BRAND AMBASSADOR & MODEL, MIRUS PROMOTIONS — 2014 - PRESENT I worked with Mirus as 1099 contractor until 2018. I was brought on to Mirus as a remote employee in 2018. I work as brand ambassador, promotional specialist, demo specialist, trade show model, booth model, promotional model, spokesmodel, and product specialist for a range of brands and clients at various venues (as scheduled by the brand and the agency). I report directly to agency owner and several booking agents, marketing manager, and accounting. Upon completion of each event, I provided an in depth recap of consumer feedback, demographic data, psychographic data, and customer habits, behavior, preferences, comments. Recaps include photos of product, brand & POS material, event setup, merchandising, and customer interactions. SENIOR VIP CLIENTLE MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING, BRAND LIASON AT HAUTELOOK.COM

(A NORDSTROM COMPANY AS OF 2012) DURATION: 2009-2012 One of the first thirteen employees for the startup, I was originally hired as a Customer Care Specialist/Member Care Specialist. The company grew to about 350 employees within a year and I moved with HQ from the origional office to a larger office due to the growth. The HR Department created the title for me (as listed) above, as I was strong in client relations, brand relations, and problem resolve. I communicated well with multiple departments at HQ in terms they understood, while helping the conflicting departments to feel heard. I would help conflicting parties come to a profitable and agreeable compromise. Other departments wanted me to be transferred to their teams, but the Member Care & Relations Department wanted me close as well. So, I became a roaming Senior Level Specialist in-house at HQ to consult with in-house departments and resolve issues between the front-end and back-end of the business, resolve bugs & copy issues, resolve warehouse & pick ticket issues, communicate brand & account issues to copywriting, brand legality issues, accounting & fraud issues, UPS tracking & call tag issues, brand sales & accounts issues, VIP & customer issues, media accounts, blog, and press matters, and other issues as they came up.
