I believe in utilizing the best practice of bottom-up marketing, meeting with key stakeholders to gather research intelligence about sales and marketing challenges. I use this insightful information to craft highly targeted, integrated marketing strategies. I then execute lead generation programs, public relations initiatives, social media and brand initiatives, plus much more to help increase revenue.
