Our campaign was targeted at the casual millennial fan. Based on our research millennials value an experience more than material items. They also value brands who show their commitment to their community and social issues. Because of this, we chose to focus our campaign around events that would give millennials an experience to remember for a good cause all while interacting with the Chiefs brand.

I researched the marketplace, competition and job qualifications in my industry. I identified skillsets that needed improvement. I created a strong professional development program to address the skills gaps I identified. I defined my brand promise and brand position based on who my target audience was. I created an elevator pitch that helped me articulate my unique value promise.
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.
