Amy’s Wonderful and Long Journey of Content and Marketing

Furthermore, she began her professional career in “old-fashioned” television broadcast production and worked on events with Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center, migrating to large ad agencies at the height of broadband, and then becoming a digital pioneer, building the digital division at Ketchum PR.
Bravely Fighting Challenges with Daily Learning

Today, Amy is continuously refining her skills on a daily basis and is still learning. Moreover, learning from her experience, the hardworking CMO of CreativeDrive is easily tackling and responding to any challenge coming her way. Amy recalls when television commercials and the massive audience they captured were replaced by websites which became the beginning of the shift from outbound to inbound marketing. Beholding these changes, Amy asserts that one should make a choice to jump on the treadmill and learn at the speed of change or run the risk of becoming irrelevant.
