Creative Director

November 2005 - Current 

As a creative director for DED Inc. my main responsibilities include meeting with clients and making sure that I can provide them with a visual style that will meet their needs as well as their production budget, managing creative projects from concept to completion, translating marketing objectives into creative strategies for B2B and B2C marketing campaigns, and directing the creative team in the production of marketing materials. Furthermore, it is my responsibility to make sure that each project meets its deadline.  To help me with these tasks, I personally designed, set up, and trained the entire staff to use an on-line content management system which allowed us to digitally track projects through their lifecycle, and update their progress in real time. Also, to better serve our clients I designed and set up an on-line ordering system which allowed clients to view and update their most common products, from there they have the ability to place their orders and send them directly into workflow.

• Organized workflow systems for the entire company
• Created an on-line ordering system for our clients
• Lead the creative team in achieving their objectives
• Consulted directly with clients ranging in size from small business owners to world-wide corporations
