DIGITAL MARKETING AND SNOWBOARD MARKETING MANAGER | 09/2023 - Current

In addition to my existing responsibilities; own the GTM calendar, brief all newsletters and SMS marketing, Manage workflow for email marketing coordinator and graphic designer, and work with VP of Ecom to ensure we are on brand and beating our ecom sales forecast. ● Since taking over digital marketing I've used my knowledge of the product line to increase our newsletter and SMS frequency using more targeted groups, while also building out a whole new journey strategy. ● I have taken the lead on our Black Friday/Cyber Monday plans and we're now more prepared and earlier than we've ever been. ● Historically our revenue numbers have been strong, but our profits have been extremely low due to selling large travel products which are expensive to ship due to weight and dimensions. In my short tenure we've cut down on promoting sales and put more focus on smaller more profitable products. Our profits are up already and we're consistently hitting or beating our forecasts.

SOCIAL COMMERCE AND SNOWBOARD MARKETING MANAGER | 06/2022 - Current

Lead the development of snowboard and lifestyle GTM stories, produce content for snowboard marketing, manage pro athletes and media partnerships as well as work with product development to create sport appropriate products. As well as my prior social commerce role. ● Since taking over the snowboard category, I've elevated how all teams work together by creating more open communication channels and ensuring an alignment of goals. This includes licensees, European partners, team riders, and our internal Marquee team. This makes licensing not only more effective, but more enjoyable. ● While dealing with 60% budget cuts across the board, I've stayed on course and found ways to work with the best content creators, expand lifestyle marketing, and ensure that our products are being used by the leaders in our industry. ● I've lead the team to be more wholesale-minded in how we look at asset creation, while also helping us build out more brand conscious content for our ecommerce GTM calendar.

Own all aspects of partnerships for the action sports and culture categories from targeting partners, negotiating deals, merchandising the line for ecomm and wholesale, and managing the project to production and distribution. Leading the development of hardside coolers, softside coolers, and hydration products with our partners. ● Cultiavte the relationship with Boardriders (Quiksilver, Roxy, Billabong, RVCA) and build out their merch plan and develop products with internal and external teams. ● Build out Igloo's culture category including licensing partners like Jeep, Volkswagen, Haring, Basquiat, etc. ● Due to how new the partnerships program is, I've been an integral part of our team in working out the strategy to create new exciting products designed to brand build within a successful but slow-moving organization which has been the leader in the cooler industry for over seventy years. ● As of my last day, all Boardrider's products we developed have sold out completely. Igloo was included in top three searched items on RVCA, Billabong, and Roxy's websites.
