Background

About Cory Parks

In my career, I have done a little bit of everything. I have experience ranging from public relations, to film and video production, to web design and content strategy (I was even a glass blower at one point). I am passionate about challenging myself to learn and master new skills, while also honing and refining the ones I already have. I believe in having as many tools in the toolbox as possible so that whatever a client's needs might be, I can have the insight and ability to help them with whatever they can throw at me. I have over 10 years of experience as a freelance designer and marketing artist, collaborating with clients from a vast array of industries and backgrounds to create logos, branding essentials, content pieces, and other unique marketing assets. I am a firm believer that the job isn't done when you hit "send" on that final email. The job is done when the client has everything they need to move their brand forward seamlessly and to speak in a voice that is truly their own. In my current role as a marketing specialist at JAX Mercantile Co, I apply my design and branding expertise to plan, strategize, and execute multi-channel campaigns that have measurably improved sales and engagement. During my time at JAX, I have helped refine and shape its brand image into something that authentically and consistently differentiates it from the competition, while still staying true to its 68-year legacy of being "Grown Up and Having Fun". This experience, coupled with my work as a freelancer, has positioned me as an adaptable and dynamic multimedia powerhouse, with a wide range of skills and an attitude that uplifts and motivates any team I am a part of. In my personal life, I am a multi-instrumental musician, composer, and performer. I am always looking for new connections within my community, building a robust network of creative and reliable artists and professionals. I pride myself on being an affable, grounded, and charismatic person, who makes friends and forms meaningful connections effortlessly.
