• Vice President

  - Responsible for management of annual +/- $1 million departmental budget. - Provide marketing, communications and operational support for regional managers and a network of +300 licensed installers. Led corporate marketing efforts for company products and services to commercial and government specifier communities throughout North America. Primary focus being paid to architectual, civil engineering, public works, transit authority and community redevelopment associations and agencies.Key strategic goal was to grow compelling awareness through a broad range of marketing initiatives and subsequently demand for company products and services in spite of dramatic downsizing of in-field representation. In other words leverage resources and automate the greatest portion of the sales pipeline possible.I achieved these goals to a large extent through growing online presence via website architecture improvements, SEO, ad keyword strategies and the effective management and leverage of contact database. Critical to the success of the strategy was my creation of compelling dialogues that resonated with audience segments as well as compelling calls to action through a wide range of creative activities. Successful initiatives included development and marketing of professional continuing education courses, informational webinars, direct email campaigns, company blog and event marketing.•
