About Gary Milton

I grew up in a culture of sports where I learned to bond and compete with others for a common goal. My involvement in sports provided some powerful life lessons and values, such as; teamwork, strong work ethics, having a plan, overcoming obstacles, and to never give up on your goals.I love the creative process and thinking “outside the box” to seek solutions. I appreciate the evolution and development needed to bring good ideas to life. Solutions can come through unconventional thinking producing unique and positive outcomes.By embracing the lessons from the sports world along with creative thinking, I’ve been successful at driving business campaign strategies, overseeing development of new technology solutions and developing operational strategies for process improvement. I build and lead collaborative cross-functional teams which achieve positive business objectives, while applying an agile approach to react to critical business shifts, where time is of most importance.CREATIVE SERVICES MARKETING LEADERI am a marketing leader who has a strong track record of building high performance project teams.I am a balanced leader who is willing to ask the tough questions that bring clarity for better and expedient solutions.I believe it’s vital to have the big picture, and the details are the roadmap to success.I am known for coaching and mentoring great teams by investing in individual empowerment and establishing common goals.I build strong business relationships that encourage collaboration and partnerships that yield positive results.I believe organizations must put value on process and workflow protocol, however, the key to making it actionable is to make it fun and visually interesting.KEY COMPETENCIESCoaching and Mentoring • Project Management • Talent Acquisition • Branding and Campaign Planning • Process and Workflow Engineering • Photo and Asset Planning • Budgeting and Budget Proposal • Tool Acquisition • Collaborator
