Background

About Laura Ashman

Throughout my career, both as a professional organizer and my previous years spent in advertising and marketing, I have been effective in earning the trust of prospective clients. Most importantly I deliver. I understand the clients’ needs and provide customized, practical solutions. My strengths include and not limited to being patient, resourceful, creative, energetic, compassionate, trustworthy, and competent. My greatest accomplishment as a professional organizer is helping families and businesses through major transitions. I meet people when they are overwhelmed and stuck. They are unsure how to get to where they need to be. Some are unsure what needs to be done. I provide the solutions. As a professional organizer I have also served as both wedding planner and B’nai Mitzvah planner for my clients. Communicating and coordinating with all vendors, helping to make decisions, and attending the events to make sure all goes smoothly. During my time with Fitness Warehouse I successfully organized and managed events including partnering with The LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon. The event attendance was overwhelming and a great success. I created targeted marketing campaigns which included events at major PGA Golf venues. As a radio account executive I created and successfully implemented a wide variety of promotional campaigns that resulted in new business. I also functioned as Music Account Coordinator to the music labels, music stores and major entertainment venues. Developed and implemented Chicago's "US99 Country Corner," a multi-faceted country music campaign for a major retail chain which increased awareness, visibility, and sales of country product in Chicago.
