Bio
Steve Benson
I had the pleasure of being Erin Chen’s manager at Badger Maps where she was a huge asset. Erin’s outstanding communication and interpersonal skills helped increase sales and drove marketing results for the team. Erin is driven and hardworking, and her skills were complemented by her careful attention to detail. In a short amount of time, she adopted the key competencies in sales and marketing needed to thrive in a fast paced environment. She is a diligent and hard worker, and never lets challenges stop her from completing a goal. Erin approaches business problems analytically, but will also roll up her sleeves to solve them. An example of this was when Erin wrote and edited great marketing content for the company's website and guest blogs in a way that increased website traffic and raised brand awareness. She was very thorough in her writing and had an eye for detail. She can juggle different initiatives while staying focused on measurable and strategic results. Erin also understands the blocking and tackling of marketing and how to grow a company’s lead funnel. Erin is a self-starter, and she consistently produced results that exceeded expectations. Erin is very easy to collaborate with and she is fantastic to work with on a team. She is truly a team player, and always manages to foster positive discussions to work through decisions. I found that Erin really brought out the best in other employees that she worked with. I was really impressed with Erin’s work and would certainly recommend her to future employers.

Erin is an incredibly talented Marketer who made major contributions during her internship at Badger. She analyzed some of our biggest marketing channels and led the charge on their optimization. Her writing and design skills are excellent. She wrote great content for our blog and created high-performing landing pages for our PPC campaigns, along with leading some very important projects impacting our entire marketing process. And she still found time to help and mentor other interns. I can't say enough positive things about Erin's intelligence, talent, and work ethic. She would be a valuable addition to any team.
