Avenues: The World SchoolGlobal Creative Project Manager
Jan. 2020 - Oct. 2023New York, New YorkI managed the creative process for all print and digital marketing collateral for five Avenues campuses and future campuses while actively contributing to the conceptualization and design process of each project. As the Global Print Manager, I like to describe my job as consisting of three major roles: - Creative Project Manager - I orchestrated the seamless operation of our global creative team spanning five campuses. Utilizing Asana, I created meticulous timelines and request forms, managed budget, and assured the highest quality for every project. I functioned as a crucial liaison, facilitating effective communication between colleagues on all campuses, the HQ Marketing Team, and the Experience Team. Additionally, I coordinated with external graphic designers, copywriters, and print vendors to ensure the successful completion of all design projects. - Graphic Designer - Collaborating closely with our freelance Graphic Designer and Global Creative Director, I played a pivotal role in conceptualizing, designing, and managing various design projects. On more extensive projects, my responsibilities spanned from creating initial files, editing, and finalizing files to versioning and adapting projects for our multiple campuses in multiple languages. On more daily projects, I exercised complete creative control from inception to the final product. - Print Manager - As the print manager, I cultivated and maintained relationships with both current and new vendors. This involved obtaining project quotes, managing budgets and invoices, and overseeing all aspects of file preparation for print. I served as the key contact for sample approvals, ensuring that every output met our stringent brand standards.
