I’m looking for a collaborative, healthy workplace where smart people build great things together and everyone feels like they have a stake in the outcome. I bring experience, curiosity and a great work ethic, and I value colleagues I can both teach and learn from. I’m industry-agnostic and energized by opportunities to drive growth, build brands that matter and create success as a team.

@adinasmith
I'm a senior marketing executive who builds brands, launches businesses & drives growth through integrated marketing, brand, PR & digital, seamlessly.
What I'm looking for
I help people fall in love with brands—then make them impossible to forget.
I’m a brand builder and integrated marketing executive with experience building, launching and transforming brands across Fortune 50 companies, startups, global organizations and leading agencies.
I work at the intersection of brand, culture, creativity and business growth, turning complex challenges into clear strategies and brands people care about.
My career spans Ogilvy, Dentsu Creative, VMLY&R and Deutsch, along with senior marketing roles at JPMorgan Chase, TIAA, REVOLT, Kroll and Pad Home Pet Services. I helped build REVOLT from pre-launch, supported the global transformation of Duff & Phelps into Kroll, and served as CMO of Pad.
My expertise spans brand strategy, integrated marketing, growth, advertising, digital, social, PR, creative, experiential, content and partnerships and more. I’m happy to take on nearly any task.
At my core, I’m a builder of brands, teams, trust, and results. And I do it with excitement, vision, and humor to navigate anything unscathed.
