  Marketing + Brand Manager

  My task was to take the nascent marketing department and develop it into a full-fledged in-house creative advertising agency. The focus was to create high-quality designs and ensure the marketing adhered to the newly minted brand guidelines.

  KEY ACHIEVEMENTS:

  • Our annual ad campaigns feature the top ten agents and vivid visuals, which is unparalleled in the industry. Ad campaigns take months to develop, and I get to work as an art director on every step of the process from the concept, photoshoots, and graphic design and then switch to a marketer for the implementation.
  • I designed the user interface for the information-heavy ABE Dashboard, which agents use throughout the selling process to store and transfer documents, order marketing and track their sales analytics. I created a visual hierarchy edited the number of menu items and designed custom branding for the ABE platform.
