Summary

Hi,

I'm Leah Bishop, a brand communications strategist with a degree in Public Relations and more than six years of marketing experience. I recently left my Global Sponsorships & Events Supervisor position at UPS to spend time traveling the world while searching for my next challenge. I'm seeking a creative and strategic brand marketing role, most preferably in the industries of travel, sports, and lifestyle. At UPS, I managed and activated our corporate partnerships with iconic global sports properties like Formula1 team Ferrari, the Masters Tournament, The Open, and Ryder Cup.

I collaborated with internal stakeholders and external agencies and partners to develop strategies to leverage our relationships to achieve business goals. Strategies ranged from digital communications campaigns to large-scale executive customer events around the world. I'm seeking a role in Marketing, Communications, or Events that is a fit for my versatile skill set and ability to manage multiple projects.

Many thanks,
Leah
