MAlN CHARACTER: ASHLEY DEJESUS

Looking for a glimpse at my power + abilities? Here's your story. But if you're looking for the TL;DR version, keep scrolling! 

ORlGlN STORY

MAJOR ARCS

CURRENT RUN

CHOOSE  YOUR  CHARACTER

Similar to comic book characters, I wear a lot of different hats (or identities). In the last few years, the lines have blurred between what I work on for fun and what I have done to build my career. There's that terrible saying, "jack of all trades, master of none" and to that I say, PFFT from 6+ feet away with a mask on.

Each "character" below webs my main character together into a well-rounded creative that understands the complexities teams face on the client, account, production, ad ops, creative, digital, and user side of things. You want someone that works with the anticipation of Murphy's Law for your team, marketing campaigns & events in all of its stages (anything that can go wrong, will - so be prepared to adapt).

All the good your favorite superheroes do, are usually done by a character wearing a different hat wearing the identity of that main character. Here are the "Peter Parkers, Clark Kents, Cindy Moons" that web up Ashley DeJesus.

MAJOR ARC BLURBS

When you're getting ready to pick up a new book or watch a new movie, what do you do? You probably look up reviews first. You ask your trusted network on their opinion. Then you make your decision.

The odds of my character and another character being up for the same offer exists - so I gathered the reviews for you. I asked people in my trusted network (and possibly yours) to write a blurb about their work experience with me as if it was on the back of a comic book meant to entice someone to give the book a chance. Plus a dash of tweets because digital marketing.

Ashley's ability to navigate the ever-changing landscape of technology is astounding. She understands how, in today's world, our ability to be successful is tied directly to our presence and the perception of our brand online. She is a motivated creative, a hard worker, and she is unafraid to advocate for the strategy she believes will lead to the best sales and reviews of one's product and service.

Ashley was a terrific colleague. In our time working together, Ashley brought her "A" game daily and with all of her projects. Ashley puts her heart and soul in all she does and it is apparent in her work - whether directing a photoshoot or designing a new marketing plan. Ashley's potential is boundless as her drive to grow, to capture attention, carefully listen, and not wanting to miss a thing.

Having Ashley on your team is like having a secret weapon in your back pocket at all times. Without her, the mission can fail. But with her, it goes beyond its potential. One of her features is having skills & language in creative, production, brand identity & strategy; she understands a mission from all angles & executes it with success.

Ashley never failed to inspire me with the enthusiasm she poured into all of her work - even in the most challenging conditions.

Any work environment that Ashley wants to go to is lucky to have her. I would've been a complete mess without her. She was often the lone executor behind a lot of my harebrained ideas while we were busy building Basil Hayden's social channels. Ashley is diligent, organized, sales-focused and creative. She is a team player, willing to work herself silly in the trenches and rarely takes any credit. She is versatile, flexible and super quick with turnarounds. Truly could not say enough great things about her.
