Starting a new role always brings a sense of anticipation, but stepping into my new position as a Business Development Strategist at Twisted Rope feels particularly rewarding. My journey here has been shaped by years of experience in a variety of roles in the Sales and Marketing world, which has provided me with a front row seat to the rapid changes in marketing. As I transition into this role, I’m excited to bring my diverse experience to the table to drive Twisted Rope and our clients to new heights.
The Transition: From AdTech to Business Development
Before joining Twisted Rope, my time was spent as an AdTech Specialist, where I honed my skills in digital advertising, automation, and data-driven marketing. Working in the heart of AdTech gave me a deep understanding of the mechanics behind successful campaigns and the evolving role of technology in shaping customer interactions. It was a hands-on experience with how data, automation, and personalized messaging can turn prospects into loyal customers.
But what I found equally compelling was the bigger picture—the strategy that ties it all together. Transitioning into business development at Twisted Rope is the next natural step in my journey. It’s not just about knowing the technology; it’s about using that knowledge to build strategies that drive growth, expand market presence, and create meaningful connections with audiences. My role here allows me to leverage my technical expertise and strategic mindset to help businesses navigate the ever-changing digital landscape.
Marketing is Evolving—And So Must We
The marketing world I first stepped into looks vastly different today. Back then, digital marketing was still carving its niche, with platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook on the fringe of maximizing their potential. Fast forward to now, and we’re in an era where omnichannel marketing is essential, personalization is expected, and the integration of sales and marketing has never been more critical.
Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how marketing tactics have shifted—from organic content strategies to sophisticated paid campaigns that leverage advanced targeting and automation. The rise of data privacy regulations, changing consumer expectations, and the need for integrated, multichannel approaches have all reshaped the landscape. This perspective is something I bring to Twisted Rope, where we constantly push the boundaries of what’s possible for our clients.
