How long have you been doing promos?
I have been working in promotional marketing for over 8 years. I previously worked in publishing in media sales and management. However when I was looking for interim work, I fell into event and promotional marketing and really started to enjoy it .
Do you have a favorite Oxford Marketing event that you’ve worked?
7-Eleven coffee promotion in Long Island. It’s great giving consumers the option to have a premium coffee at a reasonable everyday price.
What do you enjoy most about being in this industry?
It’s really great to be able to work with the major corporations or brands on a short term basis and connecting with the consumers they are targeting. The friendships that I made with other promotional specialists and Brand Ambassadors have really brought me a lot of happiness as we support and motivate each other. It is also amazing to work for a supportive marketing firm such as Oxford, and of course the schedule flexibility of being on a project to project basis.
In your opinion, what skills should every brand ambassador possess?
They need to be engaging, mature, appreciative, and have a positive attitude.
What are some hobbies that you enjoy when you aren’t working events?
I enjoy yoga, walking/ hiking, discovering new music and going to shows & concerts.
If money weren’t an issue, what is one thing you would spend it on without hesitation?
Helping people fund their educational goals. I believe everyone has a right to learn something new or useful whether it is a trade or university education.
Favorite movie of all time:
The Joker and Max Manus
