ABOUT NICOLETTE LEMMON
From designing to writing to planning to teaching, I have always loved marketing and its many facets! In college, my part-time job in a retail clothing store turned into my first advertising client and from there, well, that started a drive to use my passion for helping businesses achieve their goals by creating marketing solutions that put “butts in the seats” ready to buy!
Most of my work has been with service marketing, especially in the financial industry. Armed with my MBA after working in a credit union as the marketing director, I struck out on my own to develop an agency, which is now LemmonTree Marketing Group that would help connect businesses with their target markets and build their brands to achieve more success. In the early years, I taught graduate level and undergraduate marketing courses at the University of Phoenix because I loved to interact with students about marketing. That led to being a speaker on a variety of marketing topics and making training videos as well as founding the Credit Union Marketing University, a financial industry marketing education resource including webinar workshops, training and tools specifically related to successful marketing, business development, cross-selling and coaching for credit union professionals.
There is nothing more exciting to me than stretching further to learn more, explore a new facet of marketing, and develop a solution to enhance the value of a client’s brand. The heightened technology and changing media landscape are definitely shaking things up and giving all marketers like myself a run for the money in keeping up, changing our ideas, shifting gears and jumping on new bandwagons.
That’s the reason for my blog as you’ll see when you read My Marketing Insights!
