I am a highly motivated individual that has worked for a variety of companies in thier marketing departments and other business positions. While working with these companies I saw tremendous growth as a result of the initiatives and strategic planning implemented by myself and the amazing groups of people I had contact with. I have spent the majority of my career working in the realm of SEO, online marketing, and retail business strategy.
In my former position at Alaska Dispatch, an online news organization, we saw our Facebook growth increase exponentially from 35,000 to 120,000+ followers in a little over a year, gained 24,000 new followers on Instagram in a single week, and lead the competition in our industry for nearly every social referral site in the state. I was intimately connected with the local community as a weekly participant in two separate Chambers of Commerce. This job was one of the most important jobs of my career as I saw how my efforts directly impacted the results of our company. The growth was so tremendous that after only five years of business we were able to purchase our direct competitor and become the largest news organization in Alaska.
Many of my other positions as well have allowed me to explore this potential and see phenomenal growth in the businesses I have worked for. For instance, as the Online Marketing Manager at Imagine Gear I was able to double sales in my first year at a company that does over a million dollars in revenue every year and was twice recognized by Amazon.com for being in the top 15% of sales on their gigantic world wide market place. By concentrating on targeted markets and niche consumers, Imagine Gear has increased its brand awareness and built a strong community of loyal customers.
All of my experience working in customer service, sales, marketing, strategic business planning and a variety of other fields has given me the opportunity to see the power of technology and it's high potential for return-on-investment. I have used this knowledge to increase the value of every company I have worked for by implementing cohesive business strategies, using tools like social media, pay-per-click advertising and search engine optimization, email marketing and analytic programs. By building strong teams of intelligent, highly motivated people, I have continually found success and built strong relationships with both co-workers and clients.
I hope to continue to build businesses the rest of my career and am always looking for opportunities to help others grow as well.
