ABOUT CAROL D.

I entered the world of media after a one year, stint in the local job market that embarked with gusto, two BA\'s in hand. That eclectic year found me working in a title insurance company, a real estate office, and a temporary position as an assistant German translator for a subsidiary of Boeing. My career remained in business to business media sales until an astute manager tapped my leadership skills and put me to work harnessing and directing the energy of motivated sales professionals.I managed the newspaper retail and classified advertising sales team, then moved to a start-up to focus my career solely to build a local website telling stories using video and audio. We won two Telly Awards that first year.Drawn back to sales fulfilled a desire to build on my marketing background and harness the full power of digital to promote employer branding and talent acquisition marketing for local, regional and national businesses.TEAM MEMBER- Member of Publisher\'s Web Tactics Group- Director of Clark County Fair Board with duties on marketing, finance and scholarship committees- Board member and Programs Co-chair for Portland Advertising Federation- Regional Vice-President of Doane Family Association of America, Inc. and President of the Oregon, Washington Idaho Chapter- Published in ONE book (so far): Laughing Nine to Five: Quest for Humor in the Workplace http://ow.ly/uOhb (part of a chapter, it\'s funny)SPECIALTIESInterpreting relevant research, data and trends to leverage digital media for breakthrough marketing.Public speaker on starting a nonprofitPublic speaker to small business and groups on harnessing social media and online skills.Internal systems analyst that directs to best practices.Perpetually curious.
