I had to opportunity to work with Katrina in our Lakeland office, she is a talented artist with a great upbeat personality. She is always willing to jump in an assist others when needed. She is prompt, creative, and detail oriented. Katrina has an ability to learn quickly, navigate through detail oriented sales systems and find her way with little or no guidance.

Frank Nicsinger

Katrina is a very detail oriented sales executive who is very capable and professional. I would highly recommend her.

      My journey with this organization moved quickly. I began as an intern cross training throughout the advertising department and was hired upon graduation to pilot a new position called an account manager. This role was designed to offer support to a team of account executives in both sales and creative areas. A few months later I was promoted to be an account executive and assigned one of the most challenging and previously neglected territories. I achieved my sales goals each month by creating and selling effective multi-media campaigns for my clients. Within a year, I was brought back inside to work alongside the advertising department director and managers on major accounts. My responsibilities also included training and overseeing the team of five account managers. Show less
