As a key member of the direct marketing creative team, I help cultivate, share, and elevate the brand voice of Bath & Body Works — a.k.a "America’s Favorite Fragrances." Here, I create and ensure consistency between written and visual messages and write copy that consistently inspires our target customers and attracts new ones. None of my fast-paced, detail-oriented work comes to life in a silo. Every day, I efficiently work alongside designers, strategists, merchants, and business developers to quickly execute our collective ideas across multiple marketing channels. It's work that's inspiring, challenging, and, yes, fun.
