PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS WRITER
ICI/ADP: New York (2000-Present)
As a marketing communications writer, I polished ICI/ADP's online presence to a perfect shine, creating online product manuals that enhanced the company brand and improved customer usability. I also defined our presentations format to transform printed manuals into web-ready, user-friendly documents, working with programmers to manage password protection and creation, client notification and content updates. On our company intranet, I maintained and laid out monthly departmental content, edited product bulletins, updated online documentation and conducted product, industry and regulatory research to ensure we had the latest, most accurate online documentation. I also served as a marketing assistant, coordinating market research activities and maintaining our file of competitive market information. I helped produce sales proposals and marketing presentations, managed tradeshow logistics, travel arrangements, client meetings and departmental activities, cultivating strong client and team relationships. My achievements at ICI/ADP include the following:

• Won five Ace Awards: three for Teamwork and Empowerment and two for Innovation.
• Helped implement new online HELP system, creating sales presentations and writing scripts.
• Promoted from Marketing Assistant to Marketing Communications Writer.

NEW MEDIA INTERN

I created "rave reviews" print-insert marketing collateral, detailing feedback of our company website. I also conducted industry research to support our print and electronic media development, maintaining travel destination files within our office.
