Account Manager/Event Manager

• Oct 2016 - Present

While working with the San Antonio Current Magazine I have been able to work on the company's signature events, to include the first ever Texas Salsa Festival, United We Brunch, Cocktail the Event, and Whiskey Business. I was directly responsible for managing the key components of the events, such as facilitating communication with professionals, including venue management, restaurant vendors, and equipment rentals to ensure efficient running of an event. Conducted on-site walkthroughs with vendors, event sponsors, and management teams to ensure fluidity and success. I managed problems if they should/were to arise and anticipated vendors desires from knowing their wishes prior to event. I aided in marketing efforts to promote the events, ranging from social media, print, and digital advertising. With this position I was able to grow and really jump-start my career goals and passion for the events industry. Show less
