Mission: Conceive, create, oversee, & execute all marketing campaigns across all channels

 

Recently moved to LA from Shanghai and am seeking a full-time role in integrated marketing management. Available for freelance.

Having started my career in branding consulting in New York at Prophet Brand Strategy, led a team in launching international campaigns at FOREO’s headquarters in Shanghai, and worked as a writer for Forbes, Interbrand, and the British Chamber of Commerce to name a few, I am an expert in communicating international brand messages globally. Through working in Shanghai over the past 3.5 years as well as conducting research as a Fulbright Scholar in Europe, I am fluent in French and basic Chinese and experienced in cross-cultural communication and brand compliance. Having now moved to Los Angeles, I want to help companies here build their global brand and sales.
