Responsibilities: I wrote, self published and distributed the book Toilet Paper People. I created the website, blog and social media pages relating to the book and the broader issue of child abuse. I am an advocate for an entire community of adult survivors who rely on me for advice regarding living a healthy life outside of traumatic childhoods. The book is currently being considered by a major publishing agent and is being written as a screenplay for film by a popular local screenwriter.
RADIOSTAR STUDIOS
A/R Representative, Sales
July 2010 thru January 2011
Responsibilities: I was the brand ambassador behind an infamous music producer and handled all relationships between bands and the studio. This included but was not limited to social media outreach to potential clients, sales related duties, invoicing, and tours that resulted in close to $100,000 in sales within the six months I worked there. I was also responsible for counseling all clients on music distribution, online marketing and creative promotional concepts that would increase their odds at being picked up by major labels and/or investors. In order to achieve credibility with our clients, I created a distribution pipeline that included hundreds of industry leads, contacts, tours and contests that could be immediately acted on and implemented.
