// About ME

About a guy…

Hello! I’m Neil Bains

Professionally speaking… my experience is in developing & managing creative marketing solutions to effectively represent your brand through relevant marketing channels as they relate to your business objectives.

Personally speaking… I love pop culture, stand-up comedy, all types of art & design, concerts, movies (any genre, but I do like a good sci-fi), fresh sneakers, Mario Kart  Racing, Spider-Man, reading, eating (self-professed foodie), and working out regularly because of the aforementioned “eating” which takes place far too often than it should!

Time to Flex

Here’s a list of my marketing & creative abilities which provide me a thorough understanding of the entire marketing process from research, setting campaign objectives, developing content, launching campaigns, monitoring, and then measuring results.

Cheeseburger… Anyone?

I have excellent oral and written skills and possess a keen eye for detail. As a self-starter with organizational and multi-tasking skills, I always deliver projects on time, and on budget. I am very personable and enjoy cross-team collaborations from other departments to get the job done… and then perhaps we all go for a killer cheeseburger after work!?
