Successfully created and executed a social media, public relations and television marketing plan to promote the brand to our target market. I was instrumental in developing a Public Relations culture at Thermapod and netting the brand PR coverage on CBC, The Toronto Star, Canadian Living and hundreds of blogs read by our target market; each leading to a large increase in orders and digital pageviews. Worked alongside an advertising agency in order to create and distribute a television ad, for which I coordinated production, selected actors and the set and wrote the script. I also handled sales at ThermaPod, where I successfully landed ThermaPod products in two dozen retail outlets across North America. I also set up digital direct sales through Amazon.com and direct-to-consumer sales at ThermaPod.com. Show less
