Rob A. | Paladin Chicago Candidate
Marketing and Communications Account Executive with Corporate and Agency Experience
Available For:
All types of positions.
Ideal Position:
My most rewarding experiences have been working with entrepreneurs and sharing their excitement in bringing a new product to market. Whether cutting-edge technology or a new brand of organic juice, I take pride in taking ownership of something new and using my talents to help spread the word. I have worked in sterile high-rises and I have worked by the beach, and I must say I am more suited to a structured work environment that does not take itself too seriously. In other words, it’s nice to have a place designated solely for working hours, but it is also nice to share the occasional smile and monotony-breaking mundane conversation.
Past Experience:
I spent two years in a public relations specialist role, where my primary responsibility was garnering press coverage for a software company. My next role as Account Supervisor at a boutique agency was more all-encompassing, involving me in strategic product launches, advertising, social media and event management.
Currently:
I tripled the sales of a fitness DVD. In addition to overseeing the design and development of a brand new e-commerce site, I secured major market broadcast and print coverage for the creator of the DVD, and also developed a social media presence.
I have recently relocated to the Chicago area after five years working in in-house media relations, boutique agency marketing/communications and consumer marketing in the Los Angeles area. I have a great deal of experience in a number of disciplines, from pitching the media to arranging the construction of a trade show booth.
