@sushmaakella
Marketing manager who drives data-informed campaigns, launches, and compliant promotional programs.
What I'm looking for
I’m a marketing professional who manages end-to-end promotional and marketing execution, from research and strategic planning through launch. I monitor and track databases to keep projects on track and deliver solutions with clear contingency plans.
In my most recent role, I oversee spa marketing and operations support—brainstorming startup efforts, creating customer outreach materials, coordinating website content, and ensuring services and promotional assets are ready to drive awareness and sales. I also prepared detailed Excel statistical reports and built reporting from internal database data.
Earlier in my career, I led public affairs promotional and disease-awareness media projects with MAP review. I managed a portfolio of 20 brands and indications, coordinated cross-functional teams and external agencies, served as a compliance subject matter expert, and supported clients with process training and conflict resolution.
Across roles, I’ve analyzed competitive and market positioning, audited materials for GMP/FDA compliance, and created surveys, direct response mailers, and sales reports. My strength is combining market analysis, brand strategy, and project management to produce measurable outcomes.
