What's Next for Video Marketing?

At TechSmith, as an Influencer Relations Coordinator, I work with identified influencers in our target markets to build relationships and find ways we can work together in a mutually beneficial partnership. From meeting with people at conferences, coordinating guest bloggers, the heart of my job is relationship building. I also work with a lot of our product advocates to help generate word of mouth.

My experience and education have given me a unique perspective in brand building, real-time marketing, influencer relationship management and emerging media.

At Red Bull, I worked with a company that wasn't afraid to say that a brand should have a personality and worked every minute to inject that persona into national events ranging from action sports to video game tournaments held 100 feet below ground in a cold war missile silo (no joke). Red Bull introduced me to the concept of utilizing local influencers in order to create richer experiences for our consumers, and that has stuck with me ever since.

With Vitaminwater, Vitaminwater Zero & Smartwater brands we took field marketing to a new level. By applying traditional sampling, marketing event & influencer strategies and harnessing the power of social media, our experiential focus can now easily be shared and spread throughout our fan's feeds & streams embedded within their multiple communities. A 1:1 approach became 1: many.

My passion lies in the relationship building & influencer relationship management both online & off. Working with smart people and doing smart things to bring brand's & people to the level that they deserve to be at is what gets me up every day (that and a 5Hour Energy).

Barkley has given me the opportunity to combine all that I've learned and helped brands develop, grow & expand their own online communities through an array of services, processes & products. I lead an amazing team of thought leaders, quantifying & developing consumer behaviors through strategic online listening & engagement.
