketing Director” position.
I did everything from market research to segmentation to web design to PPC research to graphic design to designing the office space we built. I learned a great deal about how to put together a complete story from practically nothing, as well as many of the other lessons a small startup teaches you -- about budgets, handling mistakes, selling people on an idea, and having passion for your job. -
producer/videographer
Charter Media
(Public Company; Media Production industry)
April 2007 — June 2007 (3 months)
I worked with a team to develop 30 and 60 second television ads for local clients. I also made intensive changes and improvements to the incoming media database. My team was also responsible for the production of local origination programming, including two live shows.
I really enjoyed this job, especially my boss, but an opportunity arose that I simply could not pass up. One of those "once-in-a-lifetime" things. -
freelance producer
DCA/DCPR
(Marketing and Advertising industry)
2005 — 2007 (2 years )
What began as summer freelancing job editing video turned into a two-year stint telling client’s stories. Soon I was lighting, filming, writing, editing and producing stories for TV ads, websites, and promotional DVDs. The job ended just before my last semester of college.

Songwriter
Pezhead Productions LLC
(Music industry)
2006 — 2006 (less than a year)
Random connection through a friend, which gave me the opportunity to submit a song for a montage sequence in the film "Pezheads". You can find it on imdb.com. My song was called "Head on a Pez".
I hope to do more someday. -
freelance designer
VIP Jackson
(Graphic Design industry)
2005 — 2006 (1 year )
Unlike most of the other jobs I’ve listed, at VIP Jackson I did exactly what I was hired to do: layout design for magazine stories and designing print advertisements for West TN clients.
The accomplishment for me was successfully creating these ads and layouts, while also taking a full course load and telling stories on video at DCA / DCPR.
