ABOUT EBONY WINGATE

Ebony is a recent Coastal Carolina University MBA graduate currently searching for full-time positions in marketing, communications, and management. She also earned her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing from CCU in December 2021. Her interests include marketing strategy, branding, advertising, social media marketing, event marketing, influencer marketing, sales training & coordination, and real estate. Ebony has experience in domestic and international consulting, student success, and sales/sales training. In her previous role as a Graduate Assistant for the Marketing and Hospitality, Resort, and Tourism Management Department at Coastal Carolina University, Ebony was responsible for managing all Departmental social media accounts, developing content for marketing materials and campaigns, serving as the communication liaison for the Marketing and HRTM Department for both internal and external partners, and providing administrative support for Department Chairs and Associate Deans within the CCU College of Business. Prior to entering this role, Ebony served as a Sales & Training Intern at Otis Elevators, a leading company for elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation, and service. In this role, Ebony learned to integrate her marketing and sales experience to produce internal and external marketing materials, complete market research with a focus on marketing and sales, update marketing databases including the company’s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) System, and improve internal communications by creating the framework for the assembly and distribution of the Otis Sales Newsletter. An integral part of Ebony’s career journey was her time as a member of The Wall Fellows Program, a highly selective leadership development program that prepares top students for high-level careers in major U.S. and international organizations. It was this program that allowed Ebony to gain experience in executing internal and external project efforts, coordinating and producing marketing proposals/presentations, conducting market research, and completing domestic and international consulting projects. Ebony’s tenure as a Wall Fellow, combined with her off-campus job and internship experience, was the catalyst that allowed her to become a well-rounded marketing professional and leader.
