Stacey reported directly to me at ReverseVision from Oct 2021-March 2022. She was a Senior Marketing Coordinator that worked in our Marketing Department. January 2022, I promoted her to Creative Services Manager.
As a Senior Marketing Coordinator/Creative Services Manager, Stacey executed our B2B marketing campaigns, branding efforts, social media, website, created advertising, Hubspot Marketing, switched our project management to a cross team collaboration with Monday.com, budgeting, on-line/in person events, tradeshows, presentations, and video. She also helped manage PR agencies, web developers, associations, & event vendors.
She is highly organized, creative, detail driven, and productive. Stacey worked well with her colleagues in marketing and throughout ReverseVision. As a specialist with her time divided across many responsibilities, she balanced competing needs with humor and professionalism. For her exceptional efforts, I was able to twice present her with the RV Presidents Award.
In addition to her functional capabilities, Stacey is an energetic team player that is calm, outgoing, and truly cares about the people she works with along with their happiness and success. I recommend Stacey for any position that will draw upon her skills and her proven record of contribution to marketing. She was a remarkable colleague and contributor.
