Description
I am a Promotions Assistant with eight years of experience at iHeartMedia. I recently relocated to New York City from Syracuse, NY in search of that energy that you can only find in a big city.
My time spent carrying out promotional campaigns and events with iHeartMedia has been a fun and insightful experience. It takes a dedicated team to execute multiple functions for five different radio stations. As the senior promotions assistant, I take a proactive approach to make sure that the team has what they need and that they are comfortable with the logistics required to make it all work. I know that the devil is in the details, so I take great care in reviewing everything including event plans from start to finish and copy for promotional emails. I believe that my thoroughness and highly organized approach would greatly complement any marketing role in the entertainment industry. My ability to learn quickly and my demonstrated dependability have allowed me to wear many hats as a Promotions Assistant.
I am also known as the on-site broadcast engineer, the photographer, the sound guy, and the DJ. I take pride in all of my responsibilities whether it is waking up at 3am to set up a morning broadcast or creating digital content for some of the highest rated radio stations in the Syracuse market. From the multiple roles that I play, my timeliness and adaptability have been tested to the point that they are second nature. These skills can easily be applied in the entertainment industry.
I have included my full resume in this profile as additional information about my experience. I can be contacted through email at keenan.e.rice@gmail.com.
