Producer, Project Manager, Marketing Strategist

I help organizations create marketing campaigns and digital media content to achieve business goals, whether it be to increase sales, build awareness, or educate the public. I'm specialized in the creation of digital media content including websites, video and audio presentations, email designs, blogs and microblogs. I use a variety of channels to build awareness for my clients including email, social networks, search engines, news media, newsletters and ezines, and events. I can lead a team or create and produce smaller campaigns as the sole contributor, designer and developer. I call on my strengths in project management, creative development, and performance tracking to help my clients achieve a higher return on investment with fewer marketing dollars. I understand how technical issues impact business managers at all levels of the organization. I am also skilled in business process analysis including content management system scoping, sourcing and implementation.

Worked on product marketing for various mass market cosmetics lines out of the Paris headquarters office until January '93, when I was promoted to a new position in New York office where I worked on fragrance.
Working out of the Paris headquarters was exciting and high profile work that included global branding, product and content localization, product and packaging development, distribution strategies, and working with product managers from European affiliates to ensure brand consistency on European rollouts. Because Paris is the company headquarters, I was exposed to a lot of mentoring from executive management.
