Aug 2018 - Jan 2021
Joined a newly created team designed to handle; week long city-wide event series, trade shows, festivals. Was responsible for the coordination and execution of medium to large scale events across the DB sales footprint. Large events include the Anheuser-Busch annual trade show (SAMCOM), GABF, and Hoopla. Planned and executed culture weeks across multiple cities (Thru-Hikes). Curated and maintained assets such as the adVANture van. Expanded our experimental abilities while also keeping a budget and schedule. During COVID, when all events were cancelled, I stepped into the e-commerce role and ensured that online digital imagery presence was up-to date and discovered new e-commerce outlets for DB products. I was also responsible for the creation of various landing web-pages and maintaining professional communication with our design firm. (OKYellow)
