|Recommendations & Recognitions
“Few designers have the opportunity to work with an executive of a corporation who is also a coach and mentor—but I did when I worked with Mildred. Mildred’s impressive expertise in marketing and business management alongside her vast knowledge of the digital world are rare and beyond valuable to any organization. With her exceptional guidance, I successfully transitioned from a print to digital designer which is invaluable to my career. My respect for her as a professional is equal to that of a friend. Her refreshing, down to earth attitude and transparency is unlike I have ever seen in a corporate environment. Mildred’s leadership, dedication and zest for success raised the bar and created a motivated team that was ready to move mountains with her. I would jump at the chance to work with her again and can guarantee anyone else who is fortunate enough to work with this powerhouse of a professional woman will feel the same.”
“Mildred’s leadership around formulating strategies to help with the successful launch of our product was outstanding. She took a true interest in our success, brought the right talent to our projects and was a tremendous partner. The BrandPartners work that Mildred brought to the table enabled us to create digital assets and content at a significant savings. Her business acumen combined with the ability to execute is outstanding.”
“Mildred’s creative thinking, expertise, positive attitude and drive as a marketing professional made her an absolute pleasure to work with. She continually delivered results, challenged and encouraged her team, and went above and beyond in providing exceptional service and support, all while showing genuine integrity and respect as a manager and as a service provider. Under her direction, I became a better leader myself. Any organization would be lucky to have her.”
“BrandPartners, where her business acumen shined along with her strategic (both business and marketing) and creative strengths. She was responsible for redefining the role of BrandPartners within LPL and ensuring that BrandPartners was growing, viable business within LPL. Mildred is a savvy business woman who fully understands how to define, create and grow a creative agency as well as understand the creative process itself — a wonderful combination. It was an honor to work with Mildred.”
“Mildred was a great contributor to Sony’s emerging digital marketing effort. Sony’s brand has been built on its great products and has leveraged mostly traditional advertising and promotional channels to connect with customers. Mildred brought experience of the rapidly evolving digital eco-system to Sony’s marketing department, which then shifted a lot of effort to initiatives led by Mildred.”
