Since graduating in 2013, I’ve spent the last three years at Team Epic, a sports, entertainment, and lifestyle marketing agency in Westport, CT. I joined Team Epic’s Trainee Program in July 2013 and my current role is as an associate in our Sponsorship Strategies and Activations group supporting AT&T and Wells Fargo account teams. I assist clients to manage relationship with sports and entertainment properties, execute activations around key events, and provide guidance for clients to best capitalize on sponsorship opportunities. I’ve worked on sponsorships with Major League Soccer, U.S. Soccer, the PGA Tour, and AEG as well as various colleges and universities.
One of my proudest moments came last summer when I was selected to participate in the Route 500 leadership development program for Team Epic’s parent company Dentsu Aegis. Through this program I’ve had the chance become involved in accelerated training programs as well as mentorship and networking opportunities across one of the leading holding companies in the marketing and advertising industry.
Coming through the Sport Management program at Syracuse University provided me a great foundation. Among the most important lessons instilled in me were the importance of networking (which led to my opportunity to interview at Team Epic) and the value in always asking questions and learning from those around me.
