Business Development at Valley Views Productions
Modesto, California Area
I have been in the business-to-business, media and marketing industry since 1978 when I started in the broadcast and advertising and publishing industry until today where I serve as the Chief Executive Officer for Valley Views Magazine, Valley Views Spotlight TV show and valleyviews.biz web portal.
I am excellent in both written and verbal communication skills. I am also good at proofreading, editing and have a good eye for ad design, video production and photo selection. I have developed the ability to sell and communicate my ideas and promote the "big picture" to my clients and vendors. I have the ability to produce informational, educational and entertaining "infotainment" print, web and video content so that my clients can tell their story in a creative, engaging and interesting manner, keeping the attention of their prospect and weaving in their marketing message in subliminal, low-profile ways so that the brand stays top of mind.
Specialize in multimedia and integrated media bringing together print, broadcast and web.
