I do marketing and public relations
….strategies, branding, social media, disruptive PR and marketing, collateral, web development, and media relations.
Right now I am looking for something that challenges me
…either a position as marketing director with a small to mid-size company where I can be part of a team dedicated to taking the company to the next level.
Or, to acquire a position with a larger company where I can manage a division within the marketing or public relations departments.
