Other
During my tenure as the Social Media Director at Mammoth Mountain, the resort had more Facebook fans than any ski area in the world while maintaining industry leading engagement. I've been interviewed about social media by Ric Dragon for his book Social Marketology (published by McGraw-Hill), Brian Solis, Fox News and other media outlets. While running the creative team at the most visited ski resort in California, Mammoth Mountain, the company experienced their most profitable year, exceeding their overall financial goal for FY2011-12. During that season, Mammoth nabbed the 2011 NSAA (National Ski Areas Association) Best Overall Marketing Program award, awarded best in ski area marketing campaigns that help grow the sports of skiing and snowboarding.

Copywriting

A paper catalog that both informs and is captivating. The client asked for both because design students are no longer taught the nuances of paper, so it fell on his business to both educate and sell.
