Bio
Russell Lawson
Earl was a vital part of the team while here at Cox Media Group Jacksonville...and is sorely missed. His passion for his work and the clients whose businesses he helped grow resonated in everything he did. I've always admired his creativity and his ability to make those around him better. The beverage sales industry is lucky to have him and I have no doubt Earl will continue to be successful throughout his entire career.

Department Sales Manager | Launched & Grew New Category 16-Fold in One Year
-
Aug 2016 - Apr 2022
I rejoined Champion Brands as Off-Premise Craft Brands Manager and was promoted after repeatedly beating account and brand targets to another new role, Craft and Specialty Category Manager in August 2018. Then in May 2019, I was promoted a 2nd time to my current position, leading a team of 3 managers to support 60 sales staff to produce $17M+ in annual sales with 55 suppliers in 6 different segments. I identified and capitalized on an emerging opportunity to promote local products that led to $3M in incremental revenue. Orchestrating an interdepartmental reorganization impacted the company by downsizing my own department to supplement an event department, a marketing support team, and a sales enablement role.
