About John Armstrong

As a Specialty Lead at Target, I lead and develop team members in various areas to achieve brand standards, sales goals, and customer satisfaction. I have been in this role for 4 years, and I have increased sales in my departments by 20%-40% over previous years. I have also trained new and existing team members on essential skills and tools, such as POG sets, Origami Risk, pricing, and inventory audits. I collaborate with other leaders to run the store\'s daily operations, which include price challenges, pick-on-time, service and engagement back-up, INF metrics, and more. I am also responsible for issuing corrective actions and coaching underperforming team members on how to improve their performance.In addition to my retail experience, I have a passion for video production and media. I have been the owner of my own video production LLC for 4.5 years, where I direct, manage, and execute various digital projects for clients and audiences. I have worked on and funded 5+ award-winning and official selection independent films and music videos, and I have developed multi-step plans to ensure suitable completion and delivery of each project. I have also built and managed 15+ social media accounts to promote my work and engage with followers. I have a background in communications and marketing, and I have a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication/Media Studies from the University of North Carolina at Asheville. I recently obtained my CAPM certification and completed a course in Project Management with Agile, which I use to enhance my skills and efficiency as a leader and a creative. I am actively looking to develop more in the field of project management, specifically in construction and production.
