Alexandra Ivanoff
Digital Marketing Expert: I have always felt pride in being part of a company’s fullest potential. Tackling solo projects and coordinating social media campaigns independently at my most recent positions in one of Canada’s top SaaS Healthcare Corp. were rewarding, Chez Ta Mère and the American Chamber of Commerce were excellent opportunities to expand my experience to international perspectives.
My desire is to deliver the best possible results. I have created advertisements, ran paid and organic SEO/SEM with Google Ads, produced videos to grow awareness and market audiences, and monitored their impressions and engagement. My experience grew quickly and given the smaller size of a private company I was highly enhanced with B2B processes and responsibilities. Competitive analyses, sales alignments and customer’s experience, and satisfaction helped me gain a deeper understanding and steps involved in advertising and marketing products and services in the business markets.
I have worked as a Social Media Coordinator in Montreal at a local SMB that kept me up to date with social media trends and made me a forward thinker. At my latest position at the American Chamber of Commerce, I’ve developed excellent communication skills and professionalism having to coordinate events and meetings with board members and ambassadors and executives from around the world.
