About Patricia Plourde

I’m a 10-time award winning executive-level marketing professional; having won awards from the Higher Education Marketing Report, Hermes Awards, and the Service Industry Advertising Awards. I’m passionate about marketing and I enjoy marketing challenges. Specifically, in higher education, I have been tasked with increasing enrollment in a location where the demographic is declining. I have continually designed and implemented successful marketing strategies, through the analysis of competitors and market trends, and identifying the current and future needs of customers. I am able to coordinate at strategic and tactical levels with cross-functional teams to drive tangible results; and am experienced in implementation, analytics, and strategy to contribute to an organization’s planning and execution. Additionally, I offer experience in brand development and management. I have created and managed marketing materials, promotions, branding, and strategies from the ground up, using research to drive initiatives. During my time at the New England School of Communications, the school brought in the largest incoming classes in its history. My strengths are analyzing data, providing solutions for marketing challenges and multitasking. I am very driven, team orientated, and organized.
