I have 11 years of Marketing and Advertising experience, which I prepared for via an undergraduate and graduate degrees. For the latter 7 years I worked as the Advertising and Marketing Manager at the Corporate office of ERA Real Estate. Following this career, I chose to pursue a different career in education and worked as an elementary teacher for 6 years, then choose to work as a stay at home mom with my two small children. Now that my children are both in school, I am now ready to re-embark into the working world once more.
As the Advertising and Direct Marketing Manager I believe that my proven skills combined with my creativity, attention to detail, and strong work ethic enable me as an ideal candidate for this position. Whether academically or professionally, I hold a high degree of experience, expertise, energy, and enthusiasm within my assignments. I have managed the overall branding image for ERA, along with being the liaison between our creative agency on layout, design, and production, and on print and advertising campaigns, including working one on one with our internet/technology group. I also led marketing and sponsorship initiatives, advertising and media planning, and direct mail programs, plus many other marketing programs in a rapidly changing environment. I am computer savvy and work with websites such as Facebook and Twitter. I am Microsoft Work, Excel, and PowerPoint savvy as well.
I bring enthusiasm and spirit to all that I do. I devote myself full heartedly and look for various avenues to help reach all types of audiences. I have every confidence that my personality, enthusiasm, and communication skills, combined with my marketing skills and education will make an outstanding contribution to the success of your business. I have creative problem solving abilities and would like to excel in a new marketing position.
