Today's member spotlight is the ever improving Lydia Anaka!
Lydia is a first-generation college graduate from State University of New York at Oswego with a public relations and business administration bachelor of arts. For the past six years, Lydia has been mastering traditional and digital marketing in the B2B industry.
She started her career at a small manufacturing company in Akron, NY, AAkron Line (formerly AAkron Rule). Eventually, she ventured downtown to Eastman Machine Company, a global manufacturer of industrial cutting machines.
During her time at Eastman, Lydia quickly moved up to a management position. She was responsible for coordinating company participation at 8-15 global tradeshow events each year, involving unique industries like composite material, furniture, and infrastructure. Other responsibilities included print and digital advertising, social media management, and email campaign creation.
With a passion for connection and philanthropy, Lydia proudly led the Engagement Committee at Eastman. She regularly organized volunteer and fundraising opportunities with FeedMore WNY, United Way, and St. Luke’s Mission of Mercy.
This past December, Lydia decided to take a leap and develop her own brand. The Loop is a creative marketing agency dedicated to increasing brand awareness, engagement, and sales for small businesses. https://lnkd.in/dqKSrjHU
In her spare time, you’ll find Lydia in a clay studio crafting pottery or trying new restaurants. Lydia also loves to travel and immerse herself into new cultures - recently having spent the last few months exploring Australia, Spain, and Portugal.
