• Active member of site emergency response team, with regular on-call duty

 

Works 4×3 shift (Mon-Thurs 10hrs/day) in Shell’s Fort McMurray town office; commutes 75km to Shell Albian Sands regularly (at least once/week)

• Excellent and proven English writing skills; able to produce and edit the work of others to high standards of quality and accuracy
• You think strategically and translate business objectives into multi channel strategies/plans;
• You quickly establish rapport with, and secure the trust of, senior leaders

29.)  MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS [SPECIALIST / COORDINATOR / MANAGER], Elite Care, the practice of Liesa Harte, MD., Austin, TX

 

Are you a go–getter? Are you someone who is high energy, creative, resourceful and able to take the reigns without a lot of handholding? Do you have experience working in a marketing communications role inside of a large company — but now you’re looking for a more flexible alternative to the typical “9-to-5” job?

 

The CEO/owner of a small, yet fast-growing company is seeking a super star marketing communications [specialist / coordinator / manager] – one who is intelligent, dynamic, articulate, polished, committed and willing to work hard.

 

Specifically, the person we are seeking is…

•             A “taker.” Meaning you’re always looking for things you can take off the CEO’s plate without him/her even asking.

 

•             One-step ahead, anticipating what needs to be done and having it ready to go.

 

•             Flexible. Things around here happen quickly. Our team gets awesome perks (like working from home, flexible hours, etc.), but we’re also fast paced — meaning you need to be able to handle switching directions on a dime, without losing a step.

 

•             On occasion, willing to work weekends and nights. We may host live events, do program/product launches, and travel, so this is not a 9 to 5 position.

 

•             Ability to work hard and get stuff done with little supervision. The vast majority of the work you will be assigned will done from your home office or other virtual location. In other words, you need to work well independently.

 

•             Reliable and professional. We need to be able to count on you to follow through on your commitments and assignments, on time and on promise.

 

The responsibilities of this high profile, demanding role include:

 

•             Develop and deliver successful marketing communications plans for product/program launches, events, content marketing campaigns, and, most importantly, to support our marketing/sales funnel, including: defining objectives, identifying audiences, key message development and mapping, determining an integrated marketing mix, timeline development, budgeting, execution of all deliverables, and success measurements.

 

•             Develop and manage all marketing-communications related activities, including: blogs, email marketing, social media, web content, prospecting / client entry campaigns, webinars/teleseminars, media relations, content development for e-books/special reports/etc, client testimonials, case studies, talks and other presentations, marketing collateral, signage, advertising (online and offline), newsletters, info graphics, marketing collateral and other support tools.

 

•             Support building and managing our target client list, including identifying the right points of contact, gathering direct contact information and supporting initial contact via emails or LinkedIn.

 

•             Ensure consistent adherence to brand guidelines and trademarks in all marketing materials and activities.

•             Identify high-quality speaking opportunities, submit speaker proposals, track speaking calendar, develop presentations, and provide all required materials (photo, bio, logo, etc.) to event producers, as needed.

 

•             Plan, organize, execute and manage our events (including workshops, executive roundtables, power breakfasts, webinars, etc.) as well as our participation in other organizations’ events (such as sponsorships, etc.).

 

•             Ensure media coverage through press releases and media pitches, as well as develop key relationships with industry press.

•             Maintain and create reporting tools to monitor our marketing communications efforts.

 

ADDITIONAL KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES:

 

•      Expert communicator with high attention to detail

•      Solid understanding of social media platforms and current marketing trends

•      Strong research skills

•      Capable of prioritizing and handling multiple projects simultaneously, under tight time constraints

•      Takes initiative

•      Expertise in transforming a strategy and vision into actionable plans

•      Comfortable with developing original content based on multiple sources

•      4-7 years of progressive experience in advertising, marketing communications, marketing or public relations

 

Please send resume and cover letter to gsmith@drliesa.com or 512-852-4447 attn: Ge’O-Vanna Smith.

In your cover please include salary requirements.

It was these positions specializing in business-to-business content and his subsequent work at Peoplefluent, a software company, where he gained a reputation as a skilled marketer, developing white papers, powerful email campaigns, websites, and social media posts.

***  One Paragraph Pitch:

 

They’re your communications. Why can’t they be interesting?

 

Experienced advertising writer desires to bring new life to your messaging.  What you’re saying is important.  So let’s make sure the information you present is relevant, relatable—and yes, interesting—to the people who need to hear it.

 

I’m comfortable writing and conceptualizing in all media on a wide range of subjects.  As a freelancer, I can work hourly or on a project basis, whichever works best with your budget, as I do for agencies and clients scattered across the country.

 

See examples of my advertising writing and strategic thinking at www.bobkochuk.com.  If something in particular appeals, I’m happy to provide context and the story behind the project.

 

Let’s say bye-bye to the boring blah, blah, blah of most communications.  You can contact me at bkochuk@gmail.com  or call 919.358.4300.

 

Oh, and thank you for reading this far.

***  From Adrants:

 

On the innocence of childhood. And the power of that innocence as leverage marketers can use to get people to buy stuff. Phrased that way, it makes ads featuring kids seem crass. But thankfully, most ads featuring kids are simply beautiful. Like this one for Turkish Airlines.

***  Unsolved:

 

On Feb. 27, 1978, over 36 years ago, at approximately 12:45am near the Plough & Stars, 912 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA,  Julie campbell was stabbed multiple times and left to die in a snowbank.  Julie was only 23 years old at the time.  Julie’s family was originally from Lexington, MA.

 

Julie is the sister of my friend Clay Campbell, who I know from my Boy Scout days.  Clay is very close to my friend Larry Beafield, who I also know from my Boy Scout days.  In fact, Clay and I travelled from Colotadao and Virginia repectively to see Larry rceieve the Daniel Carter Beard award from the Newton Masonic Lodge for service to Scouting several weeks ago.

 

Julie’s murder has remained a Cold Case… just like so many that you see on TV reality shows nowadays.  But unlike TV – this one’s still unsolved and unfortunately, Clay’s parents and his younger brother have all passed on – never knowing.

 

Bob Ward, Boston’s FOX25 crime reporter, aired this story on the case a week ago:

 

http://www.myfoxboston.com/story/25353631/new-englands-unsolved-julie-campbell

 

Clay and Larry have formed “Committee” to bring attention to the case. “At this stage it’s relatively straightforward – we’d like to have the evidence file reopened by the Middlesex County DA’s Office and subjected to modern day forensic technologies,” says Larry.  “36 years is a long time – so who knows what may be uncovered.”

 

There is a website – JulieCampbellMurder.com – and a Facebook page  (Julie Campbell Unsolved Murder).

 

Thanks to Larry for making this information available.
