As an innovative design and marketing director I am seeking permanent

employment to further create an environment of dynamic impact and economic

development for your organization. In response to the Art Director

position posted, I am confidentially forwarding my performance history to

you.

Within my experiences developing, presenting, and managing the

execution of integrated corporate marketing campaigns, I have collaborated

closely with outside retail & manufacturer reps to create cohesive

materials for both vertical and horizontal sectors. This includes but is

not limited to key messaging; identifying and prioritizing customer market

requirements & tactics; financial objectives/budgets; and staffing needs.

Recently, I have launched marketing strategies and tactics that support and

maximize market share objectives and profitability targets for global

industries such as, Microsoft OEM Partner: Integrity Data; Great Lakes Bio

Systems as well as Grainger-based Lab Safety Supply and Market Day.

To accomplish this, I have obtained the unique involvement executing

R & D prototypes, annual & supplemental catalogs including targeted product-

line, direct mail, and corporate sale presentations & training, trade show,

and POS displays. My primary focus beyond design has been the management of

lead designers, production coordinators, writers, and external vendors

ensuring quality representation that strengthens brand recognition.

Developing award-winning B2B, direct, and channel marketing from concept-to-

distribution in harmony with my talents projecting market trends have given

me the foundation to create successful-profitable sales support beyond

corporate initiatives while influencing consumer response.

Crediting over 18 years of marketing communication design & art

direction with a particular focus developing consumer- facing projects,

product branding, as well as corporate recognition, as Marketing Director I

will ensure measurable and timely results. In this role I will develop

winning communication strategies that will help insure the company

maximizes its return on marketing spend and sales efforts.

My fortune to have rendered expert-level fine art illustration,

conceptualization, photographic styling & direction, event

planning/fundraising coordination accompanied with web marketing

implementation tasks - online advertising, search-engine optimization and

trending - will also create innovative visual solutions that will manage

your business and consumer needs! To ensure the utmost performance and

creative networking in Quark, Adobe, and Mac platforms, please phone

262-***-**** or email abjog5@r.postjobfree.com at your convenience. Thank

you for your consideration.

'Tis the Season,
