In my own words

Adam

I have multiple years of marketing experience with a focus on design and implementation.

I’ve managed multiple projects at the same time, from branded store openings and international tradeshow booths, to seasonal digital content curation and distribution. At Columbia Sportswear, I created and implemented the template of an ‘Interactive Walkthrough Summary’, which was used and distributed throughout the Company allowing out of province management to visually comprehend store installations and retail space design; I have lead the design team in building, troubleshooting and updating interactive iOS Point of Purchase displays that were rolled out across multiple flagship wholesale accounts, all while continuously monitoring and analyzing data to maximize version update efficiency.

I am educated with a Bachelor degree, double majoring in Sport Administration and Marketing. My love for sports and creative thinking drew me to these majors, where I could help elevate other Athletes and like-minded Brands and tell their story to a captive and engaging audience. My Athlete story ended with injury but my ability to use my skills and experience has never stopped me from being close to the unscripted excitement that is competition sports.
