GotchaWorks

• Advertising Services
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Success Manager

  • Jun 2014 - Nov 2014

  At Gotcha Media, I was able to assist in revamping the street marketing division of the company while also adding 3-4 social media accounts to their bill of business. My day-to-day responsibilities focused on the street level marketing. I was in charge of managing 25+ accounts & our 20+ employees. Weekly, I scheduled employees to client locations based on their needs, recruited & hired 3-4 employees per week, & made sure the scheduled billable hours were completed. As the hiring manager, I had to find & figure out the best recruiting practices & conduct 5-10 phone interviews per week. My duties also included lead recording/management & data input. I was in charge of all the marketing practices to attract new clients & I assisted with the sales process. We used fax/email blasts, Google AdWords, Facebook advertising & Craigslist ads to reach prospect clients & employees. I became very familiar with those platforms as well as software such as SalesForce, SmartSheet, ATS, WireFast, etc. In my time with Gotcha, I increased billable street marketing hours & assisted with the creation & implementation of their social media division.

Embrace The Culture

• Orlando, Florida Area

• Operations Manager

  • Nov 2009 - Jul 2014

  Developing a business plan, pitching investors & co-founding a company was one of the best experiences of my life to date. This process taught me a lot of about business in general & I was able to learn from the mistake we made in the beginning. We were able to recover from our mistakes to negotiate & land an account with one of the largest retailers in the world, Walt Disney World. I was made Operations Manager in charge of making sure these orders were completed, filled & delivered on time. My responsibilities included ordering inventory, buying printing supplies, scheduling the entire printing process, packing the shirts & delivering the order on time & up to code with Disney's strict quality & delivery requirements. After years of the product successfully selling in multiple Disney retail centers, we were able to negotiate a deal to increase offerings from two shirt designs to eight shirt designs. After four years of sales, the shirts continue to sell in all the outlets & we continue to fill the monthly orders. Show less



Native Social Bar

• Orlando, Florida Area

• Bar Manager

  • Mar 2014 - May 2014

  In my short time as the general manager of Native, I was able to quickly pick up on the venue procedures, responsibilities & managerial tactics. I was offered the job with no previous operational experience but with extensive knowledge of the venue, the branding & the vision of where the owner wanted to take it. I was chosen as the general manager because I would become the intermediary between the work put in during the day by the different departments & what actual happened in the venue at night. My job included 40 hours of opening & closing the venue 5 nights along with 20 office hours per week. I planned all events/promotions alongside the marketing department, realigned our pricing strategy with the C.F.O, & managed a staff of 20+. Nightly responsibilities included opening/closing duties, setting up & checking the POS system (Micros 3700) daily, collecting banks & counting money, filling out the detailed closeout sheet, calculating employee tip outs & miscellaneous payouts, balancing the safe & employee checkouts. As a manager, I would also help during peak hours as a bartender, bar back, door & security staff. Outside of the venue, I was in charge of staff recruitment/hiring/firing, scheduling, payroll, inventory & event planning. During my time at Native, I was able to implement employee opening/closing checklists, liquor/beer par sheets, tip sheets, & various other procedures that helped streamline operations. Even though I only spent three months as the general manager, I was able to reassure my passion for the work I was doing & the hospitality industry as a whole. Show less

  As the Promotions Coordinator of Team Market Group, I was in charge of all creative digital & street level promotions for eight venues located in Orlando, FL.

Daily tasks included scheduling posts, real-time customer service & growing our accounts using advertising as well as creative promotional ideas. My next largest responsibility was working with promoters for each venue to negotiate deals, manage & follow up with results & payments. When I joined the company in May 2013, my first task was to create, recruit & manage their new accredited internship program. Each semester following I managed 8-12 interns per semester.

Evolve Group

• Orlando, Florida Area

• Marketing Director

  • Jan 2012 - May 2013

  Starting with Evolve Group in January 2012 as an intern, I was able to quickly work my way up the company to eventually become a Marketing Director for this concert production & promotions company. Although this was a start up, in one year we became a dominant force in the industry. My responsibilities focused on event production & execution. I was in charge of scheduling promoters, interns, & venue staff the night of our concerts. Inside the venues, I helped with decorating, sound & visual production & overall management of each concert/event. I dealt with talent buying & budgeting, negotiating deals with venues, & promoter payouts. I began focusing on company branding, retaining customer loyalty & complete customer service which is a vital reason for their continued success today.
