Major Accomplishments [pic]

One of three core managers chosen to launch a new company. I was tasked to

create and manage the department responsible for the production for a

weekly publication, giving art direction, coordinating recourses for

display advertising from sales people, relating constantly to printers to

ensure deadlines, and ultimately, every week, publish a quality document

ready for distribution.

And every now and then I got to do what I love... AD DESIGN.

Provided management and marketing skills, along with creative talent to a

small antique gallery business grossing approximately $1 million/year, and

launched it into a $10 million/year enterprise, by aggressively marketing

in niche markets not occupied successfully by competitors.

Provided strategic leadership in the production of auction catalogs, from

directing digital photography through digital graphic design, layout to

publishing, working with printing vendors, negotiating contracts and

deadlines - and coordination of mailing services. Even though they were

event-specific publications, they are still sold through outside vendors as

currently valuable reference publications.

Established all technical procedures for creation of all marketing

documents for a retail company, producing volumes of direct mail, ROP, POP,

posters etc.
