Summary
My name is Cody and I am a marketing professional with a foundation in multimedia production. I hold a B.F.A. in Communication Design as well as a long list of amazing clients and industry experience. As a leader that bridges the gap between creative and marketing departments, I am ingrained in the culture, trends, and waves of our ever changing digital landscape.
I enjoy meeting new people and promoting my network. Keeping a cool head and thinking positively under pressure helps me to maintain confidence and be seen as a leader among my peers. While I enjoy recognition for my achievements, I am equally happy to see others praised for their hard work. I feel that it is important to live in the moment and take nothing for granted.
My raw production skillset is a fantastic compliment to my industry knowledge and marketing experience. I pride myself in using original thinking to stand out and prefer to avoid the obvious route when it comes to problem solving. I enjoy coming up with innovative solutions. Open minded and comfortable with change, I adapt well to new situations and am always ready to leap enthusiastically into the unknown. I adapt quickly and prefer not to be too definite in my approach, leaving room for flexibility. As a pragmatic creative, logic and reason are invaluable tools that I use to my advantage in order to get to the core of any problem.
Aesthetics and form have always been staples in my life and I am continually exerting energy in search of elegant yet functional solutions. I have high expectations for myself and always aim to do my very best work. Bringing ideas to life from concept to ROI is my specialty. My vision and execution make a powerful compliment to any sales strategy. I pride myself in producing new paths forward while supporting these ventures with the dexterity to achieve true success. I consider myself a communicator and creator in all mediums.
