Title: Advertising Production Manager (02-00 to ?-??)

What I am doing:

  • Trafficking banner, tile, and other advertisements (e.g. sponsorships) on Michigan's most visited website, Michigan Live. (I have experience with both DoubleClick's DART system and RealMedia's Open AdStream 5.0)
  • Creating and monitoring the progress and response rate of over 200 advertising campaigns daily.
  • Compiling site statistics and analyzing the data to produce reports and forecasts, using Webtrends. (I have also used Analog.)
  • Regular meetings with technical department to streamline current processes in order to complete work in less time, with more accuracy, and fewer headaches!
  • Delegating design and administrative projects (although occasionally I like to do a project or two or three myself...it's fun!).
  • Writing documentation for currently undocumented procedures.
  • Consulting with sales representatives for project estimates and technical details.
  • Doing other stuff too, I'll update this later....
