Principal Marketing

• United States
• Advertising Services

• Human Resource Director

  • Apr 2012 - Jan 2016

  We are rapidly becoming a leader in a consumer marketplace that clings to a two dimensional marketing strategy. Speaking avatars to replace human interaction, mass emails to reach hundreds of thousands of people in a matter of minutes. An over competitive, impersonal, non-selective approach that creates more confusion than anything. We believe that a more straight forward approach targeting consumers directly, brings the human interaction back into the marketing strategy. We want to let the quality and value of our promotions to speak for themselves. Our concept integrates the products promotion into the consumers shopping environment, thus creating a more receptive response. We have had overwhelming, positive results from this approach and will continue to expand it into new market areas in the future. Our goal is simple; everyone must benefit from our promotions, not just one part. Our team spirit goes far beyond our office doors. At a campaign event, consumers experience a professional team focused on representing the product or service. We are determined to give the best customer service and our efforts show through in the success of each event. Our diverse client portfolio has forced us to develop in-store and on-site event campaigns that are flexible and effective for nearly every type of industry. We hand pick team members to fit each event perfectly. When there is direct interaction between the representative and the consumer, it builds confidence in the purchase. This is where we excel…this is where we develop success! Show less
