About

Hi, I'm Ariel. I'm a Marketing and Media professional with a knack for promoting and establishing brand authenticity and awareness. I particularly enjoy reworking practices suited to vastly different markets to work in my current one: Short-term rentals. I thrive in helping to create and manage campaigns and projects with hawkish attention to detail and an adoration for the little touches. Resourceful and flexible, I am a quick learner with a positive attitude toward change! I'm a colorful and concise writer who helps brands find and use their authentic voice to activate customers. My marketing focus has been on: - Executing events from conception to completion using good organization, project leadership, creativity, cost-effective methods, and time management skills. - Developing marketing strategies, including social media marketing, management, copywriting, and finding new ways to reach our audiences. - Developing partnerships and sponsorships for marquee experiences through customer research and brand knowledge. - Hiring and training supportive event staff through hiring protocols, orientation creation, and strong interpersonal capabilities. Other fun tidbits about me: I received my Master's Degree in Miami, Florida. I lived in Spain for 2 years to learn Spanish. I'm very often told I have an old soul. Currently, I am open to new opportunities worldwide. You can email me at arielmangum@yahoo.com Thanks for reading! Every experience is valuable, worthy, and extraordinary.
