Associate Marketing Director

Marketing & Sales

Hi, I'm Rob! I'm currently the Associate Marketing Director for Reason Clothing, a role that allows me to work with an exceptional team of creatives in the heart of New York City.

Whether it's developing new branding concepts or product campaigns, staying on top of the latest social media trends, or designing engaging assets for the brand, I'm always eager to utilize my creative skills in marketing, social media, e-commerce, and design.

Throughout my experience, I have acquired vital brand skills including photo/video editing, web design, and influencer, SMS, email, and push notification marketing.

Aside from my core job responsibilities, I have a strong interest in various creative pursuits, such as photography, graphic design, and drumming.

In a constantly evolving industry, I'm thrilled to be part of a company that pushes boundaries and allows me to challenge myself every day.

As the Associate Marketing Director at Reason Clothing, I am responsible for planning seasonal marketing campaigns, product releases, sales and other social media / e-commerce strategies needed throughout the business.

I plan and schedule all social content, execute sales strategies for web, social media, SMS marketing, newsletters, and push notifications as well as assist with photography styling, wholesale presentations and advertisements.

In addition, I play a key role leading the creative direction with our marketing design for web and social while also managing visual assets, themes, products, apps, and integrations on the Shopify site. I conceptualize, film, and edit short-form video content (reels, tiktoks) and plan and assist with in-studio and on-location photo shoots.

I also oversee a team of designers, photographers, retouchers, e-commerce managers, customer service reps, and ad managers to effectively meet all creative, marketing, and e-commerce needs.

I am passionate about creative marketing and e-commerce and am committed to delivering exceptional results for Reason. Please visit our website at www.reasonclothing.com or follow us on Instagram at @reasonclothing.

My responsibilities included creating and publishing engaging content across social media, designing visual content, implementing sales and marketing strategies, collaborating with influencers and photographers, managing Shopify website functionality, and assisting at tradeshows.

Through my strategic approach and creative skillset, I helped increase brand awareness, engagement, and sales for Reason.

E-commerce Lead / Marketing Manager

As the Office Support Coordinator at Reason, my role was pivotal in ensuring seamless operations for the organization. I handled all e-commerce orders on Shopify and A2000 software, managing the end-to-end process from order placement to fulfillment.

My customer-centric approach allowed me to effectively manage customer service responsibilities. I proactively communicated with customers, addressing their concerns and resolving issues in a timely manner, ensuring a positive experience with our brand.

Through my contribution to the company's operations, I played a key role in driving customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.

After successfully serving as a Store Manager at a different location, I accepted a new challenge as an Assistant Store Manager at a higher volume, Tier 2 location.

Additionally, I was responsible for completing various business tasks such as tracking inventory levels and managing payroll. Overall, my role as an Assistant Store Manager provided me with valuable experience in managing a team, executing visual merchandising, and completing various business tasks necessary for the success of a retail store.
