As the External Relations Specialist for Fresno State, I had the pleasure to hire and oversee David Roost. I consider David to be a hardworking, creative and driven individual, and one who was a pleasure to have in the office each day. During the time that he worked at Fresno State and the entire time I have known him, I have concluded that he is more than capable of exceeding in his chosen profession and has tremendous growth potential. I would like to recommend David as a candidate for the Account Manager position with Hilti. David was a dedicated member of his team and committed countless hours of time to promote and enhance Fresno State Athletics through both of his positions. He not only worked with members of this unit to create superior fan experiences at our events, but also developed and implemented policy and procedures to bring new ideas to the fans, alumni and students. David’s leadership and organizational skills were invaluable to our game day activities and long term marketing goals, some of which he developed from the ground up. In my opinion, David has an unwavering devotion to his work and exemplifies a strong work ethic, high academic success and tremendous character. He is a trustworthy individual and would be an excellent candidate for this position at Hilti. Sincerely,
PAUL LADWIG SENIOR ASSOCIATE ATHLETICS DIRECTOR/EXTERNAL RELATIONS

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS..........................................MARKETING CONSULTANT This is a one page summary of a marketing consultation created for Stadio wireless. February 2015.
STADIO MArkeTIng cOnSulTIng nOTeS Consumers make decisions because of how a brand makes them FEEL. This is why as a business, we need not ask ourselves “What are we selling?” but more importantly, “Why are we selling it?” We are drawn to things that feel right, that feel good, often without being able to explain exactly why. The limbic system is responsible for this. This is the area of the brain that processes feelings, motivations, experiences
and memories of what is enjoyable and what is not. This part of the brain is responsible for our decision-making, and it has no capacity for language. We often do things simply because they “feel right” and we are hard pressed to explain exactly why. Working off this conceptual framework, I offer the following:
Marketing Message - BeFOre
Marketing Message - aFter
“Stadio specializes in helping businesses monetize their Wi-Fi. Our wireless technology is effective and competitively priced. Our software is designed to help your customers utilize their mobile devices and we provide fan engagement and vital customer analytics. Do you want to buy our product?”
“everything we do is driven by our passion to connect people. The best moments in life should be shared, and we believe that bringing people together is an essential need. We support this idea by; helping customers utilize their mobile devices, and businesses engage their followers, gain analytics and monetize their Wi-Fi. We just happen to sell effective and competitively priced wireless technology. Want to buy one?”
Feel the difference? This is why – in my opinion – Stadio needs to share its goal on an emotional-level FIRST. Then share how its products/services accomplish that goal. This emotional-level message needs to be delivered consistently in every sales pitch, website page, printed material, advertisement, etc. When a customer uses Stadio, they are doing something social and fun; while at a game, a concert, a restaurant, doing fun things. Stadio needs to carry this spirit into the center of its brand.
“
Stadio won’t sell itself to a business because it’s what the business wants, but rather because it’s what the customers want. Stadio can differentiate itself by engaging with its customers in such a way that they feel emotionally connected to the brand. A business needs to differentiate itself by engaging with its customers, connecting with them socially and causing an emotional reaction through its communications. This emotional connection is what drives people to take action. The social era will reward those who realize they can’t create this value by themselves. This is where Stadio comes in.
At the end of the day people won’t remember what you
”
said or did, they will remember how you made them feel. -Maya Angelou

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS..........................................MARKETING CONSULTANT This is a one page summary of a marketing plan created for Coronado Brewing Company. January 2015.
Marketing, Social Media & Public Relations Strategic Plan Coronado Brewing Company “Products are created in the factory, but brands are created in the mind.” Marketing Relationships “Why should I buy Coronado beer?” This is the most important question we must answer. Through research, strategy and planning we will answer that question by developing a Position Strategy – this will be our guiding light in marketing. Once the position strategy has been chosen, we must take strong steps to deliver and communicate this position to our targeted consumers. It is absolutely vital that our marketing communications be organized and integrated, so we can deliver a consistent message that reflects this positioning strategy. This strategy will be reflected in how we brand our product through marketing, social media and public relations. Below is a brief outline of how that process will go. -
-
-
-
Segmentation opportunities o It starts with research, analysis, and data collection. o Develop profiles and bases for identifying each market segment to best view the market structure. Thus dividing up the segments we need to market to by location, by demographic information, by psychographic and behavioral information. Target marketing o Identify which segments provide the biggest growth potential and which have the highest value so we can target the segments we desire most. Positioning for competitive advantage o The place our product occupies in our consumers’ minds relative to our competitors. o It is necessary to identify what makes CBC differentiate itself from its competitors; this requires thorough research, thought, and careful planning. o What differentiates CBC from the others…? What value do we offer that’s better than the rest? How can we offer this value in a way that is difficult for our competitors to copy? Integrated marketing communications o Everything we do must communicate and support the ideals of our positioning strategy. This message needs to be clearly understood company-wide so we can all rally around the same ideal. From the experience our bartenders give our customers, to the way the media covers us, to the stories we tell on social media, the way we communicate with the world needs to support this ideal too.
Social Media & Public Relations Mission: - In order to support the ideals of our Positioning Strategy, we will utilize the media, and our social media to communicate our message to the world. Social media and public relations are intertwined and need to support each other always. By doing so we build relationships with them, understand them, and offer more value to them.
