Beyond thrilled to receive the Rookie of the Year Award at Points North during my first year here as a Senior Marketing Specialist! 🏆 This honor would not have been possible without the mentoring and empowerment from my boss Alise Houserman, who gave me room to take risks, spearhead strategy ideas, and grow exponentially over this past year.
I’ve also had the opportunity to learn so much from the outstanding people at Points North through some of the most powerful collaboration across teams I have ever seen at a company. A special thanks to my colleagues who have taken the time to give me input, educate me, and feed their amazing perspectives and ideas to our team to turn into marketing gold! 💪
Here are just a few key ways our culture at Points North has helped push me to be the best version of myself this year:
1. Being Customer-Centric is Key: Truly ruthless prioritization and focus on customer needs, pain points, and dislikes has helped me evolve our strategies and prevent company-outward thinking.
2. Fail Fast, Learn Faster: I am the type of person who gets paralyzed by perfection - being told by my mentors that failure is okay and expected when growing has been huge in learning to learn market signals and gather crucial data.
3. Don't Underestimate the Power of Purpose: Highlighting how individual contributions matter makes every project feel more meaningful. Internally, we like to talk about "Celebrating the Wins, no Matter the Size" - feeling great about wins every month shifts your perspective on every. single. task.
4. Talent Development Cultivates Passion: Points North has pushed me to break out of my comfort zone in terms of personal development, including attending events that have led to new key partnerships and significantly boosted my confidence in new areas of marketing. Knowing I will continue to get this support makes me so much more committed to my team and focused on developing skills that will directly impact us day-to-day.
Thanks again to everyone who has mentored me in this new role - I can't wait to continue to exceed expectations and help Alise take this team to even newer heights this year!
