Kelsey Leighton

Introduction

I am a creative, enthusiastic, and tech-savvy marketing professional with a passion for project management and social media. I enjoy solving marketing strategy challenges and am able to think very effectively on my feet to create solutions to unique challenges. Also, I excel to focusing on mission critical details while considering vision and scope of multiple projects in parallel.

Where I can contribute to your team: In short, my energy is infectious. I love getting people excited about completing a common goal during a difficult project. Need someone to work cross-functionally with grace, flexibility, and a professional sense of humor? I’m your person.

What’s my dream job? Well, I answer that question with a dream problem I’d like to solve in the future. I want to work with a world-renowned brand and be given a new product, service, or idea and drive the entire marketing/brand strategy. How would we meet our target consumer where they are, with the right messaging, and on the right platform? I want to solve those problems that brands like Google, Facebook, Apple, and Target meet on a daily basis. Bonus if I could work for a rad outdoor company like REI or Mountain Hardwear.

Biggest Success: Launching the Palo Alto University website by collaborating with internal stakeholders and external vendors to manage the strategy, content, development and UX design of the website.

Weekend MO: Taking on too many craft projects, capturing the perfect “cat selfie“, seeking peace and quiet on the hiking trail, and experimenting with homemade ice cream perfection.
