Marketing Manager

Feb 2017 - Jun 2018
Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Area As the company's sole marketing officer, I created and promoted all external messaging. This may have meant working with a designer to create a new company logo, or simply proofreading all quotes and invoices before they were shared externally. I had the last eye on everything from the text found on the company website (which I managed), to the monthly formal and informal communications with the company's general council. I also assisted with payroll, as well as quarterly tax preparation.
