Core FunctionsManage marketing innovation, customer loyalty programs and customer engagement. Includes messaging and content creation for brand advertising, promotions, communication and brand support for marketing products such as Sinclair’s mobile app and payment methods.OverviewI promote Sinclair's brand identity through a strong aesthetic instinct and adherence to brand strategy. This includes identifying opportunities and new technologies to grow Sinclair’s payment methods, products and services. In other words, l focus on a loyalty strategy around Sinclair branded products to strengthen customer relationships in regard to these key loyalty indicators: brand awareness, perceived quality, guest engagement, enrollment, and overall brand equity.Although my role includes aspects of process and change management, I spend more time in brand management, including strategy, communication, and creative content. As a strategic thinker with solid analytical and communication skills, I feel I add the most value with an ability to combine creative and analytical traits, two skills that are often mutually exclusive.I pride myself in excellent presentation skills and a persuasive knack to recognize and encourage creativity in others. Whether that’s developing creative content or customer segmentation strategies, I really enjoy collaborative sessions for on-brand messaging and exploring relevant customer stories that help guide life-cycle campaigns.
