Candidates in the Crowd: Miles Diggins

As the?#ShuftanJobReport?roars with nearly 2,600 subscribers, I am rolling out my second phase to help people. I post the report on M/W/F and want to use T/Th to feature excellent candidates. I built this community as a way of bringing together job searchers and those who are hiring. As an homage to Sports Illustrated's "Faces in the Crowd," I rolled out "Candidates in the Crowd."This is a white space for candidates to discuss their previous work, hopes, and dreams and show off anything to the network. The candidate will capture a hiring manager's attention, and good things will happen.

Make sure you are following The?#ShuftanJobReport?for all prior Candidates in the Crowd posts and job postings.

Today, I feature Miles Diggins .

I got my first referral for Candidates in the Crowd. My former client, good friend, and current teammate, Jamie Harju Hallquist , told me about Miles, and I wanted to include him. When Jamie, one of the most magnificent event and activation minds in the game, sends someone, he must be legit. Boy, is he legit!!

Miles has a simply fantastic background. I will let his words describe more about his experience: "I've made it my passion for living at the intersection of giant creativity, strong relationships, transformational business change, and a whole lot of fun." Miles, that is the chef's kiss, my friend!

I enjoyed his journey from sports/activation to following his passion for design and strategy. Miles has done BIG and succeeded many times.

From running regional offices and departments scaling teams to spearheading the sponsorship efforts for Allegiant Stadium, he is a prized possession for anyone looking for a managing director, CMO, or VP of Brand/Strategy.

Los Angeles network, contact this man today!!

With that said, enjoy his entry:

WHO IS MILES DIGGINS

?

I’ve made it my passion to live at the intersection of great creative, strong relationships, transformational business change, and a whole lot of fun making it happen. My work has specialized in marketing, culture, design, strategy, digital, and brand experience with a proven background leading multidisciplinary design teams of 50+ direct reports and multi-million-dollar projects with agencies in the United States and Canada. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with premier global brands across North & South America, Europe, Scandinavia, Asia, and Africa.

?

I started my career working in experiential and sports marketing agencies, but my deep passion for design and strategy led to a dream job working with some of the world’s best creatives at Bruce Mau Design. This journey eventually brought me from Toronto to Los Angeles, where I now reside as a Green Card-holding, proud ex-pat who brings this unique perspective, love, and appreciation for creativity to beautifully designed experiences. I’ve run regional offices, departments, teams, and marquee projects all while remaining deeply immersed in the work.

?

Most recently, I served as the Managing Director at Optimist Inc where I led the North American business. Before that, I was VP of Brand and Creative Strategy at ASTOUND Group.
