I am quick on my feet and reliable in dealing with multiple tasks involving various departments. With German being my first language, I also handle translation and communications with customers and suppliers based overseas. Within my first year in this position, I was assigned the task to lead and coordinate several corporate projects on behalf of the department.

Currently, I am transitioning into an assistant buyer role so that I can be more involved with the direct functions of the department.\r\n \r\nIf there are any opportunities (I am not too good to do anything!) for me to exercise my thirst for experience I would love to meet with your team. \r\n \r\nBest Regards,\r\nSabrina Ortiz'),(96,'We have a stress buster challenge coming up.

When I was based out of Northern Colorado I specialized in Women Owned Businesses.  I teach a class in Women\'s Financial Literacy locally and in Denver but the my business is not skewed toward Women.\r\nIncome:  The Valley is plagued by poverty so the individual client income is equally split under 50,000(a lot of the employees of my business owners)  and over $125,000 upward to 500,000 for the business owner.  90% live in San Luis Valley 9% live in Northern Colorado and 1% spread World Wide.\r\n\r\nPsychographics:  Bottom line they all are required to file a tax return so they are required to see someone.

Everyone can benefit from Pilates, regardless of your age or physical fitness level. Whether you are 20 or 60, injury free or suffering from an ailment, Pilates is for you!\r\n\r\nThe Pilates Method of Body Conditioning was developed by Joseph H. Pilates (1881 - 1967) and has been practiced for decades in the dance community since 1925, when Joseph started a studio in New York City. It has just recently gained momentum in the mainstream fitness industry, as more people are seeking a safer and more natural total body workout.   \r\n\r\nPilates is a precise set of movements using specialized spring resistant equipment to create longer, leaner and more limber muscles while strengthening the ‘powerhouse’. A strong powerhouse, which includes the abdominal, gluteal, and lower back muscles, creates a firm foundation for movement and reduces the risk of injury. \r\nPilates helps, among other things, to improve and/or increase:\r\nFlexibility;\r\nJoint range of motion;\r\nOverall body strength;\r\nBalance and coordination;\r\nAthletic performance;\r\nBone density;\r\nCirculation of blood flow;\r\nPostural alignment; and\r\nMuscle tone\r\n \r\nCome try a complimentary 55 minute session to see how Pilates can improve your health and fitness.

The first two places are home and work but the third place - café, coffee shop, tavern, hair salon, health club and other hangouts, - “…are essential to a community’s vitality and the basis of  a viable democracy.”  He envisions places where one can go for the “…pleasures of good company and lively conversation.”  When we first moved to Denver eight years ago, we sought such a place.  What we found were several places any one of which would meet the criteria of a “third place” (like a Cheers where they know your name) but didn’t meet all of our expectations.  In March of this year we found the DAC and knew right away is was to be our “third place.”  In fact we refer to it as the Great Good Place.\r\n\r\nMaybe we were unreasonable but we were looking for a single place that was the sum all the places that we  were frequenting; we found that and more in the DAC.  The concept of Clubs within the Club appealed to us - in our case yoga, water aerobics, fitness center, golf, Book Club and Platinum Club - but what really captured our attention was the way people from those and all the other “Clubs” could come together around food and drink.  The large banquets have been fabulous -  The Clam Bake, Back to the DAC, the Annual Meeting - and we are looking forward to our first Parade of Lights.  Our meals in the Snack Bar and Tavern have been just as good and getting better; we average twice a week at one place or another.  The best deal in town is the wine tasting on the first Wednesday followed by a pasta dinner made to your specifications while you watch.  But what we have noticed is that often in the Tavern there are too many empty tables.  We don’t yet understand why because the food is good, the staff are helpful and friendly (after a few visits they will know you name and member number) and the price is right (especially with the parking discount and frequent diner cards.)\r\n\r\nSo bring your family, business colleagues or friends from your “club” and join us.

Success = participation and effort.'),(4892,'We are a top-rated, peer reviewed boutique law firm in Denver. Wallace Scott offers a variety of services that can help you in every aspect of business and life. We are your professional, trusted advisors. '),(4895,'Taken from the Strategic Marketing Plan (February 2012):\r\n\r\n1. Strengths\r\n- Lack of Bureaucracy: Wallace Scott attorneys do not answer to a board of directors or trustees and are not obligated to some of the common standards or expectations of larger multi-partner firms. Our advice and representation is based on client needs and objectives, not the needs or objectives of the firm. Clients are not subject to a hidden agenda. \r\n- Size: Our clients know all of our attorneys and staff. There is no mystery of who is working on a case or who is answering the phone at the office.  \r\n- Education: Our attorneys and staff are experienced, well-educated individuals; we hold Juris Doctorates, LL.B.s/LL.M.s, MBAs, MSLAs, etc.\r\n- Wallace Scott attorneys understand the value of personalized, individual service. \r\n- Wallace Scott employees are attentive and professional. \r\n- Affordability: Services are an incredible value for the price. \r\n- Wallace Scott is “in-touch” with the world. We use current technology, communicate with current and appropriate terminology, encourage continuing education (legal or otherwise), and make efforts to understand our client’s environment.\r\n- Wallace Scott employees are a part of the community. We are your neighbors, friends, co-counsel, classmates, and fellow board members. We are seen at events, we are eating at your restaurant, etc. \r\n- Larimer Square: Larimer Square is a hallmark of Downtown Denver. With two simple words, “Larimer Square”, people know exactly where our office is located. The office of Wallace Scott is not just a cross-street or tall building. Having an office in Larimer Square means that we are literally a part of the Lower Downtown community. People like to visit Larimer Square: the restaurants, the shops, the lights, the décor, the charm. \r\n- We are a full service firm for small to medium sized businesses. \r\n\r\n2. Weaknesses\r\n- Wallace Scott, PC is young. In comparison, most of the Downtown Denver firms have been practicing for decades; some of the more recognizable firms, longer. \r\n- We are in a state of growth and development. If a client dislikes a change, they may lose faith in the firm. Growth may include upgrades or changes to systems or procedures, which introduce the opportunity for error. New employees have a learning curve. \r\n- Our size: Many consumers blindly choose the biggest organization; there is an assumption that bigger is better, or bigger is most popular. Because of our small size, we will be fighting for the attention that is automatically given to large firms. \r\n- Limited resources: Again, because of our size, our firm will have comparatively limited resources. Resources include staff, experts, in-house services, technology and facilities. \r\n\r\n3. Opportunities \r\n- Client Satisfaction Surveys: Clients have not been formally polled or asked to provide suggestions. Client input is valuable; clients may have wonderful, operational ideas to make the firm better. Negative feedback should be considered just as appreciated as a good recommendation; we can pass along a positive referral, and use a critique as a chance to improve.\r\n- Marketing Efforts in General: Because this is the firm’s first formal marketing campaign, we have a chance to build this into something dynamic and rewarding. \r\n- Our “Youth”: The competition is extremely dry and boring. Wallace Scott is a vibrant, exciting firm with a zest for providing trustworthy client service. To be frank, our competition is not. \r\n- Location: Having an office in Larimer Square means that we are literally a part of the Lower Downtown community. Other Larimer Square law offices include Gregory D. Robinson, PC (criminal defense), Feldman Nagel, LLC (oil and gas law), and Franke Greenhouse List & Lippitt, LLP (see Competition section, page 6).  The Larimer Square shops, restaurants and businesses are a community of our own; we can network within that community. \r\n- We can market a positive value alternative. \r\n\r\n4. Threats \r\n- Client Resources: The Colorado and United States economy is still rebounding and many clients have limited financial resources. \r\n- Client Spending: Many clients do not understand the value of hiring an attorney for their business and/or personal needs. Clients would rather spend money to vacation, to improve their home, to educate their children, etc. \r\n- Competition: The threat of competition always exists. \r\n- Continued Growth: Ability to attract additional attorneys. \r\n'),(4896,'As an administrator, my \"business\" is different than the attorneys I support. However, as a member of the firm, my goals for the firm are to increase revenues, build client relationships, launch new practice areas, and mantain cohesiveness between the firm\'s team members.

They are currently not formally measured, but anything that brings a new client, or new case/issue is a success. I also consider a client who is willing to recommend the firm to others a success. '),(4902,'There are quite a bit of ideas, but only a few have been implemented so far. We willl advertise (5280 Magazine, possibly on legal websites such as the Colorado Bar Association website or Law Week Colorado); attorneys will host, attend, and speak at events; we will donate to charitable events and organizations; we will host events at the firm (i.e. Opening Day party, box suite tickets at sporting events, summertime cigar and scotch nights, open houses). '),(4903,' I think our employees view our company in a positive way. Unfortunately, some of our new employees may have not experienced a very smooth \"on-boarding\" process (only in regards to e-mail setup, phone access, etc.). I think all of the employees of Wallace Scott are happy to be here and are enthusiastic about their opportunity to work with the team and to \"cross sell\" or collaborate with clients.'),(4905,'I think our clients view our company in a positive light, also. Since we are growing, I\'m not sure they know what the firm is capable of (especially with our newer attorneys) but that will improve with time. '),(4924,'Our Strategic Marketing Plan did include a Competition Analysis, which included the strengths and weaknesses of several Denver and Boulder-based law firms with similar practice groups.

I am interested in this position first and foremost for its  potential to employ and challenge my commercial design experience.  My previous work at the Colorado Department of Heath and Environment along with my current career at Apple, has allowed me to experience the rewards of working successfully with a team under tight deadlines.\r\nMy qualifications for this job include highly developed organizational, artistic and design skills. After graduating university with a BFA in Photography and a BA in Spanish Literature, I completed    multiple internships where I expanded my knowledge of design layout and complex photo alterations using Adobe software.  Through my eight years of experience at the Arvada Center and running my own business, DeLish Photography LLC, I have both organized exhibitions and designed the visually appealing brochures necessary to promote my work.  Visual communication has been a crucial element in both the marketing of my own business and in the detailed personalization of the final product.  I am also familiar with the Adobe Creative Suite design programs as I not only use these in my photography, but I have also taught classes in Photoshop and digital manipulation. I employ Photoshop in nearly every aspect of DeLish Photography LLC, while I have used InDesign to create basic catalog layouts and  Illustrator to develop designs for customer’s unique press products.  Furthermore, I have had experience with imagery, typography, color theory, file formats, press  production versus web production, in addition to formal instruction in the elements and principles of art and design. With my BFA in Photography and a developing passion for design I am looking to further my skills in graphic design and web development.  With this Junior Graphic Designer opportunity I would look forward to applying my creativity in a practical work environment.\r\nI believe that my ambition and determination to remain educated on evolving technologies and social media would be essential to my success at Brand Iron. My position as an Apple customer support technician has given me current experience with some of today\'s software and devices. Every week, I show customers how to best utilize their software and technology to enhance their business and      personal life.  I am also responsible for maintaining the legal, business and financial records of my own photography enterprise. These numerous duties have taught me to be adaptable and to work efficiently under tight deadlines.  Additionally, my career at Apple has also allowed me to develop my customer service skills and enhanced my analytical skills through heavy amounts of problem solving during      demanding situations. I enjoy making complicated ideas accessible to everyone, and interacting with customers allows me to provide them with personalized solutions that are sensitive to their needs and priorities.  \r\nUsing my experience and thirst for knowledge in; visual design, computer software, and     customer service, I believe I would be effective in the Brand Iron position.  I would be honored to have the opportunity to employ and challenge my visual communication skills with your team.\r\nThank you for your time and consideration in reviewing my application.\r\nVery truly yours,\r\n\r\nElisha Mustoe\r\n\r\nArtist, Photographer, Designer,\r\nVisual Communicator\r\nLakewood, CO 80228\r\nT (303) 579-9773\r\nelishazoe@mac.com\r\nPortfolio:\r\nwww.MindtheGapImages.com\r\nwww.DeLishPhotography.com\r\nwww.DeLishPhotographyllc.zenfolio.com\r\n\r\n\r\nResume:\r\n\r\nProfile\r\n\r\nAs a visual thinker I like to understand and synthesize situations in terms of images and illustrations.\r\n\r\nFavorite Designer ? Why?\r\nYves Bhar is probably best know as being the founder of Fuseproject.  He is a designer and an entrepreneur. His   approach to design requires a detailed understanding of the project at hand.  For example, his work with Puma to create a new shoe box took into   account all aspects of the company and the consumer experience.   The “Clever Little Bag” which replaced the puma shoe box not only took into considered the           sustainability and the cost of manufacturing but it also   considered the customer and puma employee experience.    I believe a well developed   design recognizes current society and their changing environment.  Designers have the ability to accelerate changes in society.\r\n\r\nExperience\r\n\r\nSpecialist, Apple; Littleton, CO- October 2011-Current\r\nAs a part-time Apple specialist I help educate people about their apple products/software and how those products can enrich their personal or business life.\r\n\r\nPresident, Designer, Retouch Artist, Press Production Artist, \r\nDeLish Photography LLC; Denver, CO- September 2009-Current \r\nI am one of two owners of DeLish Photography LLC.

To a logo that doesn\'t look like it was designed by a contest.  \r\nInternally, we have lots of discussions on what our products actually are, and how they are defined, and what makes the cut for our portfolio.

Speech recognition performance is critically dependent on huge, enormous, truly vast quantities of \"training\" data (these are the actual audio recordings of people previously saying the things you want to recognize in the future). The leaps in performance in speech rec over the last several years can be more attributed to data collection than to algorithm improvements.  So, even though Red Shift can claim superior algorithms in some areas, existing players that have been collecting audio for years can retain an advantage.\r\n-The Market.  For our web-based recognizer product, there just simply may not be a demand. This is tricky though since this product is the 1st of its kind.\r\n-The state of the art. Our web-based recognizer is a novel and first-of-a-kind product.  However, examples of similar systems are starting to appear. The capabilities that this product provides are even being standardized by an international body (though still very much in draft).  And Google has begun to implement some of the capabilities in its Chrome browser (which is free of couse).\r\n\r\nStrengths and Opportunities:\r\n-Even though I just mentioned other products starting to move into our space, none is as mature as our offering. \r\n-We can quickly offer custom and targeted speech recognition solutions, which is very difficult and/or cost-prohibitive to get from many of the established speech-recognition providers. \r\n-Though it has not been productized yet, we have conducted internal tests that suggest our speech recognition is more noise-tolerant in certain situations than competing products.'),(5176,'First, I want all of our customers to know that our products are top quality and solid; that our systems work the way we say they will, and that our recognition accuracy is among the best.\r\nAlso first, we should be able to serve our customers better than any of our competitors.  We should be responsive and easy to reach.  This is a common complaint of a certain competitor and represents a great opportunity for Red Shift.'),(5179,'Since our services are all custom designed and built right now, we sit down with the customer to capture general requirements and expectations for what they are trying to accomplish with speech recognition.'),(5182,'Web-based recognizer product: Not really any other players in this market, but Nuance, Google, or Microsoft could jump in if they wanted.  And as I noted, this product could be overcome by emerging web standards.\r\n\r\nSpeech Recognition Service: Nuance, IBM beginning this summer.'),(5184,'We can more easily offer custom, targeted, specific speech recognition solution.  For example, knowing you\'re a retail bank, we can tune the speech recognition products to expect things like \"branches\" and \"account balances,\" while ignoring queries about the best bars around town.\r\nAnd as mentioned in another section, we have internal tests suggesting that our speech recognition accuracy is more noise-tolerant than any other product.'),(5202,'Good Afternoon,\r\n I appologize for contacting you in this manner, however I was not sure of any other way to get in contact with the Brand Iron Team.\r\n\r\n I submitted a job application on Creative Hotlist.com this afternoon, however I do not have a subscription where I can attach a PDF portfolio.

There are many acquisitions and mergers creating ever larger firms. The biggest threat is the shear numbers of competitors calling each tenant or occupier. The number of calls creates a barrier to getting your message across for how we are different. With all of the merger activity, there are increasingly small, talented firms popping up that are able to compete.

I am currently seeking Account Planning internships and full-time opportunities and would love to meet up sometime and talk about Brand Iron’s work and culture.      \r\n\r\nI am a passionate brand architect, market researcher, marketing communications craftsman, and shrewd market strategist.  More specifically I am insatiably curious about consumer behavior, cognitive psychology, and behavioral economics.  I am endlessly fascinated by the process of uncovering the behavioral drivers, latent motivations, and individual needs that influence the decision making process.  My years of creative experience as a musician, business experience in consumer retail leadership, and MBA coursework have all contributed to my passion for the Account Planning role.  My experience conducting market research, developing captivating brand stories, new products, marketing strategies, and communication plans for start-ups and entrepreneurially minded clients gives me a unique perspective on strategic development and tactical implementation.  \r\n\r\nDuring my MBA studies I took advantage of every opportunity to build a robust and integrated marketing skillset, working to achieve balance between quantitative and qualitative abilities.  My courses included in-depth studies of a broad spectrum of strategic, tactical, and analytical marketing topics including digital marketing, new product development, brand building, analyzing key marketing metrics, and performing extensive brand audits.  During school and post-graduation I have worked both on the agency side and on the client side as a consultant developing strategic marketing and engaging integrated communications plans for local digitally based entrepreneurs in the Denver/Boulder area, performing and interpreting a wide variety of primary and secondary research techniques to arrive at actionable market insights and drive the evolution of the client’s brand.                        \r\n\r\nI thrive in fast-paced creative environments, am a strong writer, an engaging verbal communicator, a fast learner, and have led successful teams in a wide variety of settings.  I excel in a team-based collaborative culture, and constantly look for opportunities to learn from my peers.  My eclectic creative and team leadership background has contributed to the development of unique strategic insights in my current marketing endeavors, and has given me the ability to effectively prioritize and coordinate multiple projects with ease and with a cool head.   \r\n\r\nPlease see my LInkedin page for resume, education, etc.\r\n\r\nLet’s talk!\r\n\r\nThank you,\r\n\r\nJoe Sexton\r\njoseph.sexton@colorado.edu\r\n303-619-7807\r\nlinkedin.com/in/joesexton1\r\n'),(7973,'Concrete Action Plan with Dates and Responsible Parties-accomplish goals of who we are (the details) how we want to say it, print it, structure it (all the details).
