Sometimes an 8.5 x 11 resume isn’t
enough to truly grasp what a person does.
I hope this presentation gives you a little
more insight to what I do.
This is my resume …
4. Here are a few examples of
the events I’ve done
(With some successes too!)
5. For 1 week I was responsible for:
3 Speaker Panels
25 Escorts1 Game
100 Advocates
7. Thanks, NBC! In
total, 63K
impressions for
Houston’s event
CKE Restaurants’ “The
Amazing Spider-Man”
8. RadioShack @ SXSW: Tweetback! Fans and users received a free Enercell
phone charger for Tweeting @RadioShack and using #RSSXSW
More than 400 Enercell Packs
handed out in three days.
More than 40M Impressions!
9. I love event planning so
much, I do it in my free
time!
Really?
Really!
10. Whether I’m putting together a
74th Annual Hunger Games Capitol Couture Brunch
Including our very
own
Parade of Tributes
12. Creativity doesn’t have to be big
to have an impact.
We only had 10 people but we
touched a city.
(see next slide for video!)
13. Four takeaways for why Colton
Wright would be great for Jive:
Manage a cross-
functional team
Results driven
I bring creativity to my work
Deliver an exceptional
customer experience
