The Reno-Tahoe Amercian Marketing Association's Ace Awards event recognizes brand engagement excellence within our community. This year, over 140 nominations were submitted across 12 categories, the highest volume ever received!
Once we accounted for duplicate nominations and reached out to all of those who were nominated, we began the process of collecting more information about each nominated effort in the form of a survey, and collected countless supplemental links and attachments. These nominees were ultimately narrowed down to 52 finalists based on the board’s review of the submissions, which were then voted on by our judges to determine winners.
This year’s judges included the board members of our sister chapter in Charleston, South Carolina, as well as Reno-Tahoe AMA Professional Members. In addition to the 12 categories of awards, we'll also be giving out a People's Choice award (voted on by well over 1,500 people) and "Influencer of the Year," which is an award given to an individual within the community for their contributions to the marketing industry, collectively voted on by the board.
I am an all-around proficient marketing practitioner having developed core competencies in project management, strategic planning, multicultural markets, on-site activation/management as well as tour management and production. My masters degree in Advertising further adds a strategic perspective which integrates marketing practices with an in-depth understanding of maximizing value to a client through understanding the voice of the consumer.
For the past 7 years I have become an expert in leading the management of various experiential marketing events for brands such as McDonald's, The U.S. Army, Cadillac, and others. See below for some of the events that I worked on.

Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…

Personal Brand Exploration - Angela OrtegaAngelaOrtega56
I completed a personal brand exploration project for my portfolio and personal branding class at Full Sail University while pursuing my Entertainment Business BS degree. Through this exercise, I was able to explore the career path I want to pursue, identify my target audience, and determine the skills I need to excel in this position.
I would also like to mention that Chloe Smith, a colleague of mine, whom I admire and look up to, was the perfect candidate to compare my skills with. Feel free to follow her on LinkedIn.

strategist who is adept at turning ideas into concrete
business ventures. The Los Angeles native has built
a solid reputation within the entertainment industry
as a communications specialist and lives by the
mantra “no excuses, just results.” Over the span
of her career, Erica has worked closely with top
companies in the sports, entertainment, lifestyle,
and non-profit industries. Some of her notable
recent accomplishments include annual events
at Sundance Film Festival, the ESPY’s party at the
Playboy Mansion, PR for PRINCE for his “Hit and Run”
pop up concert at the Hollywood Palladium, Project
Music House at Coachella, Los Angeles, and South
By Southwest (SXSW), PR and talent booking and

with top brands including Starbuzz, Coke Zero,

Throughout the development of her exciting career,
Erica has amassed a repertoire of specialties
including PR and media relations, event production,
business development, sponsorship procurement/

with her entertainment management prowess Erica
became the first black woman to own a NASCAR
team when she joined forces with former NBA
star, Derek Strong in 2008. Together, they lead a
world-class NASCAR racing team that bridged the
gap between the established racing and minority

via Strong Racing, Erica was appointed the first Los
Angeles Program Director for The Motorsports Institute,
a non- profit company that motivated and inspired
students to achieve academic success through an
educational platform of learning, discovery, and fun

In 2011, Erica partnered with Stacy Barker to form

planning, and communication strategies made her
a valuable asset to Jade Umbrella and its clients.

formed Hollywood Chapter. She and team have
been tasked with executing a comprehensive plan

the African continent and the lives of its citizens.

ending her successful partnership to further diversify
her client base and professional direction. Under
Erica’s direction, E-Hill represented events such as
social media star Matthew Espinosa’s 18th birthday
bash, recording artist Post Malone’s White Iverson’s
video release party, casting director Leah Daniels-

11. “As Founder and Chairman of Africa 2.0, I would like to
acknowledge the phenomenal work achieved by Erica Hill who
inspired and led the We Are 1ne Campaign from inception.
She mobilized her networks in the United States, Europe and
Africa.
She was the main architect of the campaign from the logo
to designing and implementing the strategy. We Are 1ne was
a global campaign that started at the pick of Ebola outbreak
and continued way beyond that period during the Boko Haram
Bombings across West Africa.
The We Are 1ne campaign called for human solidarity and
humanity to mobilize leaders, celebrities, civil society to
unite to save lives and raise consciousness to eradicate those
plagues.
Erica’s leadership led to a very successful campaign that
mobilized people from 60 countries around the world and
more than 15,000 supporters on Facebook in just a few weeks.
In addition key people in Africa rallied behind the campaign
such as Aliko Dangote (richest man in Africa and richest man
in the world), DBanj (biggest music star in Africa), Donald
Kaberuka (President of African Development Bank) and other
renowned sportsmen and politicians.
She combined grass root activities, guerilla marketing, active
social media engagement and brand awareness activation.
Her plan included also peaceful demonstration for unity
blending political leaders and civil society hand in hand like
in Cameroon.
As a result Africa 2.0 grew significantly as a modern key
influencer on the global scene and we are grateful to have her
in our ranks as we build momentum and preparing some even
bigger campaigns for 2016.”

“As a growing international mindful fitness brand, we
quickly understood that we were navigating rare atmosphere
toward a vast clientele base that had no previous access
to an obvious and growing need for our service. Erica Hill of
E-Hill Entertainment came recommended from a close family
friend for her experience in media and entertainment. Erica
and her family oriented team hand-guided us through our
first flagship mindful fitness festival and its peripheral
marketing components and it was a remarkable event. E-Hill
Entertainment is now an exclusive member of our intimate
family business.”
