Mark Arnold Resume
Digitizing documents for archiving and retrieval via the Internet is a vital service I offer as Digital Archiving Specialist.
As Account Representative, I helped in assisting new and existing advertisers with the creation of commercial copy to double sales in a single year. Verbal, written and visual presentations to clients and prospective clients are components of my expertise.
My creative experience includes creation of over-the-air as well as in-house promotion, scheduling on-air promotional spots, writing copy, developing and writing original programming, etc. Regular contact with newspapers and listing services as well as liaison with production, art, traffic, engineering and sales were maintained while keeping abreast of programming and audience delivery in the local market.
In addition to hi-tech, newspaper, television, cable, audio-visual and advertising sales experience I am skilled in many computer programs and have authored and managed Internet web sites. I have also created, edited and published a periodical.
I have the necessary verbal and written communication, audio and visual, as well as interpersonal skills along with knowledge of the television industry and newspaper advertising with a BA in Broadcast Communications to support the company's growth and success.
I look forward to further discussion of this position and my experience. I offer my samples upon request.
Regards,
Mark Arnold
