Sr. Marketing Manager, Owned Brand and Designer Partner Marketing

Target

I was the lead marketing strategist for home owned brands and designer partnership brands (i.e. Threshold, Smith and Hawken, Pillowfort, Nate Berkus for Target, Oh Joy! for Target, Modern by Dwell Magazine, Simply Shabby Chic, etc.). I briefed and lead cross functional teams of creatives and channel experts to establish brand identities, create holistic launch or re-brand plans, and position brands across channels on an ongoing basis. I also served as the liaison to external design partners to bring their brand personality to Target guests and leverage their communication reach.

Sr. Manager, Guest Insights

Target · Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area

Defined business problems with leaders and their teams, and applied the best approach to garner consumer insights across a variety of product categories including electronics, entertainment, grocery, and home goods. I conducted qualitative and quantitative research, assessed market share, sales, and macro trends, and managed agency partners, and served internally as the voice of the consumer in marketing and product investment decisions. I also orchestrated cross-disciplinary immersion sessions challenging existing beliefs and influencing investment into growth initiatives.
