What do I do and who am I?
Visit http://blog.robertpayne.net/
I am the Marketing Manager for Twelve Horses, a full-service relationship marketing and messaging company specializing in designing interactive communication solutions. Check out twelvehorses.com. I am responsible for brand building and global positioning of Twelve Horses through marketing, advertising and pr efforts. While marketing a marketing company can be a bit of challenge, my job is made much easier by the fact that it is a great company powered by a great group of people.
I am also the Director at Large and former VP of Marketing for the Reno-Tahoe Chapter of the American Marketing Association. See renotahoeama.com. Our primary mission is to increase the knowledge-base of marketing professionals, as well as provide opportunities for networking and relationship building.
Prior to joining Twelve Horses, I worked in sales, marketing, advertising and pr for a variety of companies, including Mandalay/MGM Mirage, Switchback PR & Marketing, Stoel Rives LLP, Preferred Capital Corporation and Patagonia.
I have an M.B.A with a specialization in Marketing from the University of Nevada and an undergraduate degree from Clemson University. I grew up in Charleston, SC where I attended Porter Gaud until I went to The Asheville School, which is a small college prepratory boarding school near the Blue Ridge Mountains.
If the people that raised me offer any indication as to who I am, my father is a psychiatrist, my mother is an artist, and they are both remarried to attorneys. Their varying careers and personalities continue to provide me with invaluable perspectives on practically everything.
I enjoy literature, art, music, fashion, food and photography just as much as I enjoy dropping off of waterfalls in my kayak and ripping powder on my skis. I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and I love to travel.
Most importantly, I value my wife, friendships and family more than anything, and life would feel pretty darn shallow without them.
