Hello! I'm Amanda.

I’ve been a Marketing Professional for the past 8 years, and enjoy continuing to learn new skills. I decided that I needed a site where I could demonstrate both my professional and personal information since many of my friends, family, and coworkers are spread out across the country.

While I’m originally from Illinois, I went to college in Florida and earned a Bachelor of Science degree specializing in Business Marketing. After college, I moved to Atlanta and worked in the marketing department of a large electronics distributor. After spending several years working with large partner corporations such as Microsoft, Asus, Acer, and Samsung, I left and joined the team at my current company. We are a manufacturer of robotic pool cleaners and I work with a fantastic team of dedicated individuals who all bring a unique skill set to the table.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me in the link above. I look forward to hearing from you.

Amanda's Adventures

Adventures

Shalom! The company that I work for is based out of Israel.

I’ve had a fantastic time working with an international company and working with counterparts from Israel, France, and Argentina. We also participate in numerous tradeshows all over the United States.

As part of my job, I organize the tradeshows that our company attends and assist in the design, layout, and workflow of the booths. We pride ourselves on always having the most impressive displays at any of the shows that we attend.

I’ve also had the opportunity to assist with the filming of a show that we were on for the History Channel (Operation Build). It was quite an experience to see the behind-the-scenes world of television.

My first exposure to online marketing was through my husband, who owns a web development company which also offers online marketing services. I truly believe that much of the world is going "from bricks to clicks" and as a marketing professional it is my job to help facilitate that transition.

I quickly found that I am intrigued by the analytics, forecasting, and behavior of online customers, as well as the data that goes into the strategies. I enjoy looking through web pages of competing sites to find why one ranks higher than the other in order to help them develop a more effective SEO strategy. Having a more in-depth knowledge about how search engines score the pages provides me with a unique ability to help improve our placement in the search results for the keywords that we are targeting.
