I spend my days managing, planning, strategizing, documenting and coordinating all marketing projects for clients. I work with them closely to meet their needs, goals and generate revenue. On a daily basis I get to work with professionals in their fields, magazine publishers, printers, graphic designers and writers constantly working to create new educational content, magazine advertisements, informative videos and engaging emails. I love the variety of tasks in my job--I’m never bored and it’s constantly changing! I love the autonomy and the people too, everyone is creative and loves what they do! It’s a fun and rewarding atmosphere and career!
I recently became a mother and don’t have “spare” time as I’m sure all parents can relate. It’s the most amazing time in my life! All time outside of work is spent cuddling, playing, learning and creating with my daughter and husband. I love living in the Pacific Northwest and enjoy several outdoor sports including wakeboarding and water skiing, riding ATV’s and horseback riding.

Hannah Robinson—Content Strategist
Fresh out of college with a professional writing degree in one hand and a PR minor in the other, Hannah jumped straight into Content Marketing. Something you should know: Hannah is an extrovert. So the switch from a busy college student to a quiet life of working from home came as quite the shock. That is, until she became the Writing Team Supervisor. Now, to offset the solitary work of writing and strategy, she meets with members of her team almost daily. Hannah thoroughly enjoys working with this worldwide team. And she has taken it upon herself to help maintain an exciting and collaborative virtual workplace environment.
Even when she's not working, she has a hard time turning off her "marketing brain." So, that means critiquing commercials when she's watching TV with her husband. Or even applauding good billboards—which are hard to come by—on the interstate while driving to visit family. And when Hannah is completely disconnected from work, you'll find her either quietly reading a book surrounded by all her houseplants or out making memories with friends... which usually isn't quiet, being she's an extrovert and all.
