Hi! My name is Ray, I have been designing, developing, executing and managing nearly any kind of media you can think of professionally for almost 20 years. If you have read this far, keep going (please), my career has led me down many different roads and you will see that very quickly with my many different areas of experience.
For the past 2 years, I have been working at one of the largest crane and heavy haul companies in Florida. As Marketing Manager / Webmaster, I work on both corporate level and local level marketing. With 9 branches throughout Florida and Georgia, my responsibilities will vary depending on the needs of the company. The majority of my time is spent developing corporate level marketing materials both digitally and through print, delivering them through social media, email, snail mail, website, trade shows or just putting them in the hands of our sales staff. When one of our local market areas struggles, I will provide extra support to those areas providing Google Analytic data, boosts to our marketing efforts, additional company exposure to the areas while working directly with the sales staff and branch manager until the extra support is no longer needed.
Prior to my current position, I had worked at one of the top private catholic high schools in central Indiana. In the position of Webmaster / Photographer / Marketing & Communications, I worked directly with the Admissions, Advancement, Athletic and Academic departments implementing the digital marketing & communication strategies developed by the Director of Marketing & Communications. I also work directly with the Director of Marketing & Communication on a daily basis helping develop school-wide marketing & communication plan and the day-to-day communication needs.
My nearly 20 years of experience in multimedia production, project management, and marketing & communication has allowed me to “wear many hats”. On any given day I could be shooting photography, shooting / editing videos, updating various CMS websites, creating / sending broadcast emails, posting to social media, creating graphics, training staff, developing communication strategies or anything else that is needed to help support the marketing & communication needs for the task at hand.
Thinking back to when I started off my career as a multimedia specialist working my way through the ranks to project manager. This provided me with great opportunities developing websites, creating digital sales / marketing / training pieces, shoot & edit video, developing education software and so much more working with large fortune 500 companies to small local companies just trying to survive. All of these experiences provide me with a great foundation as I continue to advance even further.
