As Dealerslink’s first marketing hire, I built and scaled the marketing department from the ground up by designing processes, hiring and mentoring a high-performing team, and managing external vendors to drive long-term growth. Joining during its early startup phase, I helped transform the company into an industry leader by developing the public website, modernizing branding, creating impactful sales materials, and driving record year-over-year growth with innovative, multichannel campaigns.
