But creative marketing isn't just fun ideas, it's a way to problem solve - to look at the challenge before you and come up with out of the box solutions that are purpose-driven, authentic and worthwhile, both for the brand and for the end consumer. It's a way to communicate to your audience, and bring them into the conversation. In my nearly 20 years of experience in the action sports industry, I've learned firsthand from retail to wholesale how to engage a brand with its community, and I'm excited to bring forth this knowledge in my next endeavor.</p><p><br></p><p>The past three years, I've been the Marketing Director for Roark, a modern adventure lifestyle clothing company that coupled authentic stories of travel with inspired and purpose built product. From planning and executing each campaign, be it an 18-day off grid trip through NZ, or a running gear collaboration with Black Sabbath, bringing the brand's voice to life in a way that connected with Roark's fast-growing audience became my passion. Creating and managing budgets, retail activations and GTM calendars for all divisions allowed me to build a strong foundation in cross-departmental collaboration, but still left room for creative copywriting that defined the brand voice and tone. </p>
