Kevin Norman’s Experience

Account Manager

Yellowpages.com

(Public Company; 51-200 employees; T; Internet industry)

December 2007 — Present (11 months)

As a part of AT&T's internet marketing division, I market businesses online and offer them local traffic by marketing them on search engines including Google and Yahoo, and the largest online yellow pages network including Yellowpages.com, MSN yellow pages, AOL yellow pages, Mapquest yellow pages, 411.com, anywho.com, addresses.com, and areaguides.net. I am the second highest billing account manager in the nation on pace to bring in over $600K in new business for 2008.
Owner

Pushing Envelope, LLC

(Marketing and Advertising industry)

July 2007 — Present (1 year 4 months)

When I meet a client with needs outside of online marketing solutions that I offer at my day job, I enjoy helping them by providing complete marketing solutions. This is what I do with Pushing Envelope. What started as a freelance graphic design business has turned into a marketing consulting and advertising business offering 100% organic creative juice and marketing solutions for businesses of all shapes and sizes.
Account Manager

Salem Communications

(Public Company; 501-1000 employees; SALM; Broadcast Media industry)

December 2003 — November 2007 (4 years)

Salem was my first "open territory" sales job and I thrived in this environment. My first year at the radio station I was the third highest billing sales rep out of eight other reps and I never looked back. Selling air time for conservative talk radio stations in Minnesota had it's challenges, but it served to fine tune my selling skills. In addition to radio sales, I also was a part of launching two local print magazines (FaithTalk & The Patriot Magazine). At Salem I made the President's Club two years in a row.
Territory Manager

Employment News

(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)

September 2001 — December 2003 (2 years 4 months)

Here I traded the glamour of the ad agency world for a well used sales phone. This is where I discovered that I have the sales gene. I learned the art of dialing for dollars and the value of good client relationships for repeat and referral business. I also kept my right brain busy by developing marketing materials for the sales team. In addition to selling ads in the most successful employment newspaper in Minnesota, I had the opportunity to launch the largest healthcare recruitment paper in Minnesota.
Brand Associate

Fallon Worldwide

(Public Company; 501-1000 employees; PUB; Marketing and Advertising industry)

March 2000 — August 2001 (1 year 6 months)

At Fallon I had the opportunity of being part of a first class "creative agency." Here I lead interactive projects for bmwusa.com, managed print and broadcast products for BMW and United Airlines and conducted competitive reviews for BMW.
Assistant Account Executive

Young & Rubicam

(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; YNR; Marketing and Advertising industry)

May 1998 — March 2000 (1 year 11 months)

This was my first job out of college. I thought I was hot stuff working for a Madison Avenue agency (in the Renaissance Center in Detroit) . Here I learned that salary wasn't inversely related to how hard you work. I coordinated account, creative, production, operations and financial functions of Ford Lincoln Mercury owner loyalty programs. I also enjoyed developing interactive competitive reviews for owner loyalty web sites.
