Bio
Andres Rodriguez-Campbell
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ryan Higgins during his time as the Sports Marketing Specialist at Red Bull from June 2018-April 2019. During this time, Ryan immediately displayed immense leadership skills and ambition. As the counterpart I worked with the most, his attention to detail and ability to create new and lasting relationships was truly impressive. He brought a wealth of information revolving around sports, marketing and project management. Although we started our roles at Red Bull around the same time, Ryan seemed like a seasoned vet as he was managing large projects and budgets from day one. With his experience, interpersonal skills, drive for success and willingness to adapt, I fully recommend Ryan for any positions relating to project management, general consumer/brand marketing, sports marketing, sports management and event management.
