Also known as: MichelleGMason
I have seven years of experience in television advertising, where I have established a strong command of the industry landscape, and the commercial clearance process in particular. I have adapted to the ongoing changes within the industry and met any challenge I've been faced with head on, managing tight deadlines and multiple high-volume accounts at once. I have solid management experience, as established in my role at McCann Erickson. I have been promoted three times in five years and went from managing a staff of clearance coordinators to now training and overseeing the Traffic department in the clearance process, as our two departments joined forces following the agency's restructuring in 2010. I recently graduated from The New School University with an MA in Media Studies and a certificate in Media Management. I am also a freelance writer with experience reviewing film, television and books. I am a creative person who is always looking for new challenges and writing opportunities. I am passionate about the social media space and have begun freelancing in this area as well in order to be able to sharpen my skills on many different platforms. Specialties My areas of expertise include my written and verbal communication skills, negotiation abilities, in-depth knowledge of advertising guidelines/standards and getting fast results and turnaround time on a tight deadline. I am also familiar with the digital landscape and am continuously learning in order to stay on top of the latest trends. I completed Master's courses in media theory, production and management.
